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!

"I actually like sitting down and reading through or even listening to the video talk. You can get a lot of tools out of this prgram that if you ever did use it will refresh you or even if it something you’ve never heard of… give it a try you might like the outcome"

"I honestly didn't have many expectations going into online therapy and was open to where it would take me but reflecting on it – understanding that one's therapist relationship takes time to build – it's incredible to have found someone who is professional and genuinely seems to care and wants to develop that growth with you. It's still a work in progress but Online-Therapy seems to make it as frictionless as they can."

"Our therapist created an environment where difficult issues could be discussed openly and where both people had an opportunity to express their feelings and perspectives. I never felt that the therapist's role was to simply tell us who was right or wrong. Instead, the process helped bring communication patterns, unresolved issues, and underlying feelings to the surface.
In my case, counseling ultimately gave me something I desperately needed: clarity."

"The help and support I have received from my counselor has really helped me take account of what is going on in my life. The combination of worksheets and live sessions have made a difference in showing me ways to better my thought processes and enhance my day to day life."
