Obesity
CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Struggling with weight can be emotionally complicated. You might be dealing with shame, frustration, stress about medical feedback, or years of internalized messages about your body. For many people, weight isn’t just about food or habits—it's connected to stress, trauma, metabolism, family patterns, or emotional coping. It’s rarely as simple as “just try harder,” even though the world often makes it seem that way.
In therapy, we’ll explore your relationship with your body, food, and self-worth in a supportive, nonjudgmental space. I take a holistic and compassionate approach, helping you understand the emotional factors that influence patterns, reduce shame, build healthier coping skills, and create sustainable changes that honor both your mental and physical well-being. Whether your goal is improving health, developing a more peaceful relationship with food, or moving away from cycles of guilt and self-criticism, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Obesity counseling and support provide a compassionate and personalized approach to managing and understanding obesity, a complex health condition influenced by genetic, behavioral, environmental, and psychological factors. It goes beyond food and exercise to explore the emotional and cognitive underpinnings of weight issues. We create a nonjudgmental environment that empowers clients to tackle obesity's challenges, set attainable health goals, and improve their overall quality of life.
Comprehensive Management for Obesity
* Holistic Approach: We consider all facets of an individual's life in our treatment plan, recognizing that physical, emotional, and environmental factors all play a role in managing weight.
* Behavior Modification Strategies: Through evidence-based interventions, we encourage the development of healthier eating patterns, physical activity habits, and coping skills for emotional eating.
* Emotional Support: We provide emotional support, helping clients address body image issues, self-esteem, and any stigmatization they may have experienced due to their weight.
* Collaboration with Healthcare Providers: When needed, we work in tandem with dietitians, doctors, and fitness experts to create a multi-disciplinary plan for optimal health.
* Sustainable Lifestyle Changes: We focus on long-term, sustainable modifications to lifestyle that promote weight loss and maintenance, as well as overall well-being.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
We can look at the emotions and beliefs that may be behind the obesity, then together work on a custom hypnosis plan to help you release what needs to go and rewire in the new, healthy ways to reassociate with nutrition and exercise again. If needed, we may use regression to get to a root cause memory that is holding you hostage to the obesity. We then process the associated emotions and beliefs, and let your inner child finally release long-held words and emotions. I can give you tools you can instantly use that will help you proactively make healthy choices and eventually the healthy choice becomes automatic and intuitive. We literally will install new hardware in your operating system. With repetition (playback of hypnotic recording), we are able to rewire your neural pathways until it becomes your new reality. We set realistic weight loss goals together and do this the safe, natural, and chemical-free way. Within this protocol, there is a return to safety and hope and feeling inner peace and self love again. You are already ahead of the game for understanding you're worth so much more than taking a pill.
