Healthy Weight Control Program

Weight problems are very prevalent in our society, with unfortunate effects on many levels. Obesity is a risk factor for a large number of physical illnesses, and has a negative impact on quality of life in several respects.

The PsycheSoma Healthy Weight Control Program is designed for those with weight control problems ranging from mild to severe. Our program minimizes the risk of eating disorders and yo-yo dieting, and increases the chances of successful weight loss maintenance. These considerations are especially important for overweight children and adolescents, who are at risk for severe obesity, eating disorders, and poor self-esteem. The proper treatment of overweight and obese children and teenagers is probably the most effective way of dealing with the growing obesity problem, and one of the best investments in preventive health behavior change that one can make.

In the Healthy Weight Control Program, optimal eating and exercise plans are designed and carried out under the expert supervision of nutritionists and exercise physiologists, while personal and family issues affecting weight control are addressed through individual, family, or group therapy with a psychologist. Our integrated approach provides patients with the greatest chance of achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.
