Toronto Psychotherapy Space (TPS Therapy)
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.

Shannon Kane
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, and Counsellor RP, C.R.P.O, H.B.A, M.A.C.P
Struggling with body image, emotional eating, or self-esteem related to weight can be an emotional burden. I provide a non-judgmental and compassionate approach to help clients explore the underlying emotional connections to food, self-worth, and body image. Using self-compassion therapy, somatic awareness, and cognitive restructuring, I work with individuals to shift unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and cultivate self-acceptance. My goal is to help clients separate self-worth from appearance, build confidence, and foster a positive relationship with their body and overall well-being.

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.

As a certified intuitive eating counselor and psychotherapist, I am dedicated to helping you get to the root of your dysfunctional relationship with food and movement in a compassionate and empathic way. I place precedence on making peace with all foods and helping you to respect your body at any size. I follow the Health at Every Size perspective and help clients advocate for themselves in this way.

Thunder Bay is a northwestern Ontario city that functions as the primary urban centre and service hub for a vast region of the Canadian Shield, and it has one of the highest urban Indigenous populations of any Canadian city—both permanent residents and individuals who travel hundreds of miles from remote reserves to access healthcare, education, and services. The city has faced significant challenges with Indigenous youth mental health and suicide, violence, and the mental health impacts of colonization and intergenerational trauma from residential schools, and these concerns are central to the local mental health landscape. Lakehead University's Indigenous studies programs contribute to a growing body of decolonized mental health approaches, and regional services work to address significant unmet need. Common therapy concerns include Indigenous trauma and intergenerational residential school effects, geographic isolation, substance use, depression, and the complex grief of a community navigating both the legacy of colonial harm and ongoing racism and marginalization.
