Live nourishingly, be free.

Danielle Lithwick, MA, RP

Hello! ​I'm Danielle, a Registered Psychotherapist, a 
​Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor, and a Health At Every Size® (HAES®) provider in Ottawa, ON (learn more about these approaches here). I provide in-person and virtual therapy services for individuals who are needing support with eating and body image concerns. Services available for adults 18+ and residents of Ontario only. ​

My therapy practice is driven by my fifteen-year recovery from eating disorders and related mental health concerns, as well as over a decade of professional experience in helping people feel better in their body and mind.
​My personal journey of eating disorder recovery, as well as managing chronic lower back pain, led me on a winding path of holistic health training and work in various professions, including: Yoga Teacher, Mental Health and Addictions Counsellor, Body Positive Personal Trainer, Intuitive Eating Coach, and now, a Registered Psychotherapist that supports those with Eating and Body Image Concerns. 
​
I have been privileged to get the education, training, and support needed throughout my recovery to be able to heal my relationship with food and my body - something I thought for a long time was not possible.  My mission is to provide the hope and healing that I now know is possible, for ALL bodies who want to make peace with food and their body, and find freedom from mental and emotional suffering, so they can lead nourishing, meaningful and joyful lives. 
​Between my lived experience with eating disorder recovery, as well as the culmination of my holistic professional training and work, I can provide a unique and integrative perspective, along with compassionate and empathetic support, throughout your healing journey.
