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!

"The difference between who is was before I started online-therapy and who I am today is night and day. I have my life back and it’s all thanks to Dr. Evans and this site. There’s no therapy experience, including in person, that’s given me what this platform has."

"So far I have been very happy with the service. I think it's great value for the money. My therapist has always responded with 24 hours and is always helpful with her responses. I also enjoy working with the worksheets at my own pace when I have the time."

"I love this platform! There are so many ways to write and express yourself and have your therapist respond. The worksheets help identify the areas where you need the most clarification. Daily written contact helps greatly as you progress and having a therapist respond sooner than just a once a week live session makes a big difference."

"So far so good! The tools and resources feel aligned with where I am at currently and I believe this will be a very positive step in my healing and growth. It's affordable so that's a big plus! And my therapist has an early morning schedule that aligns with my daily structure."
