Do You Feel Disconnected or Self Critical?

Many people struggle with how they see themselves, how they feel in their bodies, or their relationship with food. These challenges can show up in subtle or persistent ways through self-criticism, comparison, control, or feeling disconnected from yourself altogether.
Whether you’re navigating challenges with self-esteem, body image, relationship with food, or disordered eating, therapy offers a space to explore your experience with care and curiosity. Our therapists are here to help you meet your goals without judgment and work towards the life you hope to see for yourself one gentle step at a time.
You feel disconnected from your body or unsure of how to care for it.
You often push yourself to keep going even when you’re exhausted.
It feels hard to rest without experiencing guilt.
You notice yourself comparing or criticizing parts of your experience.
You avoid certain foods or feel anxious eating outside your routine.
You feel unsure of your worth no matter what you do.
Our relationship with our bodies and sense of self is shaped by experiences, environment, and the messages we’ve absorbed over time. Therapy provides a space to untangle these influences, build self-compassion, and develop a healthier relationship with food and body image. Together, you can strengthen confidence, self-worth, and cultivate a kinder, more trusting connection with yourself.
At Fancy Therapy Services, your therapist’s approach to treatment will be tailored to your unique needs and goals. Our therapists are equipped with knowledge about the interplay between self-esteem, body image, and disordered eating. Common evidence based techniques used in therapy are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Comittment Therapy (ACT), and much more. Studies have shown that therapy in combination with nutritional counselling has significantly improved treatment outcomes.
Please consult your doctor or healthcare provider for any medical problems, considerations, or questions. Do you know or suspect that you might struggle with self-esteem, body image, or disordered eating?

Therapy for Self-Esteem, Body Image, and Disordered Eating aims to help you move toward a life guided by your values. You can expect to be met with empathy, non-judgment, and compassion in a space where you’re invited to explore your story at your own pace. Even when it feels hard to talk about your past or your relationship with your body, Therapy for Self-Esteem, Body Image, and Disordered Eating can help you uncover beliefs or patterns that no longer serve you.
In healthy relationships, feedback is meant to bring people closer. It creates space for clarity, repair, and growth. Yet for many individuals, even gentle feedback can feel surprisingly intense. ...more

As a psychotherapy practice based in Kitchener, Ontario, we acknowledge that our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabeg peoples. This land is part of the Haldimand Tract, which was promised to the Six Nations of the Grand River.
We recognize the longstanding relationships with the land that Indigenous peoples have maintained as its original caretakers. Our practice extends its services across Canada, and we acknowledge that our work spans many traditional Indigenous territories. We recognize that there are 46 treaties and other agreements that cover the territory now called Ontario. As we operate in various locations, we commit to learning about and respecting the specific Indigenous communities in each area where we provide our services.
