Obesity
Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Weight and body size are often treated as simple, individual issues—but the reality is far more complex. People in larger bodies are constantly navigating stigma, bias in healthcare, and cultural messages that equate worth with appearance, discipline, or “health.” Many have experienced being dismissed, shamed, or not taken seriously by providers, which can make seeking support feel frustrating or even unsafe. What gets labeled as a “weight issue” is often connected to stress, trauma, access, medical factors, and the pressure of living in a body that is scrutinized in ways others aren’t.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t approach this work from a place of shame or forced change. We actively challenge weight stigma and the idea that your body needs to be controlled in order for you to be okay. Instead, we work with you to understand your relationship with your body, food, movement, and care—within the context of your actual life. This might include unpacking internalized beliefs, navigating healthcare experiences, addressing emotional or stress-related patterns, and building ways of caring for yourself that feel sustainable and respectful. We also name the cultural and systemic factors shaping how bodies are treated, so you’re not carrying that alone. This is about helping you move toward a relationship with your body that is more grounded, more compassionate, and not defined by external standards.

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 may simply be a result of learning to have an unhealthy relationship with food due to poor choices and behaviors. However, many times it can have origins in our past and therefore emotions. We can explore this together and work on healing anything that comes up, so you can live your life in a healthier manner mind-body and spirit.

Durham is home to Duke University and Duke University Medical Center, one of the leading psychiatric research and treatment centers in the country — an institution that deeply shapes the quality and sophistication of the local therapy community. The Research Triangle's concentration of academics, researchers, and healthcare professionals creates demand for therapists with intellectual depth and experience with high-achievement anxiety, identity work, and the stresses of competitive knowledge-economy careers. Durham also has a vibrant Black community with deep historical roots, and therapists offering culturally affirming care, racial identity work, and intergenerational trauma support are well represented. The city's progressive culture sustains strong demand for LGBTQ+-affirming therapists, and many practitioners integrate social-justice-informed approaches across their work.
