Hello and thank you for taking the time to view my profile! The decision to enter into counseling is an important step on the road to wellness and self-discovery. As we move along our journey in life, we sometimes encounter bends in the road that impact us in difficult ways. At times it may be difficult to catch up with yourself, and when you finally do, it can seem overwhelming. Life can be full of concerns, struggles, and difficulties that cause anxiety, depression, peer and family/marital conflicts.

Going through Bariatric Surgery? Frustratrated with the ups and downs of dieting? I get it! Being overweight can have an enormous impact on us not only physically but so often mentally as well. Let's get real- it is never really about the food is it? We manage so much on a daily basis yet this issue remains so hard for us even when we work tirelessly to manage it. We can become so self- critical and simply feel defeated. You are not alone. You may be very surprised to learn how much of the way we think and feel directly impact this process. Truth be told, the answers are not always so obvious.

Obesity Therapists

Can obesity be a cause of depression and anxiety?

Yes. It can be stressful and debilitating to carry excess weight. Many people make inaccurate assumptions about people who are overweight. This stigma may lead individuals to feel badly about themselves, decreasing their self-esteem, or leading to feelings of worthlessness. An association between obesity and depression is well-established.

When should an individual seek treatment for obesity?

When obesity, or the feelings it causes, creates a disruption in your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Examples include avoiding social situations due to anxiety, an inability to participate in family life as a result of health problems, or poor performance at work due to low self-esteem or other concerns.

Are there specific medications for weight loss?

There are several prescription drugs that can help with weight loss, including semaglutide and phentermine. These drugs reduce appetite and must be prescribed by a physician. Professionals will suggest lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, before turning to drugs, which have side effects and typically are prescribed only for a short duration. Many people regain weight after taking weight loss drugs if they have not made significant lifestyle changes.

What is body positivity?

Body positivity is a cultural movement that promotes the acceptance of bodies of all sizes and types, rather than those that conform to societal ideals of beauty. It places self-worth, self-acceptance, and an appreciation for one’s body as goals to achieve a happier, healthier attitude about oneself and others, focusing on who a person is rather than what they look like.
