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.

Kevin Jones
Psychologist, MACP
My approach to supporting clients managing obesity focuses on creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore the physical, emotional, and behavioral factors that influence weight and health. I help clients identify patterns related to eating, activity, stress, and self-image while supporting them in developing realistic, sustainable strategies for behavior change. Using evidence-informed approaches, including cognitive-behavioural techniques and motivational support, I work with clients to build confidence, enhance self-care, and improve overall well-being. My goal is to empower clients to make lasting lifestyle changes while fostering a positive relationship with their body and health.

Calgary's economy is closely tied to the energy sector, making residents particularly vulnerable to the psychological effects of economic downturns and job uncertainty. The city has a young, ambitious professional demographic with growing mental health awareness, and therapists here frequently address anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, and career-related identity challenges. Calgary also has a growing and diverse immigrant population, with many therapists offering culturally informed care for newcomers navigating settlement stress and identity transitions. Alberta Health Services provides a foundation of public mental health care, with a substantial private practice community serving the inner city and surrounding communities.
