Weight Loss Therapists in Tulsa, OK
Most people have been unsuccessful when they tried to change problematic behavior. I help you trouble shoot roadblocks and find more effective ways to success. I start with an intake interview to better understand your experiences, what has been helpful in the past, what has not been helpful in the past, and what may be most helpful in the future. I conduct motivational interviews to discover more about your readiness for change. Then, I meet you where you are in order to increase the likelihood of your success. I incorporate evidenced-based treatment protocols into your plan and evaluate progress on an on-going basis.

My predominant theoretical model is solution focused. It is a very respectful form of therapy, and respects each client's cultural beliefs, religious beliefs, and personal journey. One of the things I love most about my role, is witnessing other's journey, and helping them move through struggles and life challenges.

If I were to ask you to name all the things you LOVE...how long would it take you to name YOURSELF? Do you feel like your not in control of your thoughts, feelings, and actions? Like your brain has a mind of it's own? Feel so tired you didn't want to get out of bed? Keep forgetting your keys, lose your train of thought, or can't seem to focus on tasks? Some days it's so bad you don't recognize yourself in the mirror or in pictures. Hopelessness becomes your daily go to feeling. You either want to sleep all day or eat everything in sight. Then comes feeling like a failure and the desire to just give up and run away. There is hope.

It's hard to be strong for everyone all the time. You feel life is pulling in too many directions and there is no time to just stop and breathe. Your thoughts won't even shut up long enough to get some sleep. Life wasn't always this hard, but you may not even remember the last time something was actually fun. Feeling broken and beaten by the world is exhausting. It may seem hopeless now, but you haven't met me yet.

Each of us encounters moments when life leaves us feeling overwhelmed and underprepared. When we experience these challenges, it's common for sadness, worry, and conflict to leave us emotionally drained or off-balance. We may even find ourselves focusing more on the past or in the future than we are on the present moment. It is my privilege as a counselor to help clients explore these challenges, develop personal, relationship, and wellness goals, prepare for obstacles that may get in the way of meaningful change, and begin to mindfully recommit to living their best life possible.

I use hypnosis at times to assist the client with behavior modification. I Stopped taking insurance & lowered my fee to $45 per session. I work also with Anger Management issues. Change is constant & sometimes we can get off track & need someone to talk to and figure out how to modify & fine tune our journey & get back on track. Remember..life is like a roller coaster..we will always have ups & downs..we just don’t want to stay down....

Change can be difficult, but often necessary. I believe it is important to realize that change is optimal when an individual is truly motivated to make the effort to grow. Therapy provides a person with empathy, encouragement and understanding on how to change negative patterns. The relationship between client and therapist is very important so that each individual can feel comfortable to be open and honest. I often focus on brain and overall health to assist with those issues that may repeatedly cause a person to feel stuck; this includes talk therapy, neurofeedback, diet and nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene and environment.

What is the relationship between weight management and mental health?
Mental health can be significantly influenced by one's physical health, so overall improvements in one's quality of life as a result of improved physical functioning from weight loss can have an overall positive impact on an individual's mental health and allow them to engage more readily in everyday activities. In addition, many strategies used to manage weight, such as exercise and maintaining a healthy diet, are also associated with reducing the symptoms of common mental health conditions, such as anxiety or depression. Individuals may also benefit from the improved self-esteem and self-efficacy that can come with successful weight management.
What is the psychological approach to losing weight?
While there are no specific therapy modalities specifically for weight loss, common psychological therapies can be highly effective in helping clients make lasting lifestyle changes. This may be called the "psychological approach" to weight loss because it does not rely on physical interventions, such as medication or weight loss surgery, to help clients lose weight. Weight loss counseling can be used in addition to or instead of such physical interventions. Some clients simply seek therapy to address the challenges that may accompany weight loss in general, including negative thoughts surrounding their body, disordered eating patterns, or difficulty completing daily tasks as a result of their weight challenges. In such cases, therapists will often utilize behavioral coaching or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help clients understand how their thoughts may be influencing their diet and physical activity patterns.
What type of therapy is commonly used in weight loss counseling?
Weight loss counseling often involves a combination of therapy and psychoeducation. Common techniques used by weight loss counselors include journaling, thought diaries, and other Cognitive Behavioral Therapy strategies that encourage clients to consider how their feelings about their weight loss impact their mental health. Weight loss counselors may also teach clients mindfulness exercises, which can be used by clients during and after eating to be more aware of physical cues from their body surrounding eating. Some clients looking for weight loss therapy may also benefit from group therapy approaches, which utilize the power of social connection and accountability to help clients adhere to their weight loss plan.
Is therapy recommended for individuals undergoing bariatric surgery?
While therapy is not a requirement for individuals undergoing bariatric surgery, many individuals undergoing weight loss surgery may benefit from seeing a counselor. Prior to surgery, counselors can help clients decide whether surgical weight loss is a good fit for them and assist in surgery preparation. Post-surgery, counselors can assist clients with the psychological component of maintaining their weight loss, as well as help clients navigate any postoperative pain. Throughout the surgical process, therapists can help clients process body-image challenges that may come with dramatic changes in weight, as well as manage symptoms of anxiety or depression that may accompany the major life changes bariatric surgery can bring.
