I don't feel ready to work on my emotions, can Live Empowered Counselling still help me?

Yes! We work with folks at every stage of change. We are a team of integrative therapists, meaning we work from a variety of different approaches to meet your individual needs. We work on 'the practical stuff' and 'the emotional stuff." So, if you are looking to work on skill building or have life interfering behaviours that need to be reduced before you can be ready to process your emotions, we can help with that!

I don't have a formal Eating Disorder diagnosis, can I still work with Live Empowered Counselling?

Yes! Although most hospital based programs require a formal diagnosis for a referral, Live Empowered Counselling is a private provider and does not require any diagnosis for you to be a client.

I don't think I have an Eating Disorder, but I feel like my eating is disordered, can I still work with Live Empowered Counselling?

Yes! eating disorders and disordered eating are words that are often used interchangeably to describe experiences with food that result in feelings of anxiety and can be disruptive to overall health and life functioning. Even though disordered eating is a term used to describe food and and body related concerns that do not meat diagnostic criteria for an eating disorder, you are still deserving of help and support as disordered eating can turn into a more severe eating disorder if left untreated.

Does Live Empowered Counselling work with children as well as adults?

Yes! At this time, we are able to serve children, adolescents, and adults.

Can I work with Live Empowered Counselling even if I don't have an Eating Disorder/disordered eating?

Yes! We work with those suffering from eating disorders, disordered eating, developmental trauma, anxiety, relationship struggles, negative body image, poor self-esteem, and many other areas.
