Skye McCrindle RSW, MSW
 

Skye is a Registered Social Worker who specializes in body liberation and self-esteem counselling. Skye is a white, nonbinary, bi, and self-identified fat person with lived experience of mental health and body shame struggles.

     Skye believes that everybody and every body is inherently             worthy and that a supportive community is a powerful                   way to heal.

               As a trauma-informed practitioner, they aim for a safe                   therapeutic space that is centered around consent,                       choice, and autonomy. Their style is informal and                           conversational, and they believe finding the right fit                     therapist is super important to support healing.

               
               They are particularly passionate about working with                   folx who want to reject diet culture and anti-fat bias,                and improve their relationship with their bodies, food,                and themselves. They also love to work with people who         experience anxiety and/or who are neurodivergent or questioning if they may be.

 

Skye works from an anti-oppressive and social justice-oriented perspective, which means they consider how things like capitalism, patriarchy, white supremacy, ableism, queerphobia, etc impact how we feel about ourselves and each other. Their approach is grounded in body liberation and intersectional feminism.

​

Skye has been working as an individual counsellor since 2020, and has been a social worker since 2013. They have a background in community social work, including the housing and developmental services sector. Skye uses a variety of therapeutic modalities in their work which include self-compassion, mindful noticing of thoughts, emotions, and sensations, parts work, and embodied (or somatic) practices.

When Skye isn’t working they are spending time in queer community, trying not to get cat fur into their knitting, walking their dog, and spending time near the ocean. Skye is available for online support only, as they live out of province (but are registered to work with Ontario folks!).
