Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Kawartha Lakes, ON.

When I work with clients who are struggling with eating disorders, I focus on helping them understand the thoughts, emotions, and triggers that drive their behaviours. I use DBT to teach concrete tools such as urge management, grounding, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation, which help reduce bingeing, restricting, purging, or other harmful patterns. I also help clients identify the situations, emotions, and beliefs that lead to unhealthy eating behaviours, and together we create practical strategies to interrupt these cycles. We will look at body image, perfectionism, impulsivity, and control in a clear and straightforward way.

While I do not offer support for eating disorders, at Psychotherapy Collective, we have other therapists who are well positioned to support you. Eating disorders are not really about food. They involve complex emotional issues that have significant impact on ones physical, emotional and social health. If you are preoccupied with your weight, focused on body image, size, or shape, compelled to perform specific rituals around food, obsessive about food, or deem foods as “safe” or “unsafe” to eat you may be engaging in disordered eating.

Struggles with food and body image often develop as ways to cope with pain, anxiety, or a need for control. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space to understand these patterns and begin healing your relationship with your body. Together we’ll work toward restoring trust, safety, and nourishment - physically, emotionally, and mentally. Using a trauma-informed, evidence-based approach, we’ll explore what your body is communicating and help you cultivate balance, freedom, and self-acceptance around eating and self-care.

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.
