Disordered Eating Recovery Therapy
Areas of support...
Disordered Eating & Chronic Dieting Therapy
If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of dieting, food rules, and guilt, you’re not alone.
Disordered eating can take many forms—counting every calorie, avoiding entire food groups, or swinging between restriction and overeating.
It’s exhausting and can feel impossible to break free, but recovery is absolutely possible.
You may benefit from Disordered Eating Therapy if you:
-
People who have tried diet after diet and still feel unhappy with their relationship with food.
-
Anyone struggling with guilt, anxiety, or shame about eating.
-
Those who feel “out of control” around food or can’t remember the last time eating felt easy.
-
Our sessions focus on understanding what’s driving your eating patterns—both emotionally and biologically.
We’ll look at the impact of stress, habits, and brain wiring, and work toward a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food.
We combine evidence-based therapy with a biological and neuroscience lens, along with intuitive and mindful eating principles.
We’ll explore how your brain and body are wired to regulate hunger and fullness, and how to reconnect with these signals.
Together, we’ll reduce food anxiety, rebuild trust in your body, and bring back the pleasure and peace that eating can offer.
Orthorexia & Exercise Obsession Therapy
Orthorexia is often misunderstood—it’s not about “wanting to be healthy” but about how rigid food rules can take over your life.
Using CBT, neuroscience, and intuitive eating principles, I help clients find balance, flexibility, and freedom while still honoring their values around health.
You may benefit from Orthorexia Therapy if you:
-
Feel anxious or guilty when eating foods outside your “safe” list
-
Avoid social events or travel because of food concerns
-
Spend excessive time researching or preparing “pure” or “clean” meals
-
Experience health anxiety or physical issues from overly restrictive diets
-
We’ll explore how orthorexia affects the brain’s fear and reward systems, and how perfectionism and control play a role.
CBT tools will help loosen rigid thinking, while mindful eating practices reintroduce flexibility.
You’ll learn how to tune in to your body’s needs and enjoy a variety of foods without anxiety.
Our approach is collaborative and compassionate. I’ll guide you in understanding the neuroscience behind orthorexia and building a toolbox of strategies for eating with more freedom—without losing the parts of health that matter most to you.
Binge/Restrict Cycle Therapy
Feeling Stuck Between Restriction and Losing Control Around Food?
The binge/restrict cycle can feel exhausting and overwhelming. Many people swing between trying to eat “perfectly,” restricting food, overexercising, or following strict food rules — only to later feel out of control around food and consumed by guilt or shame.
This cycle is not a lack of willpower. Often, it’s the body and brain responding to restriction, stress, anxiety, and perfectionism.
At Modern Mind Therapy, we provide online therapy for binge/restrict cycles across Ontario. Our goal is to help you break free from food obsession, guilt, and all-or-nothing eating patterns while building a healthier relationship with food and your body.
You may benefit from this therapy if you:
-
Alternate between dieting and overeating
-
Feel out of control around food after restricting
-
Obsess over calories, food rules, or eating “perfectly”
-
Experience guilt or shame after eating
-
Constantly think about food or your body
-
Struggle with emotional eating or binge eating
-
Compensate through restriction or overexercising
-

CBT-based strategies for disordered eating

Emotion regulation and coping skills

Weight Loss Counselling
Weight loss doesn’t have to mean restrictive diets, punishing workouts, or obsessing over the scale.
I use CBT, neuroscience, and intuitive eating principles to help you approach weight loss in a way that supports both your physical health and emotional wellbeing.
Together, we’ll focus on building sustainable habits, repairing your relationship with food and movement, and finding strategies that work with—rather than against—your body
You may benefit from Weight Loss Counselling if you:
-
Want to pursue weight loss without falling into the cycle of restriction and guilt
-
Feel stuck in all-or-nothing thinking around food and exercise
-
Want to focus on feeling healthier, more energized, and confident in your own skin
-
Are looking for movement that’s enjoyable and sustainable, not exhausting and punishing
-
Together, we will identify and challenge the diet culture rules that have shaped your eating and movement habits.
Using CBT techniques, you’ll work on shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while developing a healthier psychological relationship with food and movement.
We’ll explore how your brain naturally regulates hunger, fullness, and energy balance, and practice mindful eating to increase satisfaction and reduce stress.
You’ll learn how to approach your health goals in a way that’s realistic, sustainable, and kind to your body.
Movement will be reframed as a source of pleasure, strength, and self-care rather than punishment or obligation.
You won’t find weigh-ins, calorie goals, or rigid meal plans here—just a collaborative process to help you rebuild trust in your body, find balance, and create a lifestyle that works in the real world.
If Binge Eating is ruining your health, relationships, or daily life, you don’t have to go through it alone. Book your free consultation or reach out to me with your questions and concerns!
