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.

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
Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
Obesity has been a common disorder. You don't have to suffer from it. You have time. I have been helping individuals with this disorder lose weight, stay fit and be healthy. I will help you become a new, healthy and happy you by Anapana M System and Dicit Hypnotherapy. Patients with this disorder are getting resilient in no time. Now it's your turn.
Obesity is treatable with hypnotherapy, which is considered a safe, effective, and evidence-based tool for weight reduction, particularly when combined with lifestyle changes. It works by fostering better eating habits, increasing motivation, and reducing food cravings, with proof showing significant, long-term weight loss in my clients.
10 Years Experience
Online in Topeka, KS
Topeka is Kansas's state capital and a city with an unusually significant mental health history—the Menninger Clinic, for decades one of the world's leading psychiatric institutions, was founded and based in Topeka before relocating to Houston in 2003, leaving a legacy of mental health awareness and professional expertise that still influences the community. The city is also historically significant as the location of the plaintiffs in Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark Supreme Court desegregation case, and the ongoing work of racial equity remains an important dimension of community life and mental health context. Stormont Vail Health provides behavioral health services, and a private therapy sector serves Topeka's mix of government, legal, and healthcare workers alongside the broader population. Common therapy concerns include depression, anxiety, racial justice and identity, economic stress in a mid-size state capital, and the particular challenges of a community working to reimagine its future.
