Eating Disorder, Disordered Eating & Body Image Therapy in Ottawa and Across Ontario
Compassionate eating disorder therapy and body image support in the West End (Nepean), and virtually across Ontario.
Felt Sense Psychotherapy offers eating disorder therapy, disordered eating support, and body image therapy in Ottawa for individuals who are struggling with their relationship with food, their body, and themselves.
Your relationship with food and your body is shaped by more than eating habits alone. It can be influenced by your experiences, relationships, culture, trauma, perfectionism, identity, and the messages you have received about worth and appearance. If you feel stuck in cycles of restriction, binge eating, emotional eating, food rules, body shame, or self-criticism, therapy can help you understand these patterns with compassion.
At Felt Sense Psychotherapy, our therapists provide trauma-informed, person-centred therapy for eating concerns. Rather than focusing on willpower, shame, or changing your body, we work together to understand the emotions, experiences, and protective patterns that have shaped your relationship with food and yourself.
We support individuals experiencing:
-
Eating disorders, including anorexia, binge eating, and ARFID
-
Disordered eating patterns and chronic dieting
-
Emotional eating and using food to cope
-
Body image struggles and body shame
-
Perfectionism and self-criticism
-
Anxiety, trauma, neurodivergence, and life transitions connected to eating concerns
Healing your relationship with food and your body is not just about changing behaviours—it is about developing a deeper understanding of yourself, reconnecting with your needs, and building a more compassionate relationship with your body.
Our therapists integrate approaches including somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment-based psychotherapy and some cognitive approaches to support meaningful, lasting change.
Whether you are looking for eating disorder therapy or body image therapy in Nepean, or virtual eating disorder support anywhere in Ontario, Felt Sense Psychotherapy offers a supportive space to begin healing. You do not have to wait until things feel “bad enough” to seek support. Therapy can help you move toward a life that feels more connected, flexible, and no longer defined by food rules or self-criticism.
