I work with clients to identify what keeps them stuck in their disordered eating cycle which often involves understanding what they believe is helpful about the behaviour. Whether it provides a temporary escape from reality, a sense of control of their lives or a way to feel good about themselves in the moment, I help clients break the cycle by meeting the need of the behaviour in a healthier way. Clients feel empowered to let go of the disordered eating behaviour giving back control of their relationship with food and health and their relationship with themselves. Clients are confident in their ability to handle future challenges which opens up the opportunity to work towards their goals and to live the life they’ve always envisioned.

When clients are facing an eating disorder, they are facing a condition which affects their health, their identity, and ultimately, their future. When treating an eating disorder then, it is vitally important to support the whole person and not just their eating habits. Part of this support involves stabilization techniques aimed at preventing relapses and spirals, while also helping clients regard themselves in a more honest, loving, and compassionate way. We cherish the support we are able to offer clients facing an eating disorder, and we love seeing people overcome by such challenges ultimately become overcomers themselves.

I provide a compassionate and holistic space for clients to explore the complex underlying factors contributing to their struggles with food and body image. Through a combination of evidence-based modalities such as ACT, DBT, and ACT, I help clients develop a healthier relationship with food, challenge distorted beliefs, and address emotional and psychological aspects related to their eating disorder. By fostering self-compassion, enhancing body acceptance, and promoting sustainable behavior change, clients can experience improved self-esteem, enhanced physical health, and a renewed sense of empowerment in their lives.

My focus is on examining the underlying trigger-experience of early on-set traumas which unresolved often lead to the symptoms of Eating Disorders. My approach is to help you move through this with immediate daily self-calming strategies that helps with an understanding of the meaning of food as "addictive" or repulsed in this complex psycho-social dynamic. It involves using an Assertive "Voice" quelled that needs expression. Establishing daily eating habits is the core of the change that would promote a cognitive shift from the self-image script set during the traumatic experience to newly-learned behaviours that would re-align with the revised and positive and affirming new script.

My approach to eating disorders is not about food, weight, or behavioral control. Eating disorders are an attempt to solve an unbearable internal problem — a response to disconnection, shame, trauma, and the collapse of self-worth. Beneath the surface is often a profound struggle with control, identity, and relational injury. Our work is not about monitoring behaviors but about healing the deeper fractures that make the eating disorder necessary. This is a process of restoring dignity, agency, and right relationship with self, body, and life itself.

Those suffering from eating disorders are not just dealing with how to most effectively manage their relationships to food. Rather, disorder eating is often a way individuals attempt to cope with difficult problems, interpersonal distress or regain a sense of control in their lives and inner experience. These illnesses impact a person’s sense of identity, worth, self-esteem and interpersonal relationships. There is help and hope, you too can recover and live a fulfilled life. Shauna can help you find new coping methods and transform patterns through CBT, DBT and interpersonal therapy.

Dr. Van Blyderveen has over seven years of experience working with clients who have struggled with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and body dissatisfaction.

Family Based Therapy (FBT) is offered for youth struggling with an eating disorder.

Eating disorders often feel like a quest for control in a chaotic world. It is like a voice that distorts our relationship with our bodies and our selves. You will not be defined by this struggle.

Together we will rewrite the narrative about food, body, and self-worth.

Working with me offers a compassionate and curious space to explore your relationship with food and body image.

Together, we aim to understand what your eating patterns are trying to communicate and begin healing the parts of you that rely on them for comfort or control. Through self-compassion and reconnection, you can learn to trust your body, care for yourself, and open up to the possibility of recovery and lasting healing

I have worked with clients who have issues stemming from trauma/abuse and self-esteem. Together we take the necessary steps to change.

Eating disorders can take over an individual’s life and make it difficult for them not to focus on their physical appearance and how to take back control of their lives by controlling their bodies. Fortunately, with counselling and the focus on coping skills, an individual is able to get control of their lives and bodies without having to engage in the behaviours they associate with their eating disorders. With the help of counselling, you can find freedom.
