Dr. Mitchell Roth
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, JD, PsyD, LMHC

Treatment of obesity is complex and the subject of my doctoral project. I have published a book on the topic entitled "Obesity. A Weighty Problem & The Cure" under my nom de plume, Dr. Mitch

Psychologist, Ph.D. Clinical Psychology, M.S. Health Psychology, M.A. Clinical Psychology, PSYPACT Providers
We provide evidence-based treatment for individuals navigating obesity and weight-related health concerns, drawing on health psychology principles to support sustainable behavior change and overall wellness. Our approach focuses on the complex interplay of emotional, behavioral, environmental, and physiological factors that influence eating, activity, and health habits. Through psychotherapy, clients develop practical skills for improving self-regulation, addressing emotional eating, building healthier routines, and strengthening motivation.

Michael Berry
Psychologist, PhD
My work with obesity takes a comprehensive health psychology approach, recognizing that weight is influenced by a complex interplay of biological, psychological, behavioral, and environmental factors. Using evidence-based cognitive behavioral and biopsychosocial approaches, I help patients develop sustainable strategies for behavior change, address barriers to healthy habits, and navigate the emotional and psychological challenges that can accompany weight management; I also provide psychological evaluations for patients considering bariatric surgery, with a focus on readiness, expectations, and long-term success.
