How We Can Help

One important concept of our weight management program is that permanent changes in behavior require changes in thinking. We help patients lose weight and keep it off by teaching them to think more like Adult Me and less like Little Me or Critical Me. 

After only a few sessions, many patients report a reduction in unhealthy behaviors, prolonged sessions at the gym to 'compensate' for overeating, for example, which tend to maintain their sabotaging, Little Me or Critical Me thoughts. 

How it Works

We offer a skills-based program to help patients assess the advantages of weight loss and behavioral change, select a sensible diet and exercise routine, confront emotional eating, and prepare their environment so it is more compatible with their lifestyle. 

The majority of this treatment is centered on setting specific goals for yourself and remaining accountable for achieving these goals. This treatment may occur concurrently with treatment for other issues depending on your particular needs.
