Celebrating International No Diet Day Across Waterloo & Wellington!

Today is International No Diet Day, and the Waterloo Wellington Eating Disorder Coalition has been out in our community! We’ve partnered with local businesses across our region to display messages of body neutrality, enjoyment, and health without restriction.

Keep an eye out for these posters in your favorite local shops! Our goal is to remind everyone that health doesn't have a "look" and that your body deserves respect exactly as it is today.

✨ JOIN THE MOVEMENT: If you spot one of our posters while you're out and about, snap a photo and tag us! We’d love to see where these messages are landing and celebrate the businesses supporting body positivity in our community.

Thankful for a wonderful morning in the heart of St. Jacobs! 🌿☕

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have been part of the "Morning of Connection & Insight" breakfast event hosted by Dreisinger Funeral Home.

It was such a pleasure to gather at Harvest Moon and connect with fellow professionals dedicated to supporting our senior community. I had the privilege of presenting on “The Emotional Landscape of Life Transitions,” exploring the complexities of navigating change with understanding and self-compassion.

Transitions aren’t just about the logistics of moving or aging—they are emotional journeys. Sharing these insights with such an engaged group was a lovely expereince.

Thank you to the team at Dreisinger Funeral Home for organizing such a thoughtful event and for the warm hospitality at Harvest Moon!

If you are looking for support during your life transitions, feel free to reach out to dana@cressmantherapy.com or 519-900-7022.

My new logo is finally making its social media debut! While it’s been a staple in my office for a while, I wanted to share the meaning behind it with all of you.

The flowing lines symbolize the balance between:

Mind: Finding clarity and calm.

Heart: Cultivating self-compassion.

Body: Learning to interpret the messages it provides.

When we integrate all three, we find our way back to ourselves. What do you think of the new look?

In psychotherapy, a theory of change explains how and why healing or personal growth happens. It guides what the therapist focuses on to help the client create meaningful, lasting change. Here is a brief description of my theory of change.
