Rebekah Greilick

If you've spent years feeling frustrated by your weight, chances are you've also experienced shame, self-criticism, or the feeling that you've somehow failed. Therapy provides a space to understand the emotional patterns behind those struggles, build self-compassion, and create lasting habits that align with your long-term health and values.

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
Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
Obesity has its roots in any number of profoundly deep, inner beliefs that make a person's mind and body almost 'programmed' to feel that they need to/ have to increase their weight as a way to survive. Some of these beliefs have origins in childhood experiences, such as not having enough food growing up, abuse that led to a person needing to feel bigger to protect themselves, or even that they would not receive love from a caregiver unless they were 'being a good eater', etc. Once the cause is identified, the belief formed in childhood (sometimes later) can be addressed and released, then changed into a much more helpful belief to empower a person with an increased desire for self-care. Rapid Transformational Therapy helps by suggesting these new beneficial beliefs and desires to the subconscious level of thinking, making them feel natural and achievable. If a person believes at the subconscious level that they are a person who happily desires and chooses self-care/ healthy habits, they will release and change the unhealthy habits, resulting in positive effects on their weight and health. Ongoing support after the session will be available.

Ann Arbor is home to the University of Michigan, one of the country's great public research universities, and has one of the highest concentrations of therapists, psychologists, and mental health professionals of any mid-size American city, reflecting both the university's production of trained clinicians and the community's exceptionally high demand for and comfort with mental health services. Michigan Medicine's psychiatry department provides world-class behavioral health services, and a remarkably well-developed private therapy sector serves the broader community including faculty, staff, and permanent residents. The city has a strongly progressive character and an exceptionally high level of mental health literacy and help-seeking, and LGBTQ+ affirming care is well represented in the local therapy landscape. Common therapy concerns include academic stress and perfectionism, identity and relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and the particular challenges of living in a community with intensely high educational and professional expectations.
