Obesity Therapists in Montgomery, AL

Weight and body concerns are often shaped by emotional, relational, and societal factors—not just behavior. I take a non-shaming, holistic approach that explores your relationship with food, body, and self. Together, we focus on sustainable changes, self-compassion, and overall well-being rather than quick fixes or rigid rules.

Once traumatic and/o otherwise upsetting life stimuli are desensitized and specific fears are counteracted can work on reducing unwanted cravings for specific foods using EMDR therapy, improving weight control.

I do not use the word “obese,” as it is rooted in stigma and can be deeply offensive. Instead, I recognize that bodies naturally come in a wide range of shapes and sizes—from small to large—and that much of the suffering people experience is caused by cultural shame and fat phobia, not by body size itself. My work draws on IFS, Health at Every Size (HAES), Attuned Eating, Body Trust, mindfulness, and narrative therapy to help clients reduce shame, build body trust, and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves. I provide diagnostic clarity when concerns about body size intersect with mood or eating disorders.

Montgomery is Alabama's state capital and a city with profound civil rights significance — the birthplace of the bus boycott, home to the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church, and site of the National Memorial for Peace and Justice — and this history creates a distinctive clinical context in which racial identity, community trauma, and intergenerational resilience are active themes. The city has a majority Black population and a state government workforce, generating therapy demand that spans from the particular stresses of public service careers to the cultural and emotional dimensions of living in a place where the history of racism is physically present. Baptist Health and Jackson Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community. Alabama State University and Faulkner University contribute to the local training ecosystem, and the city's strong faith community means spiritually integrated therapy is an important part of the local offering.
