About - The Body Love Lab - Eating Disorder Program

Hi, I'm Jenna Jones

Psychotherapist, Social Worker

My name is Jenna Jones, and I am a social worker and psychotherapist specializing in eating disorder recovery. Since earning my Master’s Degree in Social Work from McGill University in 2016, I’ve dedicated my career
to supporting individuals on their journey to healing.
I am deeply committed to helping individuals overcome eating disorders and rebuild a positive relationship with their body and mind.
This work is my calling, and I approach it with unwavering passion.

My Experience

+ Over 1,000 clients supported in their eating disorder recovery journey.

+ Diverse clinical settings: including inpatient units, day programs, and outpatient care.

+ Psychotherapy support services for: Individual, couples,
and family therapy.

+ Group facilitation: for eating disorder clients and their loved ones.

+ Supervision and training: Guides and mentors interns specializing in eating disorders and offers training for professionals.

The Body Love Lab represents my commitment to making compassionate, evidence-based support accessible to everyone in need, without delay.

The eating disorder program is designed to provide immediate access to eating disorder recovery tools. It mirrors the structure and effectiveness of on-site treatment programs.

My Theoretical approach

The foundation of this program is built on leading,
evidence-based approaches to eating disorder recovery.
The theories applied include:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Focused on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors.
Mindfulness Self-Compassion Therapy: Encouraging self-kindness and emotional resilience.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT): Balancing acceptance and change through skills like emotion regulation and mindfulness.
Shame Resilience Theory: Building the capacity to process and overcome feelings of shame.
Family Systems Theory: Understanding the dynamics within families and their impact on recovery.

My Clinical approach

I take a non-pathologising and holistic approach to treatment.
I subscribe to the idea that the wellbeing of a person extends beyond their physical and mental reality and into their sociocultural world. Together, we explore the relevance and influence of family, community, cultural norms, social expectations and spirituality on a person’s health.  

Through a holistic lens, I help the person identify the extent to which their inner and outer worlds have become confused and blurred through unspoken rules, microaggressions, internalised messages and oppressive structures.
I support the person in understanding and improving the ways in which their internal dialogue is connected to the society
they live in and the people in their world.
