To me, as a Registered Psychotherapist, human being, and author of 'Binge Crazy: A Psychotherapist's Memoir of Food Addiction, Mental Illness, Obesity & Recovery', 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, from current anxieties, relationships, and family dynamics to past and recent trauma. I also 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.
Binge Crazy (2018) is available in ebook and paperback formats at most online bookstores
The emotional damage from life's frustrations and disappointments often underlie the mental preoccupation with food, eating, weight, body-image and control, and if left unchecked, can get worse over time. From my training and 40+ years of lived recovery, 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.

I am essentially a Gestalt therapist who uses a holistic approach, drawing from many resources, to guide you. While I specialize in disordered eating, when you scratch the surface, underneath lies the trauma and its counterparts that need healing. The treatment plan is to follow your lead. What do you need in this moment?

Basically, we talk. You speak. I listen, with an open heart. I ask questions. You can answer or choose not to. Sometimes I share my own experiences if I think they might help. Sometimes, in line with my Gestalt training, I'll suggest an experiment, which you may choose to do or not. I draw on whatever might work. In person or online, I'm here for you.

Hosted by
Natalie Gold

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.
