Anorexia nervosa. Binge eating. Bulimia. ARFID. Pica. Orthorexia. These aren't just diets or lifestyle choices; they are complex mental health conditions characterized by dysfunctional eating behaviors and thoughts about food and weight. They can be dangerous to our mental and physical health. They are notoriously difficult to treat, and the road to recovery can be long. The earlier an eating disorder is detected and treated, the greater the chance of recovery. To treat an eating disorder, it is best to have a team that includes the person with the the eating disorder (and their parents and/or partner), a doctor (who may prescribe medicine), a dietician with expertise in eating disorders, and of course, a therapist. Usually, the immediate priority is behavioural change (e.g. eating less restrictively, reducing the frequency of purging or binging). During this stage, the role of the therapist is to support the journey toward tangible change, to help you manage your mental health and validate your feelings. As behaviours improve, a therapist can help you understand the contributing factors that led to the eating issues and body image problems; examine the thoughts, feelings and actions that maintain negative behaviour cycles; identify and gain insight into your triggers and how to manage them; improve your eating habits, self image, confidence, and resilience; and develop personalized coping strategies to replace negative behaviours like bingeing, vomiting, use of laxatives and diet pills, and over-exercise. ​The therapy part is what I do. I'm a compassionate, experienced and highly qualified counsellor. And eating disorder therapy is not just a sideline for me. For 9 years, my private practice has significantly focused on helping teens and young adults who are struggling with body image or eating challenges. I'm also connected; I know London's eating disorder resources, including local dieticians who specialize in eating disorders. If you or someone you love is struggling with these challenges, I can definitely help! My website [ krcounselling.ca/eating-disorders ] has lots of great information about the types of eating disorders, possible signs, common food rituals, and how eating disorders are treated. It also explains the role of talk therapy when dealing with an eating disorder ... and what to look for in an ED therapist.

Brantford, Ontario therapist: Shannon Wylie, registered social worker
Eating Disorders

Shannon Wylie

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I am currently accepting new clients. No waitlist! Evening sessions available for in-person or online sessions. Having worked as a Registered Social Worker for over 12 years, I have established an approach to working with clients that leaves them feeling heard and supported. For those struggling with eating disorders, my eight month training with Toronto General Hospital's Eating Disorder Day Program provided me with a strong foundation of knowledge and skills for supporting clients struggling with anorexia, bulimia and those who are wanting to improve their relationship with food. We will explore areas such as self-esteem, healthy coping mechanisms, exploring underlying thoughts, feelings and experiences that might be perpetuating your struggle, addressing eating disorder symptoms such as restricting, compensating and body checking and work towards building a healthier relationship with your body. During our sessions I create a space where you can safely and effectively work towards your wellness goals and make positive changes in your life. This may involve talking things through, processing and making sense of difficult experiences, addressing unhelpful thought or behaviour patterns, or establishing more effective coping mechanisms. Please feel free to explore my website for more information or to book a free 20 minute consultation. I would love to hear from you! www.hyggecounselling.com

Eating Disorders

Kristen Bailey Counselling

Counsellor/Therapist, Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology
I am here to support you whether you have an eating disorder or you can see there is some unhelpful patterning going on with your relationship with food. I have worked a great deal with the whole spectrum and have seen real success for people through therapy. This includes processing of one's familial history and messaging around food and weight and the impact this has had, skills around managing difficult thoughts and emotions, addressing fears around weight gain/giving up control and getting clear around what is important to you and how your relationship with your food and body may be getting in the way.

Eating Disorders

Admitting that an eating disorder has developed is a very brave and courageous step. By engaging in this first step you are already beginning your recovery process. Many individuals are in denial about their eating disorder and only acknowledge their problematic behaviours once their health is severely impacted. Since the behaviours of an eating disorder are unique across individuals, the treatment plan too, is unique. In therapy, we largely explore the meaning that you give to the eating disorder, how you developed your relationship with food, and the purpose that the eating disorder served in your life. Once you gain a deeper understanding of the cause of the eating disorder, my hope is that you view yourself through a nonjudgmental lens, which is a crucial step in the healing process. In order to help you overcome the eating disorder, I also use a variety of therapy models, such as narrative therapy in order to separate the disorder from the person. Once you perceive the issue as separate from the self, you are more likely to activate your self-healing capacities, which is important for experiencing change and growth. I also use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for challenging some of the thoughts that you may have about food. Once you gain insight into your personalized history of the eating disorder, as well as the resources that you have for overcoming dysfunctional eating patterns, you move further into your journey to recovery.
