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!

"I found online-therapy through an extensive internet search. online-therapy seemed to provide the services I wanted with consistant positive reviews, and the price was more competitive than some of the ones I had already heard about.

I signed up and was pleased t see I qualified for a temporary discount due to my financial situation.

My subscription includes one 45 min session with the therapist i was paired with, Karen Coupe (LPC). Our sessions have been helpful. She is kind and very easy to talk to, she listens to all I have to say, sifts through it all and offers suggestions, advice and even explinations as to what might be causing certin things. She asks additional questions additional questions to better understand and follows up on topics we discuss.

She responds to messages and worksheet entries in a very timely manner.
I use the worksheets and am catching up on the videos. I plan to start using the activities calendar and yoga as I get more involved in my therapy journey.

I am very happy with my decision to subscribe to online-therapy.

Video sessions work on my laptop and my cellphone.

Online-therapy sends me reminders for scheduled appointments and offers outlets for me to give feedback.

I am so happy I decided to start my journey with this program and can imagine a brighter future for the first time in a long time"

"I have been doing online therapy for 2 weeks now. I am already noticing that I am more aware of how I am feeling, and I have addressed more tough situations than I have before. I am also process past issues with and without the help of my online therapist. If you are considering starting I would highly recommend it for everyone. If you don't notice any change you can always cancel. Admitting you have a problem is the first step to a better you! Simply by looking at reviews for therapy services you are taking the first steps to becoming a better you."

"The sessions and the worksheets have been really helpful for me. The worksheets give me things to consider and really be thoughtful about, as well as keep me accountable so I don't just fall into the routine of "it's fine, it's fine" and then do nothing. And the sessions as follow up have been great for me to talk through things that came up from doing the worksheets. So there's kind of a pause-and-think, and then discuss-and-feel approach to the program that works well for me. It's only been a few weeks, but I appreciate what I've learned and am tuning into, even in this short time."

"This was a fantastic program that helped me learn a lot of things about myself and why I was neglecting issues that were causing problems in my life. My therapist Steffani was absolutely awesome. She worked with me to help ME work out the issues with a really amazing combination of insight, empathy and the right dose of firmness. The content and exercises were almost all valuable to me. Even though I had a very specific issue going on, which made some of the content not applicable to me, just seeing it helped me challenge myself on many different areas I had not even considered. I highly recommend this service for a concentrated 4-week program to get the train back on track. I feel like I have the tools now to keep it there."
