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 have used several other platforms in the past, as well as tried face to face therapy, but nothing ever motivated my to stay. I tried this platform and found the best, ever therapist. She has been super kind, empathetic, calming, caring. I have only had 5 sessions with her and for the first time, I want to continue. I can only recommend this platform, and Sylvie. This has helped me immensely going through the worst thing that has happened to me, so far."

"I am very pleased with the progress I have made in my mental health journey. I feel fortunate to have conducted the research that led me to Online-Therapy.com, where I began working with my therapist, Mrs. Nkosi.

Mrs. Nkosi is an exceptional professional and an attentive listener who remains dedicated to my personal growth and development. It is evident that she entered this field out of a genuine desire to help others. I am highly satisfied with my experience thus far and am confident that this therapy will continue to support my transformation."
