Elka Cubacub
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
There is so much judgment and shame around weight in our society, even within the medical field. If you struggle with your weight, you may have been told you lack willpower or been judged as lazy. In reality, people who try to lose weight often work harder than most can imagine, and yet dieting is notoriously ineffective. Most diets are destined to fail because our bodies are designed to resist food deprivation. Instead of focusing on dieting, our work centers on your day-to-day relationship with food—what, when, and how you eat, how those behaviors feel in your body, and what drives them, whether hunger, emotion, comfort, or the impact of diet culture and shame. As we explore this, you begin to find a way of relating to food and your body that feels natural and sustainable, one that honors your body’s unique needs rather than conforming to externally imposed ideals.

Hannah Benedetti
Psychologist, PsyD
When working with obesity and body image struggles, I focus on exploring the protective roles of eating behaviors and self-criticism through IFS. Alongside this, mindfulness and CBT strategies help build healthier habits, compassion, and a more balanced relationship with your body.

Christina Fay, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Treatment for weight issues is often a part of many other mental health diagnosis that decrease physical activity, impact self-control, or result in avoidance. However, obesity can often occur for many other reasons outside of one's control. As a part of health treatments we investigate the underlying conditions, history of management, and often times work with the advice of your medical team to help determine what a healthy body means/will look like for you. Weight loss is not always the main focus and can often times come with negative short and long term consequences if done in an unhealthy way.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
It is widely accepted that weight loss, eating disorders, and anxiety are all issues that hypnosis is successful at dealing with. All have their root in emotional issues and the habitual way people see themselves and their lives. Research shows that most people who are grossly overweight have suffered some trauma in their lives leading them to holding on to excess weight and no amount of dieting will permanently change that without resolving those past traumas and changing habits and relationship with food. I see many such clients in my practice and we are able to find them healing and moving on to healthier lifestyle. While we work on the emotional roots of eating problems, it is possible to do hypnotic Gastric Band therapy which works exactly like the real Gastric band but without the painful and expensive surgery. We can set a limit beyond which you feel full and can't eat any more.
