Heather Leblanc is a trauma-informed, weight-inclusive, and neurodiversity-affirming therapist who grounds their work in the understanding that people do not exist in a vacuum. Their practice centers on the belief that relationships, culture, and systemic forces deeply influence an individual’s sense of self and how they move through the world. With compassion and curiosity, they invite clients to explore these influences, understand their impact, and reshape internal narratives – especially those rooted in shame.
They specialize in supporting individuals navigating eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, neurodivergence (including ADHD and autism), life transitions, and relational challenges. Their areas of interest reflect an awareness of how experiences such as diet culture, weight stigma, ableism, and broader societal pressures intersect with emotional well-being and identity.
Heather draws from a range of evidence-based modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and several forms of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, such as CBT and CBT-E, CBT-T, and CBT-AR for eating disorders. These frameworks allow them to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs while supporting meaningful, sustainable change.
She is committed to creating an affirming, collaborative therapeutic space where clients can reconnect with their authentic selves, cultivate resilience, and build lives that feel freer and more aligned with their values.
