Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Obesity counseling and support provide a compassionate and personalized approach to managing and understanding obesity, a complex health condition influenced by genetic, behavioral, environmental, and psychological factors. It goes beyond food and exercise to explore the emotional and cognitive underpinnings of weight issues. We create a nonjudgmental environment that empowers clients to tackle obesity's challenges, set attainable health goals, and improve their overall quality of life.
Comprehensive Management for Obesity
* Holistic Approach: We consider all facets of an individual's life in our treatment plan, recognizing that physical, emotional, and environmental factors all play a role in managing weight.
* Behavior Modification Strategies: Through evidence-based interventions, we encourage the development of healthier eating patterns, physical activity habits, and coping skills for emotional eating.
* Emotional Support: We provide emotional support, helping clients address body image issues, self-esteem, and any stigmatization they may have experienced due to their weight.
* Collaboration with Healthcare Providers: When needed, we work in tandem with dietitians, doctors, and fitness experts to create a multi-disciplinary plan for optimal health.
* Sustainable Lifestyle Changes: We focus on long-term, sustainable modifications to lifestyle that promote weight loss and maintenance, as well as overall well-being.
Goals of Obesity Counseling and Support
Our obesity counseling and support services aim to:
* Build a Positive Self-Image: Help clients develop a more positive and compassionate body image, which can be a powerful motivator for change.
* Enhance Self-Regulation: Teach skills to manage cravings, emotional eating, and stress, which are often linked to weight gain and obesity.
* Increase Knowledge: Provide education about nutrition, the science of weight loss, and the effects of obesity on health.
* Support Personal Empowerment: Empower individuals to take control of their health decisions and develop the confidence to implement and stick to health-promoting behaviors.
* Create a Supportive Community: Offer group programs and support networks that foster camaraderie and shared experiences, helping individuals to feel less isolated in their journey.

Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
I have also helped many clients to lose weight. My "Lose Weight Now" program has been successful with many people over the years. I grew up being called "Fat Pat" and therefore I know from experience how that feels. I have developed an approach, which helps people lose weight without deprivation. I have presented "Lose Weight Now" seminars for organizations and produced a CD, "Lose Weight Now," that is available on Bandcamp website. I have also presented a radio program on Mindful Eating and led workshops on this topic. I offer regular free Zoom seminars, which can help individuals deal with issues of weight loss. Please feel free to call for further information and/or a consultation: 301-229-8000.
