Adults

The Center for Obesity and Health offers group, individual and family programs for weight loss and binge eating, in a comfortable setting.

 

Group Treatment
Groups meet to share common experiences to inspire and problem solve to lose weight and stop binge eating. Groups are offered at lunch and after work hours.

·           The Behavioral Weight Loss program is a 12-week program that provides behavioral skills to eat less, increase physical activity, and ultimately change your weight. 

·           The Binge Eating program is a 12-week program that focuses specifically on Interpersonal Therapy to gain control of overeating.  

 

Individual Psychotherapy
By exploring cognitions, behaviors, motivations,  interpersonal factors and emotions that contribute to an eating disorder, the individual works with our therapist to replace uncontrolled behaviors and negative feelings with a strong sense of self and a positive self-esteem.

 

Family and Marital Therapy to Improve Weight Loss
Family therapy sessions explore and improve long-standing patterns of communication between family members. These sessions provide awareness of common issues and roles and help the individual work with long-standing family systems to improve weight loss.

 

Bariatric Surgery Evaluations
For adults who are wishing to have bariatric surgery, we offer comprehensive psychological evaluations.
