Nourishing Hope, Restoring Balance.

We provide counselling for teens and adults experiencing anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), binge eating disorder (BED), avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), and disordered eating in general. Eating disorders can affect emotions, relationships, daily functioning, and physical health, so treatment often focuses on both symptom change and the deeper patterns keeping the struggle going.

Disordered eating can include restrictive eating, chaotic eating patterns, binge eating, purging, intense guilt around food, obsessive food rules, or a difficult relationship with body image, even when someone does not meet full diagnostic criteria for an eating disorder. Many people need support before symptoms become more severe, and early help can be an important step.

You may benefit from support if food, weight, shape, exercise, or eating habits are taking up a lot of mental space, causing distress, or affecting school, work, health, or relationships. Many people seek therapy when they notice restriction, bingeing, purging, intense anxiety around meals, avoidant eating, or growing shame around food and body image.

Yes. We support both teens and adults with eating disorders and disordered eating, and treatment can be adapted based on age, developmental stage, family involvement, and the person’s specific needs. Research also supports different treatment models for adolescents and adults, including family involvement when appropriate.

When it comes to restoring your relationship with food, we use research-informed, best-practices for eating disorders, including Enhanced Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT-E) and Family-Based Treatment (FBT), depending on the client’s age, presentation, and goals. FBT is widely recommended for adolescents with eating disorders, while CBT-E has evidence for adults and promising results for adolescents as well.

CBT-E, or Enhanced Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, is a structured, evidence-based treatment designed to address the thinking patterns, behaviours, and emotional processes that maintain eating disorder symptoms. It has been used with adults and adapted for adolescents, with studies showing meaningful improvements across different eating disorder presentations.

Family-Based Treatment, or FBT, is an outpatient treatment often used for children and teens with eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. It involves caregivers in supporting recovery and is a leading research-based approach for adolescents, especially when family participation is possible.

Yes. We offer online eating disorder counselling across New Brunswick as well as in-person services in Moncton, NB, giving clients and families flexibility in how they access care. Virtual therapy can improve access to specialized support, especially when geography, transportation, scheduling, or privacy are concerns.

Yes. ARFID is a recognized eating disorder that can involve limited intake, nutritional deficiencies, dependence on supplements, or major interference with daily life, and it differs from anorexia or bulimia because it is not defined by body image or fear of weight gain. Therapy can help identify what is driving the avoidance or restriction and support safer, more flexible eating and nourishment over time.

The first session usually focuses on understanding your current concerns, eating patterns, symptoms, history, goals, and the kinds of support that may be most helpful. A thoughtful assessment is important because eating disorder care often needs to consider emotional wellbeing, behaviour patterns, physical safety, and any family or caregiver involvement, so that a path forward can support both nourishing your body and emotional hope for recovery.
