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 was skeptical of using online therapy but the worksheets and online videos have been very helpful to work through and grow with what's going on in my past as well as working through my current issues. Thankful to find a therapist who can help me become the person i want to be."

"I had Lynn Hiscoe as my therapist over the past few months. She has helped me understand why I am who I am along with the guidance I needed to work on improving my relationship with my Wife. She has a very direct, no nonsense approach which I found to be very effective in leading me down the path to becoming more empathetic, kind, and compassionate. I would recommend Lynn to anyone looking for a great therapist!"

"My session with Marina was excellent.
She knows the best way for me to succeed in attaining my goals and we have discussed practical methods to achieve them. To be more specific, I want to be able to plan my classes for this school year which starts this October.
I usually wait until the night before. Obviously, I could enjoy what I am doing and have a better program for my students if I started earlier.
At our next meeting I will show her what I have done with the modalities we have discussed in class.
I feel better already.

Kind regards,
Sarah Sands"

"I came to Therapy 5 weeks ago with a relationship problem that I had spent years without a solution for. I had tried therapy twice before to no avail, but after my first session with Gina, I knew I had found the right therapist to help me through my problem. First and foremost, she emphasized that the turmoil I was struggling with was not something to be ashamed of and assured me that we would work through it together. Gina came to each session with helpful insights and ended each session with thoughtful takeaways. Her responses to my worksheets were detailed, impactful, and encouraging. Gina helped me arrive at a solution that I am confident in, but more importantly, it's a decision that feels like my own. 10/10 would recommend."
