Maybe you’re tired of criticizing yourself in the mirror, comparing yourself to others, or feeling like you’re never “enough.” If you’ve been searching for support for self-esteem or body image concerns here in Barrie, you’re in the right place.
I offer compassionate, down-to-earth therapy for self-esteem and body image issues, helping you build a kinder, more grounded relationship with yourself.
I’m Tatyana Bashkatova, RP, a Registered Psychotherapist at Insight Centre Counselling and Psychotherapy. My work is warm, collaborative, and deeply human. I understand how painful it can be to feel disconnected from your body or to move through the world with a harsh inner critic that never seems to quiet down.

Together, we create space for curiosity, compassion, and genuine healing—at a pace that honours your nervous system and your story.
