Weight Loss
Dr. Mitchell Roth
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, JD, PsyD, LMHC
Conventional responses to obesity are dieting, and in extreme circumstances, surgery. Neither gets to the cause of the compulsive over-eating which has led to obesity. Treatment of obesity is complex and the subject of my doctoral project. It is the subject of my book, "Obesity. Our Weighty Problem & the Cure," by Dr. Mitch.

Weight Loss
Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
Rapid Transformational Therapy is very effective at helping people with weight loss, because it approaches it from the angle that is most needed by the client. Whether that might be installing the desire for motivation to exercise, or stopping a habit of over-eating/ emotional eating, hypnotherapy is a helpful modality at finding the root cause. By looking at experiences from your past, negative beliefs are identified, specifically any that formed around weight, or a negative view of oneself. These beliefs are reframed and released in a compassionate way. New and beneficial messages are then made to the subconscious mind to help you create the changes that are needed to assist with weight reduction. A few check-ins and ongoing support will be available after the session(s).

Athens is home to the University of Georgia and has cultivated a reputation as one of the South's most vibrant college cities, with a legendary music scene—birthplace of R.E.M. and the B-52s—a strong arts community, and a progressive political culture that contrasts with the surrounding rural Georgia context, producing a city with a well-developed and diverse therapy landscape relative to its size. UGA's Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) is the primary mental health resource for the city's enormous student population, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves the broader community including university staff, the arts and music community, and permanent residents. The sharp economic inequality between the university and creative communities and the city's lower-income and Black neighborhoods is an important dimension of the mental health landscape, and therapists in Athens work across a wide range of economic and cultural contexts. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, creative community stress, identity and LGBTQ+ issues, racial equity, and the challenges of a city where prosperity and poverty exist in close proximity.
