Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Aurora, ON.

Body image & eating disorders usually develop alongside powerful emotions such as shame, self-criticism, and a sense of disconnection from one’s body. In this work, I draw on CBT, ACT, DBT, IFS and other modalities to help people develop a more compassionate and sustainable relationship with themselves. In addition to food behaviours, we explore emotional patterns, internal pressures, and life experiences that may be contributing factors. Clients benefit from learning how to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings while reconnecting with personal values, self-respect, and a sense of balance.

Eating disorders may be common, but they are dangerous if left untreated. They are complex emotional issues that can be influenced by our family environment, relationships, school, career, and by the media. Eating disorders binge eating, purging, using laxatives, over-exercising, feeling guilty about food, over-eating, and obsessing about weight. Our therapists have years of experience in helping people deal with eating disorders. We will develop a treatment plan for you that will empower you to take control and free yourself from the problems. Our aim is to develop tools and resources to not just change your way of thinking and eating but also promote healthier patterns and behavior.

Eating disorders can deeply affect emotional, physical, and social well-being, and recovery often requires both compassion and specialized care. In our work together, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore the underlying emotional, relational, and cognitive patterns that contribute to disordered eating. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies such as CBT, EFT, and trauma-informed care, focusing on building a healthier relationship with food, body, and self. Together, we address negative self-image, develop effective coping strategies, and foster self-compassion. The goal is to support lasting change by restoring balance, strengthening self-worth, and helping you reconnect

I use a cognitive behavioural therapy approach to address disordered eating patterns. I work with clients to help them identify the thought patterns and behaviours that lead to disordered eating patterns. I encourage clients to monitor the habits that they have developed over time and once these habits have been identified we work together to challenge and change them.

I focus supporting those working with disordered eating which includes restrictive and compulsive eating and irregular or inflexible eating patterns. Eating disorders are an extreme form of disordered eating and are diagnosed. As a psychotherapist, I am unable to provide a diagnosis; however, I do use a team-based approach. We work together to build a care team that you trust and that will support you on this journey. If this leads to an assessment and diagnosis for an eating disorder that may become part of the journey. My approach includes walking alongside you as you learn skills, building safety, self-compassion, and trust, and connect to the value of a support system.

While most eating disorder issues are treated by cognitive behavioral methodologies or specialized outpatient/inpatient programs, Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, PhD provide relief first and foremost for the brain of one suffering from an eating disorder----without giving them medication. We believe that the neural circuitries responsible for the compulsive behaviors with eating are not necessarily only a neurotransmitter issue but of overused neural networks that affect the harmonization, balance, and decisions of the whole brain.
