WHO WE HELP

Growing up is hard enough on its own, without the added burden of also living with an eating disorder. By offering both therapy and nutrition counselling, we provide comprehensive eating disorder care for children and youth as young as 5 years old. For us, this means our clinicians work closely together to provide wrap-around care, meaning you do not need to be a team on your own and instead, can go back to being the parent. Most importantly, it means your child can focus on the big stuff, like school, friendships and eating disorder recovery.

While we usually recommend involving the family in eating disorder recovery, we recognize that this may not be the ideal choice for all our clients. Regardless of your preference, we will help you so that you can put the eating disorder thoughts, feelings and behaviours behind you.

Living with an eating disorder is exhausting. It often feels like the constant battle with your brain will never end, no wonder most individuals feel so stuck. Know that recovery is possible, at any age. Let our team of experienced clinicians help you reclaim your life and overcome the eating disorder. Change Creates Change offers nutrition counselling and psychotherapy, with our clinicians participating in weekly interprofessional clinical rounds to make sure we are always providing comprehensive care. 

Our team's goal is for clients to reach full eating disorder recovery, but we understand this is not everyone’s goal. We will also support adults who choose harm reduction and quality of life approaches to eating disorder care.

Supporting a loved one who is battling an eating disorder is hard. Not only is it heartbreaking to watch a family member suffer, it's near impossible to know what to say and do. Support persons are often burdened with being present for emotional blasts and more often than not, they are on the receiving end of an eating disorder's wrath (too much?). This can lead to caregiver burnout, as well as other mental health challenges.

There's no doubt about it, an eating disorder impacts the entire support system. That is also why we offer Parent, Carers & Sibling Support appointments. Our goal is to provide families with the skills and resources needed to support your loved one while making sure your own mental health is protected and maintained. Our team is committed to making sure that the entire support system is fully cared for, so you can maintain the capacity to care for your loved one living with the eating disorder.
