Sherry Murray
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Obesity carries with it so much shame as our society likes to blame the victim, imagining it is all your poor choices that have caused this, and it has nothing to do with society pressures, our poor food supply, genetic differences, addiction tendencies, or all the other factors that seem to be forgotten when you are blamed. You need a place with no shame or blame but rather only a desire to understand if there are things in your life we can change, resolve, fix, or remove that may help you live your best life.

Obesity is very comin and is biologically the same as alcoholism. Although current weight loss drugs can help loose weight, the mental and spiritual effects of this addiction remain extent even with weight loss. Again, all clinicians are well versed in treating this problems.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I do not use the word “obese,” as it is rooted in stigma and can be deeply offensive. Instead, I recognize that bodies naturally come in a wide range of shapes and sizes—from small to large—and that much of the suffering people experience is caused by cultural shame and fat phobia, not by body size itself. My work draws on IFS, Health at Every Size (HAES), Attuned Eating, Body Trust, mindfulness, and narrative therapy to help clients reduce shame, build body trust, and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves. I provide diagnostic clarity when concerns about body size intersect with mood or eating disorders.

Healing the Root of Obesity: An EFT & IFS Approach
Struggling with obesity is rarely just about food; it is an emotional, often protective, response to life's experiences. As a therapist specialized in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help you move beyond willpower and shame to create sustainable, lasting change.
IFS Approach: Together, we will get curious about the "parts" of you—such as the inner critic, the emotional eater, or the protector—that have taken on extreme roles to shield you from pain, trauma, or shame. We won't fight these parts; we will understand them, soothe them, and help them unburden, allowing you to build a more compassionate, trusting relationship with your body.
EFT Approach: I will help you identify the emotional triggers (boredom, sadness, stress) that fuel emotional eating, transforming your emotional reactivity into conscious self-regulation. We will break the cycle of self-criticism, healing the underlying emotional wounds that keep you stuck.
Instead of fighting your body, we will work with it, fostering self-acceptance while addressing the root causes of weight gain to help you find inner harmony and health.
