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.

Rather than focusing only on short-term diets, this program combines conventional weight management approaches with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies that address the thoughts and habits connected to eating. Through this process, you can begin to understand why you eat the way you do and what everyday situations may trigger overeating or unhealthy food choices. By developing healthier thinking patterns and behavioral strategies, many people are able to build sustainable habits that support long-term weight management.

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 am 50 and have had many many therapists, counsellors, psychologists... throughout my life, and they were never effective or tuned into my specific issues. I have walked out of sessions because the "help" was just so unhelpful. After one month of seeing my therapist here I have learned more and gotten more help than I ever have before. My therapist is the most amazing person who not only makes me feel comfortable and seen, but gives me the most effective advice and homework I have ever had. I have progressed more in this past month with her than I ever have with anyone else. I am just so overjoyed with my decision to try therapy here. I will never go anywhere else for my mental health support."

"The tools are very helpful, the website is organized, the sessions are incredible. This online service made therapy accessible to me, since I live in a foreign country, and couldn't find (affordable) help in English."

"I actually like sitting down and reading through or even listening to the video talk. You can get a lot of tools out of this prgram that if you ever did use it will refresh you or even if it something you’ve never heard of… give it a try you might like the outcome"

"I was hesitant to start therapy online, but I decided to give it a go and I'm absolutely in love with the experience. The website is very well put together, I particuarly enjoy the text exchange with my therapist (Who is beyond amazing at her work), I feel like thise medium of communication allows me to really dive deep into my thoughts and feelings, and the live sessions become an exciting, supportive part of the process rather than me trying to fit all the complexity of my world into a 45 min weekly session.

100% recommend, I myself will keep using the service for as long as I can afford it (and it is very affordable, especially for the ammount of help I'm getting out of it)."
