Private Psychotherapy
Our psychotherapists at the High Metabolic Clinic support individuals in addressing the complex emotional and behavioural factors influencing their health, habits and weight.
Our psychotherapists aim to empower individuals by providing evidence-based tools and strategies to navigate mental health challenges, create sustainable changes, and improve overall well-being and resilience.
Key focus areas include:
Mood Disorders
Managing conditions such as anxiety, depression, and mood fluctuations, which often contribute to overeating, reduced physical activity, or inconsistent health behaviours. Therapy helps individuals develop coping skills, build emotional resilience, and create healthier thought patterns that support their wellness journey.
Behavioral Activation
Encouraging clients to engage in meaningful activities that promote well-being, improve mood, and disrupt cycles of avoidance or inactivity. Behavioural activation supports the development of routines that align with personal values and health goals, enhancing long-term motivation.
Disordered Eating
Providing therapeutic strategies for addressing challenges like binge eating, emotional eating, restrictive dieting, and body image struggles. Psychotherapy focuses on understanding and modifying eating patterns, cultivating a healthier relationship with food, and improving self-acceptance.
Low Motivation and Self-Compassion
Helping individuals navigate feelings of low energy, motivation, or frustration commonly associated with long-term weight management. Therapists work to foster resilience, break goals into achievable steps, and incorporate self-compassion practices to combat negative self-talk and perfectionism.
Adult ADHD and Weight Management
Many individuals with ADHD face unique challenges related to impulsivity, inattentiveness, and difficulties with routine, which can impact eating behaviors, exercise, and health outcomes. Therapy provides tailored strategies, including skills training, mindfulness techniques, and practical tools to manage ADHD symptoms in a way that supports sustainable health changes.
By integrating psychotherapy with the clinic’s medical and nutritional frameworks, our team addresses the multifaceted nature of obesity.
The High Metabolic Clinic provides a supportive and non-judgmental environment where clients can explore underlying challenges, build skills, and take actionable steps toward achieving their health and wellness goals.

Margo Green
RP(Q), BA
Margo is a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario as well as a certified counsellor with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.
A graduate of Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, PA and Yorkville University, where she completed her Master's of Arts in Counselling Psychology, Margo has also completed the holistic nutritionist diploma program through the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition.
As a teenager, Margo had her own personal struggles with food and eating. A combination of support from family, therapy, group and dietician interventions contributed to long term recovery.
Currently as a psychotherapist, Margo applies principles of self-compassion, mindfulness and dialectical behaviour therapy. She also works with cognitive behavioural therapy skills and tools. Therapy with Margo encourages self-compassion, emotional regulation and improved body image.
Margo also supports clients by helping them pause to gain a better understanding of any self-defeating thoughts, emotions and behavioural patterns and how these impact their food and lifestyle choices.
Mindfulness and other skills from dialectical behaviour therapy are used to support the process of improving one's self-awareness. Mindfulness is also shown to lower stress levels, making it less likely to reach out to cope with self-destructive habits.
Working with individuals to support overall lifestyle changes is at the heart of Margo's therapy. Pausing and being curious about thoughts and feelings and how they impact behaviour, can help us make the specific changes to reach weight loss and wellness goals.
It can feel impossible to prioritize self-care and wellness while juggling a busy family and work life. Armed with compassion, commitment and curiosity, we can work together to find a way!
