Does anyone know of any therapists or counsellors that specialize or serve people with disordered eating/eating disorders? Or what resources there are in Brandon to access?

Located 1605 Victoria Avenue Brandon  
 
Westwindcounselling.ca

Or the 7th Street Access Centre. They will be able to refer you.

While Westwind seems like an excellent program and resource we are lucky to have in Brandon, it is private and requires out-of-pocket payment

Then make doubly sure who you see knows about eating disorders. It is a mental health disorder few therapists know how to treat and can do more damage. You may get a referral to a dietitian. This is not a problem with food but with mental health. Maybe a good therapist in conjunction with an eating disorder informed dietitian can help.

This is free and they have staff for this.  
 
As it is a mental health issue, a referral from your family doctor may be required: it may not be: to get to see a Psychiatrist to keep an overall health care being done.  
 
Don't forget Mental Health Clinic in downtown mall.
