Obesity
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.

Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
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.
Goals of Obesity Counseling and Support
Our obesity counseling and support services aim to:
* Build a Positive Self-Image: Help clients develop a more positive and compassionate body image, which can be a powerful motivator for change.
* Enhance Self-Regulation: Teach skills to manage cravings, emotional eating, and stress, which are often linked to weight gain and obesity.
* Increase Knowledge: Provide education about nutrition, the science of weight loss, and the effects of obesity on health.
* Support Personal Empowerment: Empower individuals to take control of their health decisions and develop the confidence to implement and stick to health-promoting behaviors.
* Create a Supportive Community: Offer group programs and support networks that foster camaraderie and shared experiences, helping individuals to feel less isolated in their journey.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
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.

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.
