Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapists (RP) and Registered Social Workers (RSW, MSW)
Weight and body-related concerns can be connected with self-esteem, body image, emotional well-being, relationships, eating patterns, stress, and experiences of stigma. Our therapists provide compassionate, non-shaming support focused on the whole person rather than a number on a scale. Therapy can help clients explore emotional patterns, strengthen self-compassion, and develop a healthier relationship with themselves and their bodies.

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Obesity is linked with mental health. People who are affected by obesity may be experiencing depression, anxiety, eating disorder. But it is very hard to find out who came first – obesity or mental health. Psychotherapy help pays a major role in treating obesity.

Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Weight concerns are often intertwined with stress, emotional eating, shame, trauma, sleep, and identity—not just “discipline.” Therapy supports sustainable behavior change by focusing on nervous system regulation, self-compassion, and the real drivers behind patterns. The aim is respectful health-focused change, not punishment.

Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
Struggling with weight or obesity can affect not only physical health but also emotional wellbeing, self-esteem, and daily life. It can be accompanied by feelings of frustration, guilt, or shame, and sometimes it feels like efforts to change aren’t enough.
In therapy, I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore your relationship with your body, food, and habits. Together, we focus on developing healthier coping strategies, building self-compassion, and creating sustainable approaches that support both your emotional and physical wellbeing.

Kingston is a historic Ontario city at the junction of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, home to Queen's University—one of Canada's leading universities—the Royal Military College of Canada, and an unusually high concentration of federal correctional institutions, which together shape a distinctive community with university, military, and criminal justice populations all coexisting in a relatively small city. Queen's University's student mental health services are a major resource, and the Royal Military College's close-knit military community creates specific needs around service identity, transition, and trauma. The correctional sector workforce—correctional officers, administrators, and support staff at Kingston's several federal penitentiaries—faces unique occupational stress and trauma exposure that is an important dimension of the local mental health landscape. Common therapy concerns include student wellbeing and academic pressure at Queen's, military identity and transition, correctional sector occupational trauma, anxiety, depression, and the identity challenges of a city with an unusually complex and layered community character.
