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 originally subscribed only for Insomnia & Sleep problems, but within the first two weeks of CBT, my therapist and I still haven’t even discussed CBTi “for Insomnia”, as he was able to help me understand that Insomnia was largely just a symptom of a much more deep rooted mental health issue, mainly Anxiety. Buy focusing our efforts of the root problem, and learning methods to reduce my anxiety, I’ve been largely successful in improving my sleep within a short period of time — and to top it off I feel comforted knowing that this will be a long process, but fezivle and at a pace that suits my budget and needs. Highly recommend it!

* the only issue I’ve experienced so far has been technical difficulties which have taken up valuable time with my therapist."

"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."

"I have been using this service for a few weeks now and have found it very helpful. I've been having weekly sessions with Peggy and I am so grateful that I found her when I did, she has been unconditionally supportive during a very difficult time and has always been reassuring that she is just a message away when I need someone to talk things through with or just need some advice on anything. Thank you!"

"Never been in therapy before, but I'm loving my sessions with Dr. Annice Overall! She's empathetic, listens thoroughly, and offers excellent guidance and advice. It's only been a month, and I'm already seeing improvements to my mental state by following her suggestions. Definitely recommend!"
