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 like that it is online and you don’t have to drive to a real-world establishment. You can work at your own pace, rather than be obligated to work at someone else’s pace. The tools are helpful and easy to navigate. The worksheets make it easy to express."

"Where I am, therapy is really expensive as well as inaccessible. With online therapy, not only is it a more affordable option, but it's also with a therapist I really grew to enjoy and benefit from my sessions with her. Would recommend, especially if you were in a similar position as me."

"I appreciate how the worksheets ask valuable questions and the responses I get from my therapist in addition to the sessions we have. However I think it would be useful to have options for answering the questions more times in order to bring up other topics. I have also enjoyed the support I receive from my therapist during our sessions."

"I've almost finished my first month and feel very positive about how things are going. I particularly enjoyed the worksheets which my therapist can review and feedback on. It gives us plenty to discuss in the video calls if there's not something I specifically want to choose to discuss. Marisa my therapist, is really good to talk to and gives me a lot of hope for developing and a happier future being myself. The messaging side of the therapy is great, I always receive very considered and detailed responses to anything I have asked or mentioned. I would recommend this platform to anybody needing someone to talk to or feel they need support."

"I love the questionnaires and how you can go at your own pace, no forcing to complete anything in time, yet you get supported if you need it."

"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)."
