What Services We Provide |
We provide individual psychotherapy to those thinking about undergoing bariatric surgery, those who have had bariatric surgery, and those considering other non-surgical options to promote wellness. Collectively, we many years of experience in working with folks suffering from food addiction, overeating, and body image concerns. Our approach to this work is marked by encouragement, supportive challenge, self-compassion, and learning. We work to provide a non-judgmental, supportive, and safe environment, to uncover personal patterns that are causing distress, and aiding you in deeper self-understanding and self-compassion. This is vital to promote the change you wish for.
We provide exposure therapy to those who are anxious about the surgical process and would like help in reducing their anxiety. Exposure therapy involves exposing you to your fears (needles, hospitals, general fear of surgery, or the unknown of the surgical process) in a safe and calming environment. This allows for anxiety reduction and management. We conduct pre-surgical psychological evaluations for those who are planning to have bariatric surgery. This assessment is usually a few hours, includes an interview and answering several questions through psychological assessments, and a follow-up report for your surgeon. We work to aid patients in preparing for surgery, understanding the process, and providing recommendations for optimizing success and long-term behavior change. |
