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.

Forget ineffective diets that last a few months. Get into a program where you will engage in using conventional weight loss methods combined with cognitive behavior therapy strategies to guide you out of those negative thinking habits and behavioral patterns that cause your weight problems. This program helps you become aware of why you eat the way you do and what everyday situations trigger you to over-eat or eat the wrong types of food. This will allow you to lose weight, and to keep it off over the long term.

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!

"When I first signed up, I selected all the things I needed help with, and for some reason I got matched with someone unqualified - she stated she cant "help with several of my *issues*". I decided to switch and give the program another chance even though that rubbed me the wrong way, and I'm glad it was just her. My therapist is sweet, and she understands the uniqueness of the things I talk to her about, and she tells me what's important in situations - not just taking my side. It's awesome and it's refreshing for both my partner and I to know I have someone who will tell me when I'm valid and when even the things I find difficult are valid as well."

"I had to do some searching for a therapist who I felt listened to me and gave thoughtful feedback, but once I found them, the therapy has been so rewarding. I have learned so much about myself and my therapist always leaves me with something to think about. I recommend this platform to everyone I'm close to."

"When I stalled out working with a traditional therapist, I thought I'd try this.

It's been very helpful to give awareness of the actual messages in my head, and how to answer/counter them.

Now, instead of talking over and over about how my childhood experiences cause me problems, I have some tools to help move beyond them. Thank you!"
