Tamara Daniszewski
Registered Social Worker, M.ED, MSW, RSW
Therapy for obesity is not about shame or quick fixes, but about understanding the emotional, behavioural and physical pieces of the puzzle. We help you develop a healthier relationship with food, body image and self-worth while exploring stress, trauma or patterns that influence health. You deserve kindness in your healing, not judgment.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Weight and obesity are often treated as simple issues of willpower, discipline, or appearance — but in reality, they can be deeply connected to trauma, neurodivergence, chronic pain, emotional regulation, burnout, hormones, shame, medical experiences, sensory needs, and the exhausting pressure of constantly feeling judged or “not enough.”
My approach goes beyond shame, blame, or generic advice. Together, we explore the deeper patterns that may be impacting your relationship with food, movement, motivation, self-worth, and your body while working toward more compassionate, realistic, and sustainable change.
This work is not just about weight. It is about understanding yourself more fully, reducing shame, reconnecting with your needs, and building a life and relationship with your body that feels more supportive, meaningful, and workable.

Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
Struggling with weight or obesity can affect not only physical health but also emotional wellbeing, self-esteem, and daily life. It can be accompanied by feelings of frustration, guilt, or shame, and sometimes it feels like efforts to change aren’t enough.
In therapy, I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore your relationship with your body, food, and habits. Together, we focus on developing healthier coping strategies, building self-compassion, and creating sustainable approaches that support both your emotional and physical wellbeing.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
Weight isn't just about food—it's about pain, protection, trauma, and survival. Once we've built trust and safety, we'll gently explore what lies beneath: the emotional reasons your body holds onto weight, the ways food became comfort or control, the trauma that taught you to make yourself bigger or smaller. This isn't about dieting or shame. Our focus is your physical health and overall wellbeing, not achieving some ideal number. You'll learn to regulate emotions without using food, understand your body's signals, and address the root causes rather than just symptoms. Healing your relationship with your body means healing what's underneath.

Shannon Kane
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, and Counsellor RP, C.R.P.O, H.B.A, M.A.C.P
Struggling with body image, emotional eating, or self-esteem related to weight can be an emotional burden. I provide a non-judgmental and compassionate approach to help clients explore the underlying emotional connections to food, self-worth, and body image. Using self-compassion therapy, somatic awareness, and cognitive restructuring, I work with individuals to shift unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and cultivate self-acceptance. My goal is to help clients separate self-worth from appearance, build confidence, and foster a positive relationship with their body and overall well-being.

Emily Hiram
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I would never personally use the term 'obesity' as I feel it is stigmatizing but I am limited to the options provided by the directory. I offer a weight-inclusive, anti-diet approach to helping you build a better relationship with food and your body. Weight loss is not the goal, rather I will help you look at your eating habits and begin to find more acceptance of your body and yourself.

Satvinder Khurme
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Obesity is linked with mental health. People who are affected by obesity may be experiencing depression, anxiety, eating disorder. But it is very hard to find out who came first – obesity or mental health. Psychotherapy help pays a major role in treating obesity.

Brian Baumal
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
I lost 100lbs and currently kept it off for eight years (I started August 15, 2012). I remember at my heaviest weight, I wanted to talk to someone who had been there, done that & understood I so badly wanted to change and my frustration at not changing. I wanted someone who could quiet my mind when it worried about my weight and help me gain control of my body and life. I know what it's like to start losing weight, only to abandon the effort shortly thereafter. If you repeat that pattern and put your health and quality of life at risk, then you likely feel that there are issues that need to be addressed psychologically - I can help!
I find people struggling with obesity to keep saying "how will this time be different", or "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired" or "Why am I deliberately ruining my health." Those struggling with obesity have these thoughts going through their head constantly, and even obsessively. My goal in therapy is to use my own experience of successful weight loss, the latest medical theories of obesity and a good solid approach to therapy to address these issues.

Shelley Murphy, Food & Body Image Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapist, BASc, Former RD
Shelley brings a rare combination of expertise as a former registered dietitian turned hypnotherapist. Most people who struggle with their weight already know what foods support health, what habits they “should” be doing and what hasn’t worked before. And yet, emotions trigger overeating, motivation fades, all-or-nothing thinking takes over and shame leads to giving up. This isn’t failure; it’s how the subconscious mind works. Patterns like emotional eating, cravings, and self-sabotage operate below conscious awareness. That’s why insight alone often isn’t enough. Hypnotherapy works by shifting the subconscious patterns that drive behaviour. Rather than forcing change through discipline, Shelley's non-diet approach with hypnotherapy helps your system feel safe enough to respond differently by calming the nervous system, interrupting automatic habit loops, strengthening internal cues of trust and regulation, and reducing the emotional charge around food and weight. So change becomes less effortful, and more sustainable.

Ashleigh Bell
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Qualifying
Weight concerns often come with layers of shame, stigma, and history. Instead of focusing on quick fixes, we’ll explore emotional triggers, body image, and relationship with food and movement, working toward health and self-respect rather than punishment.
