Weight Loss
Sanofer Ansari
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MACP
Approach: CBT, emotion-focused therapy, motivational interviewing-informed and mindfulness-based strategies.
I explore the emotional and behavioural factors that may influence eating, activity, motivation, and weight-related goals. Therapy may address emotional eating, stress, self-esteem, body image, habits, and all-or-nothing thinking while helping clients develop realistic and sustainable behavioural changes. The focus is on overall well-being rather than shame or appearance alone.

I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore your relationship with food, body, and self—working together to foster lasting, compassionate change that aligns with your well-being.

Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Weight loss can be emotionally complicated and may involve stress, body image, eating patterns, motivation, shame, health concerns, or self-worth. Therapy can help you explore the emotional and behavioural patterns connected to food, movement, and self-care. The goal is to support sustainable change without judgment, pressure, or shame.

Markham is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities in North America, with Chinese residents making up the largest share of the population and a significant South Asian minority, creating a therapy community with unusually strong demand for Mandarin-, Cantonese-, and Punjabi-speaking practitioners. The city is a major technology hub — home to Canadian headquarters for IBM, AMD, and dozens of other multinationals — generating consistent demand for therapists who work with high-performance workplace stress, burnout, and the particular identity pressures of first-generation professionals navigating career expectations between cultures. Markham Stouffville Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while many residents also access care through the broader Toronto metro therapy ecosystem. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains an important context for therapists, who often find themselves helping clients normalize therapy alongside the clinical work.
