Christina Fay, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Treatment for weight issues is often a part of many other mental health diagnosis that decrease physical activity, impact self-control, or result in avoidance. However, obesity can often occur for many other reasons outside of one's control. As a part of health treatments we investigate the underlying conditions, history of management, and often times work with the advice of your medical team to help determine what a healthy body means/will look like for you. Weight loss is not always the main focus and can often times come with negative short and long term consequences if done in an unhealthy way.

It is widely accepted that weight loss, eating disorders, and anxiety are all issues that hypnosis is successful at dealing with. All have their root in emotional issues and the habitual way people see themselves and their lives. Research shows that most people who are grossly overweight have suffered some trauma in their lives leading them to holding on to excess weight and no amount of dieting will permanently change that without resolving those past traumas and changing habits and relationship with food. I see many such clients in my practice and we are able to find them healing and moving on to healthier lifestyle. While we work on the emotional roots of eating problems, it is possible to do hypnotic Gastric Band therapy which works exactly like the real Gastric band but without the painful and expensive surgery. We can set a limit beyond which you feel full and can't eat any more.

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.
