Weight Loss therapists in Bethalto, Illinois IL
Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Weight loss therapy involves counseling and support to help individuals achieve and maintain a healthy weight through changes in behavior and lifestyle. To support those struggling with weight loss, I start by understanding the emotional factors affecting their eating habits and body image. With Person-Centered therapy, I provide empathy and acceptance, helping clients explore their emotions related to weight. Gestalt methods can help them understand how past experiences affect their relationship with food. Using CBT, I help challenge negative thinking patterns and encourage healthier eating and exercise habits. Mindfulness techniques can improve awareness of hunger cues and manage cravings. The goal is to help clients make lasting lifestyle changes and feel better about their body and food choices.

Sudden weight loss can stem from various factors, with stress being a significant one. As a therapist well-versed in the impact of stress, I can help you explore these issues further and devise a plan to prioritize your health and well-being.

Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Someone with addiction issues might struggle with weight if they use food as a coping mechanism instead of drugs or alcohol, and it might lead to self-esteem issues or relationship problems if they feel stressed about their appearance. I'd support someone struggling with this problem by offering empathy and encouragement. Helping them set realistic goals, providing nutritional guidance, and offering emotional support can be beneficial. Furthermore, addressing underlying issues such as addiction, relationship conflicts, or depression that may be hindering their weight loss efforts can help them overcome obstacles and achieve success.
