Obesity
Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Often linked to anxiety and mood disorders, it’s difficult to determine whether obesity is the cause or the effect. Regardless, obesity can impact not only one’s physical health, but can be detrimental to one’s social life and self-esteem. Through inner-child work we will work inside out by first evoking self-compassion, then comes connection to the body (with the mind and soul). Through connection, we will learn to make changes by knowing what changes need to be made or how to accept and love our body for how it is. And just like that, sometimes acceptance is the biggest change of all.

Obesity
Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my approach to supporting clients dealing with obesity, I blend a compassionate understanding of the emotional and psychological dimensions of weight with practical strategies for change. By integrating holistic methods such as Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I create a personalized plan that addresses both the mind and body. This tailored approach helps clients uncover underlying emotional triggers, improve self-esteem, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Through our work together, we explore lifestyle changes that support physical health, while also addressing the psychological factors that contribute to obesity. My goal is to empower clients to make sustainable changes, fostering a positive relationship with food and exercise, and ultimately, achieving a balanced and healthy life. For individuals seeking support in their journey toward weight management and overall wellness, I am committed to providing a nurturing and supportive environment to explore, grow, and succeed.
