Ms Kirstyn Greenside

Registered Social Worker

“A registered social worker & psychotherapist, specializing in eating disorders, compulsive exercise, and body image.”

About Me

This psychotherapist guides individuals struggling with eating disorders, compulsive exercise, and body image concerns. She understands the profound impact these challenges have on daily life. Sessions explore the roots of these patterns. Together, you will develop compassionate, practical strategies for healthier relationships with food and self. Clients seeking a supportive space to navigate these complex feelings will find her approach understanding and effective.

Approach

Specializing in these concerns, my work moves from exploring roots to building manageable habits that fit your life. In Toronto I offer English-language appointments and secure online sessions with steady pacing: brief check-ins, focused reflection, and practical tasks between meetings. Sessions blend emotional exploration, trauma-attuned listening, and gentle behavioural experiments so shifts feel concrete and tolerable. People juggling anxiety, identity questions, or struggles with control often find this paced, compassionate way of working helpful.
