Obesity
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. I have published a book on the topic entitled "Obesity. A Weighty Problem & The Cure" under my nom de plume, Dr. Mitch

Obesity
Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Weight and body size are often treated as simple, individual issues—but the reality is far more complex. People in larger bodies are constantly navigating stigma, bias in healthcare, and cultural messages that equate worth with appearance, discipline, or “health.” Many have experienced being dismissed, shamed, or not taken seriously by providers, which can make seeking support feel frustrating or even unsafe. What gets labeled as a “weight issue” is often connected to stress, trauma, access, medical factors, and the pressure of living in a body that is scrutinized in ways others aren’t.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t approach this work from a place of shame or forced change. We actively challenge weight stigma and the idea that your body needs to be controlled in order for you to be okay. Instead, we work with you to understand your relationship with your body, food, movement, and care—within the context of your actual life. This might include unpacking internalized beliefs, navigating healthcare experiences, addressing emotional or stress-related patterns, and building ways of caring for yourself that feel sustainable and respectful. We also name the cultural and systemic factors shaping how bodies are treated, so you’re not carrying that alone. This is about helping you move toward a relationship with your body that is more grounded, more compassionate, and not defined by external standards.

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.
