Disordered Eating

Break free from harmful eating patterns and find balance with compassionate, evidence-based therapy at MindSeed.

Healing Your Relationship with Food and Your Body Starts Here

Disordered eating can take many forms, from restrictive dieting and binge eating to obsessive thoughts about food and body image. Even if it doesn’t fit the medical definition of an eating disorder, these patterns can affect your well-being — but with the right support, eating disorder recovery is possible.

Our therapists use proven approaches to help you build a healthier relationship with food, your body, and yourself. We work with people navigating a wide range of experiences—from binge eating help to challenges with body image and mental health.

Common Signs of Disordered Eating

Disordered eating signs look different for everyone. Here are some common experiences therapy can address:

  • Preoccupation with food, weight, or body shape

  • Restrictive eating or skipping meals

  • Emotional eating or binge eating episodes

  • Feeling out of control around food

  • Using exercise, vomiting, or laxatives to compensate for eating

  • Feeling guilt, shame, or distress about eating habits

  • Avoiding social situations that involve food

Recognizing these disordered eating signs is an important step toward eating disorder recovery.

At MindSeed, we offer tailored therapies to help you address the root causes of disordered eating, manage emotions, and build lasting change:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Challenge unhelpful thoughts about food and body image and mental health.

  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): Manage distress and reduce harmful eating behaviours.

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS): Heal inner conflicts and increase self-compassion.

  • Somatic Therapy: Reconnect with your body and reduce shame.

We also support those seeking binge eating help or who are navigating more nuanced struggles not always labelled as eating disorders.

As part of our holistic approach, we can arrange a psychiatric consultation when appropriate. If needed, a psychiatrist will work closely with you and your therapist to provide additional support, including medication recommendations.

This service is available to clients actively engaged in therapy at MindSeed.
