Weight Loss
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.

Together we create a space where you can safely and effectively work towards your wellness goals and make positive changes in your life. This may involve talking things through, processing and making sense of difficult experiences, addressing unhelpful thought or behaviour patterns, or establishing more effective coping mechanisms. Every client's journey is unique. My role is to support you in this process by being a neutral, non-judgemental resource.

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 who want to lose weight 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.

Nora Taylor, MA, RP
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology 1994
Weight gain can affect our sense of self and how we feel about ourselves. It's important to visit your doctor to rule out any medical reason; it also can involve developing a healthy lifestyle that supports your goals; as I am writing I realize it is not always so simple; can involve past losses, trauma, depression.
