Obesity
Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Weight and health are influenced by a complex combination of biological, emotional, social, and environmental factors—not simply willpower. People living with obesity may also experience emotional eating, body-image distress, shame, weight stigma, anxiety, or discouragement after repeated attempts to change.
I offer respectful, weight-sensitive therapy focused on emotional well-being rather than judgment. Together, we identify triggers, reduce shame, strengthen self-compassion, and develop sustainable coping and self-care practices. When appropriate, therapy can complement care from physicians, dietitians, and other healthcare professionals while honoring your dignity, autonomy, and individual health goals.
