Obesity
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.

Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Weight concerns can be emotionally complex and may involve stress, shame, body image, health concerns, trauma, mood, eating patterns, and self-worth. Therapy can help you explore your relationship with food, movement, body, and coping without judgment. The focus is on sustainable change, self-compassion, and supporting your overall well-being.

Obesity
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.

Online in Barrie, ON
Barrie is a city on Kempenfelt Bay of Lake Simcoe north of Toronto that has become one of Ontario's fastest-growing communities as families and professionals seek more affordable housing within commuting distance of the city, and the resulting rapid growth has created both rising demand for therapy and the particular challenges of a community still building its social infrastructure. Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre provides hospital-based mental health services, and Georgian College contributes to the local supply of trained counsellors through its health and wellness programs. The proximity to Muskoka cottage country and year-round outdoor recreation options give the city a quality-of-life appeal, though cold winters and long commutes to Toronto are among the stressors residents bring to therapy. Common therapy concerns include commuter stress, relocation and transition challenges, seasonal affective disorder, and the pressures of family life in a rapidly changing community.
