Krishe Kugan is a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW). She holds a Master’s degree in Social Work (MSW) from the University of Windsor and an Honours Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from York University. Krishe is committed to creating a compassionate, collaborative, and non-judgmental therapeutic space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported. Her approach is not about quick fixes but rather about working together to understand what is being carried, uncover patterns, and build a life that feels more aligned, authentic, and sustainable.

Krishe works with individuals seeking support for eating disorders, including mild to moderate anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. She integrates Enhanced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT-E), an evidence-based and widely recognized treatment model, to help clients build sustainable, balanced relationships with food, body image, and emotional experiences. Her approach thoughtfully addresses both the behavioural patterns and the deeper cognitive processes that maintain disordered eating.

In addition, Krishe provides dedicated support for the bariatric population, offering psychoeducation and therapeutic counselling to guide individuals through the emotional and psychological adjustments that often accompany significant body changes. Her work emphasizes sustainable change, self-compassion, and empowerment.

Beyond these areas, Krishe supports clients experiencing emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, caregiver burnout, and life transitions. Her practice draws from strength-based, solution-focused, relational, and trauma-informed approaches, incorporating strategies from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) to help clients regulate emotions, build resilience, and strengthen relationships.

Krishe’s work is grounded in a relational and collaborative therapeutic framework that values connection to the self, the body, and the broader social context. She creates a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients are encouraged to move through the healing process at a pace that feels safe and empowering, supporting meaningful, long-term change.
