Aaron Chin
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MA, RCC
When working with weight loss, I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.

Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
The struggle to lose weight occurs in males and females across varying cultures. Feeling unable to lose weight can create feelings of helplessness due to trying out numerous diets without seeing satisfying results. In working with somebody who is overweight or who would like to lose weight the most important factor in our work together is looking beyond the weight loss struggle. Rather than exploring the multiple methods you have tried to lose weight, I would like to get to know you better as a whole person. When did you begin recognizing your need to lose weight? What was going on for you at the time? What does weight gain mean to you, and how does it affect your perception of yourself? I would also like to explore the barriers to losing weight, as they are often linked to unhealthy thoughts patterns and past trauma. Although a small portion of our work together can include psychoeducation on nutrition, we predominantly focus on the underlying issues that have triggered the weight gain. Together we can devise a treatment plan to help you attain your goals and aspirations.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I offer a compassionate and holistic approach to clients seeking support with weight loss, understanding that the journey to achieving a healthy weight is as much about the mind as it is about the body. Integrating strategies such as Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I help clients address the emotional and psychological aspects of eating and weight. Mindfulness practices foster an awareness of hunger, fullness cues and eating habits. EFT helps in managing cravings and emotional eating, while IFS allows clients to explore and heal parts of themselves that may be resisting change. CBT is utilized to challenge and modify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors related to food and body image. Role-Playing can prepare clients for challenging situations around food and eating. My role is to support you in uncovering and overcoming the underlying factors contributing to weight challenges, providing a safe space to explore, learn, and adopt new strategies for a healthier and more balanced life. Together, we work towards not just weight loss, but a deeper sense of well-being and self-acceptance.

That frustrating feeling of the scale sticking, despite our best efforts. The endless cycle of fad diets, restrictive eating plans, and the inevitable return to square one. It's easy to feel defeated, but what if I told you that your body isn't working against you, but rather for you?
Our bodies are incredibly complex, and the reasons for holding onto weight are as unique as we are. It's not simply a matter of calories in versus calories out; there are so many nuanced factors at play. Perhaps it's stress, emotional eating, hormonal imbalances, or even deeply ingrained habits that need to be addressed. The question isn't why can't I lose weight, but rather, what is my body trying to tell me?
Think about it. Have you been pushing yourself to the extreme with unsustainable diets, only to rebound with even more intensity? That's your body's signal that it's not getting what it truly needs. It's craving balance, not deprivation. It's whispering for a sustainable approach, one that nourishes both your body and your soul.
The truth is, true and lasting weight loss isn't found in the latest trendy diet. It’s a journey of self-discovery, of listening to your body’s unique signals, and understanding the deeper reasons why you might be holding onto weight. It's about identifying what triggers your emotional eating, addressing the stress that might be keeping you in a holding pattern, and creating a lifestyle that supports your wellbeing long-term.
This isn't about quick fixes or fleeting results. It's about building a foundation of self-awareness, sustainable habits, and a loving connection with your body. It's about moving beyond the temporary and embracing a path that's both effective and enjoyable.
It's time to stop fighting against your body and start working with it. It's time to move beyond the noise of fad diets and explore the inner landscape of your unique journey. Are you ready to uncover the secrets your body holds? Are you ready to create a truly sustainable plan, one that honors you and empowers you to thrive?
The path to a healthier, happier you begins with self-compassion and a commitment to genuine understanding. Let's embark on this journey together, with open hearts and a belief that lasting change is absolutely within your reach.
