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!

"After using this site for around 2 months now, I can 100% recommend it to anyone trying to get better, I like that it feels like constant support with the ability to message, do worksheets and have live sessions with the therapist. I have felt a change in my mentality since the first session and I feel even when my anxiety can increase, I feel supported and able to get out of the rut sooner."

"I was always reluctant to seek any kind of help with my depression and anxiety but I am so thankful to God that I did this. It has truly led to an incredible transformation. Every day that I have applied these lessons and new ways of thinking I feel more and more like myself. Things are not 100% better but they are certainly looking better and that’s a wonderful place to be."

"Dr. Cannady has been so helpful in helping me recognize the negative responses I have to stressful situations and helping me reframe my reactions. I also find the worksheets are very helpful in making me stop to think about how I assess stressful situations and how I can better interpret and respond to what is happening. I am glad I took this step to invest in myself."
