Do you ever get frustrated with yourself for knowing what is healthy to eat, but then consuming the exact opposite?

Are you able to start a diet, but have trouble sticking with it?

Have you lost some weight in the past, only to have it come right back (and maybe even more)?

If so, the reason is not that you are weak or destined to be this weight forever. It has to do with how you lose weight.

You see, the first step to effective and long-term weight loss is not to address your eating, but rather to address your mind and why you eat the way you do. Factors that play a role include your self-image, everyday stress and negative emotions and behaviors.

Rather than focusing only on short-term diets, this program combines conventional weight management approaches with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies that address the thoughts and habits connected to eating. Through this process, you can begin to understand why you eat the way you do and what everyday situations may trigger overeating or unhealthy food choices. By developing healthier thinking patterns and behavioral strategies, many people are able to build sustainable habits that support long-term weight management.

Specifically, our therapy for weight problems is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With the help of CBT, you will learn to identify and challenge the automatic negative thoughts that cause your weight problems. Learning how to make permanent changes in your thinking will create permanent changes in your eating. You will be able to identify what situations trigger your unhealthy eating and learn new ways to deal with your emotions – instead of numbing them with food. With the help of your therapist, you will be able to incorporate healthy eating habits into your lifestyle. This will help you to reach your weight loss goal and to maintain your desired weight. You can do this, and we are here to assist you along the way!

"My therapist Tania is the best I've seen so far. Super patient, knowledgeable, and down to Earth. I'm excited to continue to work with her and get to know her, and myself, better.

It would be really nice if this service had an app. Doing sessions over mobile browser is ok, but the interface isn't always user friendly imo. Especially when my phone screen shuts off while I'm not paying attention and Tania doesn't hear the rant I've been on for the past 2 minutes haha.

Overall good service. Good provider. Needs an app."

"It took a few days to become adjusted to the website but once I became comfortable and familiar enough, I really started to enjoy it. I learned a lot within the first few days about “why” I think and react the way I do, and paying attention to my behavior has opened my eyes to so many things. I used to sit alone and wonder “what is wrong with me? Why do I think or act this way? What can I do to make it better?” I looked for answers in all the wrong places and couldn’t afford therapy out of pocket, until I was recommended to online-therapy. It’s affordable, I get to speak to my therapist more than I was previously, and everything is documented and recorded so I can always go back and review what I’ve already covered as a refresher. I didn’t enjoy therapy before, but this site has made it so much easier."

"Online therapy has been such a positive experience for me. My therapist, Angela, is absolutely amazing-kind, patient, and incredibly insightful. She has helped me learn practical tools to better manage stress, process emotions, and approach challenges with more confidence and clarity. The convenience of online sessions made it easy to stay consistent, and I’ve truly seen growth in myself because of our work together. I’m so grateful for the support and guidance Angela has provided."
