Weight Loss
Tracy Hadel
Counselor/Therapist, LSCSW
Many of my clients have been "fat shamed" by a medical professional. It did not help. Appropriate assistance nourishes ones health, body, and soul. It does not shame.

I use cognitive-behavioral techniques to help with weight loss efforts. These powerful and proven therapeutic techniques can be a strong component of any weight loss plan. We can also mix in other techniques, including narrative therapy and mindfulness.

Weight Loss
XaHara A. MeGod
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, R-DMT, CPT
Weight loss desires are often tangled with shame, diet culture, and body trauma. I do not promote weight loss as a goal. Instead, I help you heal your relationship with food, movement, and your body. Together, we explore emotional eating, binge patterns, or medical concerns through a weight-inclusive, culturally sensitive, trauma-informed lens.

Independence is a Kansas City suburb with a distinctive character rooted in its historical significance as the starting point of the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails and as the world headquarters of the Community of Christ—a significant Latter Day Saint denomination—as well as being the hometown of President Harry S. Truman, a combination that gives the city a particular civic identity unusual for a suburb of its size. The religious community anchored by the Community of Christ Temple creates both a strong support network and specific mental health considerations around faith, doubt, and community belonging for those navigating their relationship with the church. Centerpoint Medical Center and the broader Kansas City health system provide behavioral health resources to Independence and surrounding communities. Common therapy concerns include faith and spiritual identity, commuter stress from the Kansas City metro, economic anxiety, family and relationship issues, and the particular dynamics of a community where civic pride and religious heritage are deeply intertwined.
