Counselling will initially be available for B.C. residents aged 19 years or older.

No. Clients may have a clinical diagnosis or may be self-diagnosed. No referral is
required.

We support individuals struggling with Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder and OSFED.

No, however, you may be eligible if you are on a hospital or residential program waitlist or have been discharged from such a program.

We ask that you be able to attend counselling sessions every week or once every two weeks for a maximum of ten months.

Sessions are offered at $35.

In certain circumstances. This will be discussed during the initial consultation with an eating disorder therapist.

This is not necessarily a barrier to support, and we know that many people who struggle with an eating disorder face additional challenges. You must be considered physically and psychologically stable, with a capacity to commit to therapeutic work on your eating disorder.

Your therapist is there to help you explore the issues that feel most pressing in your life. You will set goals and work through the thoughts, emotions and behaviours that you feel affect you the most. While there will be a strong focus on an individual’s eating disorder, your therapist will also focus on getting to know you as a whole person.

We will strive to run the program year-round in order to best meet the needs of clients and students.
Ten-month practicums will enable overlap and sufficient transition times.

At present, most of our funding comes from B.C. donors. In addition, Looking Glass Foundation’s Vision and Mission currently focuses on British Columbia. We are aware of the demand for affordable counselling and want to manage our scope to avoid being one more eating disorder program with a very long waitlist. If you live outside B.C. and are seeking therapeutic support, please visit the National Eating Disorder Information Centre (NEDIC)’s Find a Provider tool.
