Obesity Therapists in New York, NY
Additionally, we use a Medication Management (MAT) approach in treating adults who are suffering from opioid use and obesity.
We optimize virtual care to strengthen patient engagement, increase access, promote retention in care, and achieve and maintain sobriety. As an AAHIVS, my goal is to empower adults living with HIV to maintain optimal health and productive lives. Our practice encourages all patients to be actively connected and engaged in their preventative and primary care while we serve as a supplemental, adjuvant source aimed at improving health outcomes. We believe the convenience, privacy, and comfort of treating individuals via telemedicine is a welcome addition to the options available to our patient base.

Life before and after weight loss can be difficult. No matter how you've lost a significant amount of weight, your life changes. Most of my clients have had, or are thinking about having, Lap-Band, Bypass, Sleeve, or Balloon weight loss procedures. I also counsel those who don't qualify, or do not desire surgery. In order to maintain the weight loss, one's behavior must change. Our thinking must change. How we see ourselves must change. I should know - I am a product of all these lifestyle changes myself.

Welcome! I am a clinical psychologist and a TA psychotherapist (transactional analysis). I work with a variety of psychological challenges but I am specialized in working with individuals struggling with eating disorders (bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, binge-eating disorder). The individuals I work with often come to therapy having tried many behavioral interventions that brought little change (being more disciplined with their diet, exercising more/less, creating plans etc.).

Making the decision to start psychotherapy is not easy. It means the commitment to spending time, money, and energy to understanding parts of yourself that may be difficult to uncover and accept. I appreciate that. My practice is a warm, safe space to help you bring your deepest wants and worries to the surface in order to live the life you have wanted. I aim to walk through the therapeutic process with you, by your side - through old wounds and/or difficult current dilemmas - to help you feel "unstuck" and experience positive change.

Searching through lists of therapists is no one's idea of a good time. Hopefully you have been able to reflect on what is important to you during this stressful and terrifying Covid-19 pandemic. I like to be able to find something positive about a dark time, but I am not relentlessly positive, nor do I think it is healthy for anyone to be constantly content or joyful. Life just doesn't work that way. Let me help you to define or articulate what is painful & discover alternate paths forward. Balance means embracing the positive and enduring the negative and having the self knowledge to know which is which.

Sometimes life does not seem to go how you would like it to. It may feel like everything is building up and you may explode into tears. Perhaps it seems as though the more you have going on the more you feel like not doing anything at all and when you aren’t doing anything you still feel like you should be doing something. Sometimes we find ourselves being overworked and underappreciated not only by other people around us but within ourselves as well.

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.
