To me, as a Registered Psychotherapist, human being, and author of 'Binge Crazy: A Psychotherapist's Memoir of Food Addiction, Mental Illness, Obesity & Recovery' (2018), seeking help is a strength. It requires the courage and wisdom to reach your own truths. I'm rooted in Gestalt therapy, a holistic, here and now approach encompassing every aspect of your life. To find what works best for you, I include other modalities, from creative forms of expression to more structured methods. In Gestalt, you are the expert (on you) and I am the guide to help you explore what needs healing.
The mental preoccupation with food, eating, weight, body-image and control, and the emotional damage from the frustrations and disappointments along the way, can get worse over time if left unchecked. From my training and lived experience, learning to accept and honor the way forward can be challenging and exciting.
Your treatment is tailored to your specific needs. I draw on a range of approaches, including psycho-dynamic, 12-step, harm reduction and bio-psycho-social influences. More importantly, I focus on the underlying causes. The LGBTQ community is welcome. A sliding scale ($100-$150) is available. You choose.

Groups
FADES: Food Addiction & Disordered Eating Support
FADES, a support group led by Natalie Gold, RP, of changehappens.ca, is for women who struggle with food addiction or disordered eating -- binge eating, compulsive or emotional eating, food restriction, and bulimia. FADES offers support to women who could benefit from some professional guidance with a small group of peers in a safe setting at a low cost (pay-as-you-go per session). But it is NOT a substitute for psychotherapy. Phone interview required. Due to COVID-19, FADES shifted online. NOTE: FADES is currently on a break till July 2023. If you wish to be on the email wait-list, please contact.
