Prudence Leung
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), MA in Counselling Psychology
I have experience working with young adults who have experienced difficulty with their body image and weight. Issues could include, but are not limited to, navigating through unexpected weight gain; struggling with body image/appearance; and relationship with food. Although I have more of a holistic therapeutic approach with working with various issues, my approach when working with clients who have experienced issues with their body image and weight tends to lean towards a combination of an acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), and person-centred therapy approach.
A positive therapeutic relationship with each client is crucial, in my opinion, and this is what I aim to develop with all of my clients in order to help them identify and understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. This is an important step before we can begin the process of working together to create long-lasting change.
Therapy is a collaborative process. This may be the very first time that you are considering therapy, or you have may tried therapy in your past, but either way, I am here to work with you on your goals in a non-judgemental environment. This will allow for you to explore various barriers that may be preventing you from regaining control of your life. If you would like to set up an initial free 15-minute consultation with me, please feel free to contact me.

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.

Ekum Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Achieving weight loss is a journey that involves a combination of healthy eating, regular physical activity, and lifestyle changes. It's not just about cutting calories; it's about nourishing your body with the right nutrients and making sustainable choices. Incorporating whole foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains can help you feel full and satisfied while still losing weight. Regular exercise, whether through cardio, strength training, or simply staying active throughout the day, is also crucial for burning calories and improving overall health. Remember, weight loss is a personal journey, and it's important to set realistic goals and be patient with yourself. Celebrate small victories along the way and seek support when needed, whether from friends, family, or professionals. Embracing this process can lead to not just a healthier weight, but also a healthier mindset and lifestyle.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Clinical M.S.W.
In my experience, untreated mental illness, stress and social media can contribute and cause weight loss or gain. A discussion around managing stress, mindful eating and reducing muscle tension, would be reccommended to bring balance back for individuals.

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.
