Obesity
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.

Obesity
Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Weight and obesity are often treated as simple issues of willpower, discipline, or appearance — but in reality, they can be deeply connected to trauma, neurodivergence, chronic pain, emotional regulation, burnout, hormones, shame, medical experiences, sensory needs, and the exhausting pressure of constantly feeling judged or “not enough.”
My approach goes beyond shame, blame, or generic advice. Together, we explore the deeper patterns that may be impacting your relationship with food, movement, motivation, self-worth, and your body while working toward more compassionate, realistic, and sustainable change.
This work is not just about weight. It is about understanding yourself more fully, reducing shame, reconnecting with your needs, and building a life and relationship with your body that feels more supportive, meaningful, and workable.

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.
