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.

Tamara Daniszewski
Registered Social Worker, M.ED, MSW, RSW
Therapy for obesity is not about shame or quick fixes, but about understanding the emotional, behavioural and physical pieces of the puzzle. We help you develop a healthier relationship with food, body image and self-worth while exploring stress, trauma or patterns that influence health. You deserve kindness in your healing, not judgment.

Satvinder Khurme
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.

Kitchener — often referenced alongside Waterloo as part of the Waterloo Region — is at the center of Canada's most significant technology hub outside Toronto, home to the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University, and dozens of major tech startups and scale-ups, creating persistent demand for therapists who work with innovation-sector burnout, high-stakes career pressure, and the psychological costs of startup culture. The region's growing immigrant population from South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East adds cultural diversity to therapy demand that the private therapy community is still catching up to reflect. Grand River Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside an active private therapy community. Kitchener's rapid diversification — beyond its German-heritage Oktoberfest identity — shapes a dynamic and evolving therapy culture.
