Weight Loss
Jennifer Cain
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you have tried repeatedly to lose weight and have not been successful, there may be an underlying issue that needs to be addressed. Weight loss treatment is a little different for each person. Some people find success through a combination of behavior changes that work for them. Others may also need to work through issues such as fears or previous trauma that are contributing to the excess weight. Learning to change the way you think about yourself and your health takes time but is worth the effort. The right support can make the process easier and more successful. If your child needs to lose weight, I can work with you to help and support your child.

Weight Loss
Alexander Fidelman
Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Unhealthy eating habits are generally developed as a way to distract from negative emotions and/or self-medicate and/or to gain control.
5-PATH (The Five Phase Advanced Transformational Hypnotherapy) is a comprehensive way to address and release all negative emotions, perceptions and change the inner programs (early life negative beliefs and subconscious decisions) that trigger those emotions and perceptions. It is a also a powerful way to change habits and behaviors by coding in specific behavioral patterns directly into the subconscious mind.

Gainesville is home to the University of Florida, one of the largest universities in the United States by enrollment, and the city's character and mental health landscape are overwhelmingly shaped by this—a huge, young student population with significant academic, social, and identity-related mental health needs, supported by one of Florida's most comprehensive university counseling systems. UF Health Shands Hospital provides one of the state's strongest behavioral health services, making Gainesville an important regional resource for psychiatric care across north Florida. The population dynamic creates a city that is both progressive and college-town oriented, surrounded by a more rural north Florida context, and therapists in Gainesville work across a wide range of populations and presenting concerns. Common therapy concerns include academic stress, identity development, anxiety, substance use, young adult life transitions, and the particular challenges of a college community navigating mental health support often for the first time.
