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 came on here with a couple of issues that were affecting my relationships with my family and people around me and my fiance.
Though the worksheets and the helpful advice from my therapist on here from my responses I give her, I am moving forward and making positive strides to help with my issues. And will continue to move forward."

"I feel like I've always wanted to get therapy but never quite jumped on it until something happened and I really thought it was time. It was probably the best decision I've taken. I really enjoy the professionnalism that is shown through this platform. I am very satisfied with the services provided by online therapy and the flexibility that is provided to you as well. If you were ever thinking of getting therapy and wasn't sure, do it. This is honestly a great platform to do so as well."

"I can’t say enough good things about Bernadette. She’s my very first therapist, and I’ve been working with her for about a year now. From the beginning, she made me feel comfortable, supported, and truly heard. Therapy with her has helped me grow so much, and I honestly feel great compared to where I started. She’s thoughtful, kind, and incredibly helpful, and I’m so grateful I found her. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering therapy."

"I have been through multiple therapies related to a traumatic brain injury. I have only had one appointment so far but i am generally happy with the cost, ease of use, and perceived resources. I chose this program because i am uninsured and needed a reliable resource until i get insurance again."

"My therapist is amazing. She listens and provides constructive criticism when I need it. She breaks down my feelings and explanations of my experiences in terms that I understand and reinforces with a why or a how. I have never felt more comfortable sharing the uncomfortable and genuinely feeling better about myself after each session."
