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.

Obesity
Michael Berry
Psychologist, PhD
My work with obesity takes a comprehensive health psychology approach, recognizing that weight is influenced by a complex interplay of biological, psychological, behavioral, and environmental factors. Using evidence-based cognitive behavioral and biopsychosocial approaches, I help patients develop sustainable strategies for behavior change, address barriers to healthy habits, and navigate the emotional and psychological challenges that can accompany weight management; I also provide psychological evaluations for patients considering bariatric surgery, with a focus on readiness, expectations, and long-term success.

Obesity
Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
We can look at the emotions and beliefs that may be behind the obesity, then together work on a custom hypnosis plan to help you release what needs to go and rewire in the new, healthy ways to reassociate with nutrition and exercise again. If needed, we may use regression to get to a root cause memory that is holding you hostage to the obesity. We then process the associated emotions and beliefs, and let your inner child finally release long-held words and emotions. I can give you tools you can instantly use that will help you proactively make healthy choices and eventually the healthy choice becomes automatic and intuitive. We literally will install new hardware in your operating system. With repetition (playback of hypnotic recording), we are able to rewire your neural pathways until it becomes your new reality. We set realistic weight loss goals together and do this the safe, natural, and chemical-free way. Within this protocol, there is a return to safety and hope and feeling inner peace and self love again. You are already ahead of the game for understanding you're worth so much more than taking a pill.

I help clients explore the emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns that contribute to weight challenges.

The focus is on building self-awareness, healthier choices, and a compassionate relationship with your body and self.

Obesity
Dr. Janelle Louis
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, ND, PMHNP-BC
I view weight through the lens of hormones, metabolism, trauma, mental health, and lifestyle—not judgment. If you struggle with obesity, I would love to help you set compassionate, sustainable goals while addressing emotional and biological factors that affect weight. You’ll be supported every step of the way.
