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 can’t recommend Marisa highly enough. When I started therapy, I felt anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck in a cycle of overthinking. Marisa created such a supportive and understanding space where I felt genuinely heard and understood.
She helped me work through some difficult emotions and, most importantly, helped me recognise that my feelings were valid. Through our sessions, I gained clarity, confidence, and a much kinder perspective towards myself. What once felt like a whirlwind of thoughts became much easier to understand and navigate.
I’m leaving therapy feeling far more optimistic about the future and much more confident in the decisions I’m making. Marisa has played a huge part in helping me get to that place, and I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance, compassion, and insight."

"My experience with online-therapy has been invaluable to my anxiety recovery so far. Jenalee has been an active listener who has provided a safe place to be open and honest without judgment while also challenging and showing me how to reframe negative thought patterns. Thanks to her, I’ve been able to learn useful tools that have changed the way I approach my own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It’s surreal to see my life slowly changing for the better little by little each day and I couldn’t be more relieved to have received such empathetic and attentive guidance during my journey towards healing."

"I’ve been using this online therapy platform for about a month and it’s been a really positive experience. My therapist is attentive, professional, and gives me practical tools I can use in real life. The app makes it easy to schedule sessions and send messages between appointments. Overall, I feel more supported and clear‑headed than I did when I started, and I plan to keep using it."
