PATRICIA OBEE

Since becoming a therapist, I have focused my practice on eating disorders and disordered eating — and it remains work I feel genuinely privileged to do. As a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, I am committed to collaborative, client-centered care that honors your intersecting identities and lived experiences. My approach is evidence-based and tailored specifically to your needs, rather than diagnosis alone. I work closely with individuals and families to provide the practical support needed to shift unhelpful patterns, address underlying factors, and build a value-aligned life.

My extensive experience spans the age spectrum across both public eating disorder programs and private practice. This includes working in rural and remote communities with limited access to services, which has led to my involvement in projects focused on program development, clinician education, and advocating for equitable care across BC and the Yukon. My professional development has focused on deepening my skills in eating disorder treatment alongside therapeutic approaches for common co-occurring challenges, including anxiety and OCD.

Prior to becoming a therapist, I competed as an Olympic athlete for Canada in rowing. That experience informs my understanding of the relationship between identity, body, and performance. I offer specialized support for athletes navigating eating disorders and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S).

Outside of my time with clients, I can often be found spending time in nature with my dog (Malcolm) and enjoying quality time with my family and friends.
