Behavioral Support
Short-term success in losing weight requires making an effort on a daily basis to change routine personal habits relating to food and exercise. Long-term success involves making some permanent lifestyle changes.
Our one-on-one behavioral counseling is designed to help you figure out what eating habits have been adversely affecting your health and weight. Once we have zeroed in on what your personal difficulties are, we provide practical problem-solving techniques and tools to help you change your thinking and your actions.
Eating as a comfort tool in response to stress, or "emotional eating", is a common problem. We provide a safe, caring, and non-judgmental atmosphere in which you can explore the reasons why you may be overeating or making poor food choices, and begin a process and action plan to break old behavior patterns that prevent you from moving forward.
We offer new technology-based support tools to help you along the way to successful weight loss. Our Victory Seeker interactive cell phone support system delivers daily reminders and personal progress reporting about the specific steps you are taking each day to achieve your weight loss goal. This tool allows us to maintain contact with you during the week, when you might otherwise lose sight of your goals. We are also available via phone and email to answer your questions and concerns between visits.
We utilize established psychological principles and methods to help you make permanent changes in your daily habits regarding food and exercise. Our five year experience in helping people lose weight has told us that a person's individual success is highly linked to their strong personal commitment to make a change in their behavior and habits.
We are here to support you every step of the way on your journey.
