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!

"It is a nice done journey, going section after section, and revealing more and more about your own thoughts and self. I was a kind of confused with the layout - each time going not to my worksheets but to the explanations how it works instead."

"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 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"
