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.

Weight Loss
Teona Amble
Psychologist, Ph.D., LP
I help women, men, boys, and girls to make peace with food and to make peace with your body. As a person living with insulin resistance, I understand the challenges of weight management and sorting out the fake news to figure out what works for your mind and body. As a therapist, I take a mindfulness-based and intuitive eating approach to managing weight and improving health behaviors. I have worked in bariatric and medical weight loss clinics, so I bring experience in all aspects of weight loss including nutrition, medications, and psychological interventions. I help you to understand the impact of your mental health and relationships on your eating behaviors and food choices. Let's figure out your narratives around food, eating, and weight, so we can build more helpful beliefs and habits to help your reach your goals.

Anxiety Eliminated
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Health Coach, MBA
I have helped many clients develop a healthy DELICIOUS diet, exercise regularly, and release the past traumas associated with poor body image. The protocols for doing so are extremely reliable and effective. Then we go on to pull out the root causes of the disorders.

Alan Jacobson, Psy.D.

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.

Pittsburgh's post-steel identity brings civic pride alongside the lingering mental health effects of industrial decline, with therapists frequently addressing grief, economic anxiety, and intergenerational family dynamics rooted in its working-class heritage. The city's medical landscape is anchored by UPMC — one of the largest health systems in the country — and the University of Pittsburgh, both of which maintain extensive mental health training programs and community clinics. Pittsburgh has a growing creative and tech economy attracting young professionals, creating demand for therapists who work with identity, career transitions, and the particular stress of building a life in a city undergoing reinvention. Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, and the South Hills are among the neighborhoods with the strongest concentrations of private practices.
