Sanofer Ansari

Approach: Compassion-focused, CBT, emotion-focused and behavioural approaches.
I explore the psychological and emotional factors that may contribute to difficulties with weight, including stress, emotional eating, self-esteem, body image, and learned behavioural patterns. The focus is on reducing shame, developing healthier coping strategies, and supporting sustainable well-being.

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.

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.

Winnipeg's long, harsh winters and geographic isolation contribute to elevated rates of seasonal depression and mood challenges, and therapists with expertise in SAD and long-term mood management serve a genuine clinical need. The city has the highest proportion of Indigenous residents of any major Canadian city, and therapists offering trauma-informed, culturally grounded care for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit clients — including work on intergenerational trauma from residential schools — are a critically important part of the local mental health landscape. Health Sciences Centre Winnipeg provides major institutional mental health resources, with a private practice community serving River Heights, St. Vital, and St. Boniface. Winnipeg's working-class and multicultural character shapes a therapy culture that values pragmatism, community belonging, and directness.
