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!

"Website works well, though some of the worksheets I feel like can be too long or don't feel applicable to my specific scenario (feels like they have to do a one-size fits all) and would appreciate more of some kind of thing built by my individual therapist."

"I have greatly appreciated this program, and I've seen improvement in my life and how I approach my problems and emotions.
I've done therapy multiple times in the past but nothing really stuck, but this time was different. I think this is due to the fact that there are many activities where you have to sit down and work through on your own (with feedback from your therapist), and therefore this has made me feel like I am truly taking action to improve my life.
The live sessions too have been very pleasant, sometimes it is very hard to untangle your thoughts on your own, so guidance from a therapist was greatly appreciated.
Everything is clear, understandable, and useful."

"I've almost finished my first month and feel very positive about how things are going. I particularly enjoyed the worksheets which my therapist can review and feedback on. It gives us plenty to discuss in the video calls if there's not something I specifically want to choose to discuss. Marisa my therapist, is really good to talk to and gives me a lot of hope for developing and a happier future being myself. The messaging side of the therapy is great, I always receive very considered and detailed responses to anything I have asked or mentioned. I would recommend this platform to anybody needing someone to talk to or feel they need support."

"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."

"Ms. Tyi is an amazing therapist. So glad I was paired with her. I was so worried about the possibility of being paired with someone who I cannot relate to, since this is my first time trying out therapy in general. She is relateable, likeable and wonderful overall. Her approach is kind,understanding and comforting. Highly recommend her."
