Individual Behavioral Weight Loss Treatment
Individual weight loss treatment involves meeting with one of our weight loss specialists for a 60-minute therapy session once per week. At your first appointment, your therapist will fully assess your concerns and recommend treatment options that are best suited to meet your recovery goals.
In individual treatment, you will learn new ways of thinking about nutrition and balance to allow for permanent positive changes in eating and physical activity behaviors. Individual treatment is the best option for those who would benefit from regular and ongoing accountability and structure while processing the individual and emotional components impacting your lifestyle changes and goals.
