As a Registered Psychotherapist, human being, and author of 'Binge Crazy: A Psychotherapist's Memoir of Food Addiction, Mental Illness, Obesity & Recovery' (2018), I view seeking help as a strength - requiring the courage and wisdom to reach your own truths. My practice, based in Gestalt therapy - a holistic, here and now approach encompassing any and all aspects of your life - includes other modalities to find what works best for you - 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 required journey can be challenging and exciting.
In my work with addiction/addictive behaviors (including food addiction), I tailor each person's treatment to their specific needs, drawing from a range of approaches, including psycho-dynamic, 12-step, harm reduction and bio-psycho-social influences. More importantly, I focus on the underlying causes. Sliding scale ($90-$150) 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.
