Frequently Asked Questions

Will therapy actually help with weight loss?

Yes. When weight struggles have emotional roots, which they often do, therapy addresses those patterns directly. Many clients lose weight naturally once they resolve the underlying issues driving their eating.

What if I've tried therapy before?

Many people benefit from additional therapy with a different provider or at a different time in their life. Your readiness and the therapeutic relationship both matter. A new approach might be exactly what helps.

Do I have to talk about my weight constantly?

No. Your therapist will follow your lead. Sometimes weight management work involves discussing trauma, stress, relationships, or other areas. Your therapist helps you understand connections without becoming intrusive.

What about my physical pain or limitations?

Our physical therapists specifically work with people who've injured, in pain, or feel limited. We help you move safely and build capacity progressively. Pain management and exercise are complementary.

Will insurance cover this?

Mental health services are covered by most insurance when referred appropriately. Physical therapy is usually covered. We handle insurance verification and billing so you understand costs upfront.

How long is treatment?

This varies. Some clients benefit from 12-16 weeks. Others benefit from longer-term work. Your therapist will regularly assess whether you're reaching your goals and adjust as needed.

Is this a gym?

No. We're a mental health and wellness practice. Our physical therapists provide therapeutic exercise, not fitness training. If you want gym-style fitness, we can coordinate with other providers.

What makes you different?

We're one of the few practices integrating mental health, physical therapy, and nutrition specifically for weight management. Most weight loss places ignore the mental health piece. That's our specialty.
