Obesity
Devon Davasher
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CCM, CFSW, Master ART Practitioner
I help adults explore the emotional, relational, and behavioral factors that can affect weight, self-image, eating patterns, stress, and overall well-being. Therapy is a space to reduce shame, understand deeper patterns, and build a more sustainable and compassionate relationship with your body and health.

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.

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.
