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.

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.

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.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
When we hold shame about our bodies, we often become disconnected from ourselves and those around us. You might feel you have missed out on magical experiences with friends and lovers because you were distracted by comparison and cruel thoughts about your body. You might find it hard to stay present during sexual intimacy because you’re trying to imagine how your body is being perceived from different angles. Maybe you were taught by our culture or other influential figures that there was something wrong with you because of how your body looks or behaves. Repairing your relationship with your body is hard work that can powerfully shift your relationships, making you more available for pleasure and connection. We’re here for you on your journey to radical self-acceptance!
