Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Gravenhurst, ON.

Struggles with food, eating, or body image can feel exhausting and deeply personal. You may feel stuck in patterns that are hard to explain, or find yourself constantly thinking about food, control, appearance, or self-worth. Therapy offers a supportive space to explore what may be happening underneath these struggles with compassion rather than judgment. My connection-first approach focuses on helping clients build greater self-awareness, emotional connection, and a healthier relationship with themselves over time.

In working with eating disorders, I take a compassionate, non-judgmental approach that focuses on understanding the emotional and psychological functions of eating patterns. Clients are supported in rebuilding trust with their bodies, exploring underlying emotional needs, and developing healthier coping strategies. The focus is on safety, stabilization, and gradual change rather than shame-based approaches. Clients often benefit from improved self-awareness, reduced distress around food and body image, and a more balanced and connected relationship with themselves.

It is rarely about food! People suffering from eating disorders or disturbed eating habits tend to feel judged by themselves or others, the need to be perfect, depressed, anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, or a sense of lack of control. As a psychologist who obtained an undergraduate degree in Nutritional Science from McGill University, I focus on addressing the biological, psychological, and social aspects of eating problems in sessions. I use cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help clients effectively regulate their feelings, understand the role of thoughts played in eating problems, and learn strategies to cultivate relationships.

There are effective psychotherapy treatments for eating disorders to help you get back to normalized eating and feeling better. Eating disorder treatment requires specialized knowledge since it typically involves nutritional education and specialized treatment plans.
