Obesity Therapists in New York

Helping others meet their wellness goals is a passion of mine, and I believe everyone deserves to be heard and valued. Having worked in service fields for most of my adult life, the transition to counseling was a natural progression for me. ‍ I am excited to work with individuals in one-on-one counseling as well as in a group setting. Over the course of my adult life I have worked extensively with individuals battling obesity, binge eating disorder and food addiction and something that I have learned is that guilt and shame are roadblocks that prevent us from moving forward.

I work with children, adolescents and adults offering psychotherapy and counseling services for anxiety, depression, loss, relationship difficulties, and family dysfunction for individuals, families, couples and groups.

If your relationship with food is a bit messy - I can help. In my 20+ years working in the health and wellness industry, I have helped thousands of individuals heal their complex and confusing relationships with food and their bodies. Clients sometimes say it can be hard to relax around food or feel defeated by the influence food has over their lives. If you have ever felt this way I am here to offer hope. My direct, compassionate and results-oriented approach will help you build a meaningful relationship with food.

If you suffer from complex medical issues, pain management, and/or complications related to obesity, Dr. Lachman may be an especially good choice as a psychotherapist. He specializes in Health Psychology and has extensive training and clinical experience working with patients struggling with these and similar problems.

Internships within various medical settings, including the Palo Alto VA Hospital and Robert Wood Johnson Medical School has prepared him to identify the proper course of treatment needed for you.

Through trust and collaboration we start to build understanding so the anxiety and depression often seen with food concerns doesn't dominate one's life. Struggling with food can lead to obesity, bulimia and anorexia. Definitions of addiction are complicated but if you think of food before relationships, or you're in a physical and psychological state you feel you cannot share with others then maybe it's time to come in for healing. I've had the honor of working with hundreds of people over the past 18 years witnessing and fostering recovery from eating issues and related disorders.

We see patients with anxiety, depression, MTHFR, IBS, Hashimoto's and chronic fatigue. They are tired of taking medication or don't want to start. They have a host of physical issues, but nobody connects the dots for them. They are looking for a team of integrative health care professionals to evaluate them mentally and physically and to create a program of care that addresses the causes, not just the symptoms. We use cutting edge lab and advanced psychological testing to create a baseline for where you are right now. Armed with this information, we can create a treatment plan for you.
