Weight Loss Therapists in North York, ON
All the empathy and therapy I offer helps you answer one key weight loss question: "How will this time be different and work long-term?" I return all communications in one day.
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 continue to work in private practice, treating individuals and couples in the following areas: stress, anxiety, depression, relationship counselling, fertility and weight loss.
People experience challenges in their lives that are sometimes difficult to work through alone. Together we can make sense of it, and achieve a healthier, happier life. By providing a safe and empathic space, you can explore those challenges currently in your life. My approach to each session is to be with you, through truly listening, providing a judgement-free environment, respectful challenge, and mutual participation throughout the therapeutic process. As a team, you and I will process the emotional, cognitive, physical, familial, and spiritual factors impacting your life, and preventing you from achieving your goals.

Anxiety is a mode of being, our call for growth. We find ourselves in a world and relate to our surroundings through desire and care. Within the frame of our cultural conditioning, we tend to invest in people and things that foster attachments. Out of these attachments and the desire to pursue the sort of happiness that we are conditioned to thrive for emerges a sense of dependency that often deprives us of the opportunity to actualize our true potentials.

My ideal client is willing to engage in self-reflection, explore the deeper existential issues related to his/her predicament, and discover the pathways of actualizing his/her potential and dream. Such a client can be a new college graduate struggling for a better understanding of her self-identity or a senior questioning his life's meaning. The issues I am best suited to addressing are both the dark sides of the human condition-such as depression, anxiety, anger, loss, suffering, and death-and the bright sides of personal growth and flourishing.

Therapy for adults and children; Couple therapy. Face-to-face and online sessions are possible. Humanistic approach, focusing on the feelings, exploring the thoughts. Whatever are your feelings - they are reasonable and important. A therapeutic dialog is a main but not only technique I use: we may draw, play the music instruments, play "make-believe", metaphorically use different items, and even dance. It helps you achieve a new level of awareness. The better you understand yourself the better you manage your life challenges, the more mindful are your decisions and actions. While talking we explore your own resources.
