Obesity
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.

With compassion, respect and non-judgment, I support clients experiencing obesity through integrated approaches—behavioral strategies, mindful intuitive eating, body-centered awareness, and relapse prevention—to promote health, self-compassion, and lasting lifestyle shifts. My work centers on realistic goal-setting, reducing shame, and breaking old patterns, strengthening coping skills to improve physical and emotional well-being.

Elisha S Lee

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.

* 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.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
When we hold shame about our bodies, we often become disconnected from ourselves and those around us. You might feel you have missed out on magical experiences with friends and lovers because you were distracted by comparison and cruel thoughts about your body. You might find it hard to stay present during sexual intimacy because you’re trying to imagine how your body is being perceived from different angles. Maybe you were taught by our culture or other influential figures that there was something wrong with you because of how your body looks or behaves. Repairing your relationship with your body is hard work that can powerfully shift your relationships, making you more available for pleasure and connection. We’re here for you on your journey to radical self-acceptance!
