Robin Wellington
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A, RYT-500, CTP, CSTFP
When working with weight loss, I help clients explore the emotional, behavioral, and mind-body patterns that influence their relationship with food, movement, and self-care. Rather than focusing only on willpower or restriction, we look at the underlying stress, habits, and beliefs that may be affecting health and well-being. Together we build greater awareness, nervous system balance, and sustainable lifestyle changes that support a healthier, more compassionate relationship with your body.

Dr. Mitchell Roth
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, JD, PsyD, LMHC
Conventional responses to obesity are dieting, and in extreme circumstances, surgery. Neither gets to the cause of the compulsive over-eating which has led to obesity. Treatment of obesity is complex and the subject of my doctoral project. It is the subject of my book, "Obesity. Our Weighty Problem & the Cure," by Dr. Mitch.

Jarrece Patrick
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC
Weight management is rarely just about diet and exercise; it is deeply intertwined with our emotional landscape, stress responses, and ingrained habits. My approach to weight loss focuses on the psychological roots of your relationship with food, helping you transition away from restrictive cycles and toward a sustainable, healthy lifestyle. Together, we will explore the underlying triggers for emotional eating, build mindful awareness, and develop compassionate self-care routines that support your physical and mental well-being simultaneously. By addressing the "why" behind your behaviors, we can foster long-term change that honors your body's needs and promotes a more balanced, fulfilling life.

Columbia is South Carolina's state capital and home to the University of South Carolina, creating a city with a significant student population, major public health infrastructure, and the complex racial and political dynamics of a Deep South capital navigating its Confederate history and ongoing racial equity challenges. Fort Jackson, the US Army's largest initial entry training post, is located in Columbia and brings a significant military population whose mental health needs—particularly around transition and trauma—are an important part of the local care landscape. Prisma Health provides behavioral health services to the community, and a private therapy sector serves the city's mix of students, government workers, and military families. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, military and veteran transition, race and identity in a historically complex Southern capital, anxiety, depression, and the political stress of living in a contentious state capital environment.
