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.

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.

Semra Lamky, Emotional Peace Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), MACP, Bsc
I support individuals in exploring the emotional, psychological, and behavioural aspects of their relationship with food, body image, and self-esteem. Obesity is often influenced by complex factors such as trauma, stress, anxiety, and societal pressure, and my approach is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and rooted in understanding each person's unique story. I help clients identify underlying emotional triggers, develop healthier coping strategies, and build a more positive and sustainable relationship with their bodies and overall well-being. My goal is to empower individuals to make meaningful changes while fostering self-acceptance and resilience.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
It is widely accepted that weight loss, eating disorders, and anxiety are all issues that hypnosis is successful at dealing with. All have their root in emotional issues and the habitual way people see themselves and their lives. Research shows that most people who are grossly overweight have suffered some trauma in their lives leading them to holding on to excess weight and no amount of dieting will permanently change that without resolving those past traumas and changing habits and relationship with food. I see many such clients in my practice and we are able to find them healing and moving on to healthier lifestyle. While we work on the emotional roots of eating problems, it is possible to do hypnotic Gastric Band therapy which works exactly like the real Gastric band but without the painful and expensive surgery. We can set a limit beyond which you feel full and can't eat any more.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Weight concerns are often intertwined with stress, emotional eating, shame, trauma, sleep, and identity—not just “discipline.” Therapy supports sustainable behavior change by focusing on nervous system regulation, self-compassion, and the real drivers behind patterns. The aim is respectful health-focused change, not punishment.

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.
