Alain Langlais
Licensed Professional Counsellor, M.H., RTC, C.CH T
My approach to counselling is to respect and value the uniqueness of every individual and where they are. I work to support them using creativity, with warmth, understanding and at times, a touch of humour when appropriate.

Kimberly Davidson | Katalyst Integrated Trauma Treatment
Counsellor/Therapist, RCS, MTC, RTC, SEP, CCTP, CCISM, CFRC, CATP, NARM
Most eating disorders start from early childhood / developmental trauma. Finding out why you eat, how it is trying to help you etc., can help you to heal the ED in a way that it can support you differently and no longer hurt you.

Jue Wang
Counsellor/Therapist, MCP, RCC, CCC
Eating disorders are severe health concerns. They are vastly under-treated and diagnosed due to the fat phobia within the system and the widespread diet culture.

Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
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.

Lauren Lacey
Registered Psychotherapist, MCouns&PsychTh, MMktg, BHlthSc(Nutr&Diet), BPyschSc, GDipNat (Naturopathy)
Perhaps you struggle with body acceptance. Want freedom from compulsive exercise? Or maybe it’s time to ditch the fitness tracker and be your healthiest self. The way we move, think, and eat can reveal a lot about ourselves. I will help you to look deep within. To notice and make adjustments that align with the best expression of yourself.
I have recovered from exercise addiction, and disordered beliefs around food, and as a competitive marathon runner battled with hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA). Having completed a Master’s in Psychotherapy, a Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics, Naturopathy, and a Graduate Diploma in Psychology I discovered a profound gap between the kinds of daily struggles people experience around food and their body. Through my marathon training, I recognized that understanding the psychology of eating is key to helping people create a nourishing, supportive relationship with food and their body.
