Obesity
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.

Obesity
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.

Heinig Health and Wellness Counseling
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. We emphasize a compassionate, nonjudgmental framework that supports long-term well-being rather than short-term dieting, helping clients create meaningful and lasting lifestyle changes.
