Forsyth Integrative Therapy
Weight Loss Clinic in Winston-Salem, North Carolina
About Forsyth Integrative Therapy
Forsyth Integrative Therapy takes a unique approach to weight loss by addressing the psychological and behavioral aspects that often sabotage traditional diet efforts. Located in Winston-Salem, our practice specializes in hypnotherapy and integrative techniques that help clients overcome emotional eating, food addictions, and negative thought patterns around food and body image. We believe lasting weight loss starts in the mind.
Our certified hypnotherapists work with clients to identify and change subconscious beliefs that contribute to weight gain and difficulty maintaining healthy habits. Through personalized hypnotherapy sessions and complementary therapeutic techniques, we help people develop a healthier relationship with food and their bodies. Our approach recognizes that successful weight management requires addressing both conscious behaviors and unconscious patterns that drive eating habits.
Services Offered
Our primary service is clinical hypnotherapy specifically designed for weight loss and eating behavior modification. During hypnosis sessions, we work to reprogram subconscious thoughts and beliefs about food, body image, and self-worth that may be hindering your weight loss efforts. We also incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to help clients identify triggers for overeating and develop healthier coping strategies. Our integrative approach may include mindfulness training, stress reduction techniques, and guided imagery exercises that support long-term lifestyle changes. We offer both individual sessions and small group programs, allowing clients to choose the format that works best for their learning style and comfort level. Many clients find that addressing the mental and emotional aspects of eating creates breakthrough moments that traditional dieting alone couldn't achieve. We also provide ongoing support and maintenance sessions to help clients stay on track with their new healthy habits and thought patterns.

What to Expect
Your journey begins with a comprehensive assessment where we explore your relationship with food, eating patterns, and previous weight loss attempts. We'll identify emotional triggers, stress responses, and underlying beliefs that may be contributing to your weight struggles. During this initial consultation, we'll also discuss your goals and create a personalized treatment plan.
Hypnotherapy sessions typically last 60-90 minutes and involve deep relaxation techniques followed by positive suggestions and imagery designed to reshape your subconscious relationship with food and eating. Between sessions, you'll practice self-hypnosis techniques and implement behavioral strategies we discuss. We usually recommend weekly sessions initially, then gradually space them out as you develop new patterns. Most clients see significant changes within 6-12 sessions, though some may need additional support depending on their specific challenges.
Why Choose Forsyth Integrative Therapy
Unlike traditional weight loss programs that focus primarily on diet and exercise, we address the root psychological causes of weight struggles. Many people know what to eat and how to exercise but still can't maintain long-term success because they haven't addressed the mental and emotional components of eating behavior. Our hypnotherapy approach helps create lasting changes at the subconscious level, where many eating patterns originate.
Our certified hypnotherapists have extensive training in both clinical hypnosis and weight management psychology. We understand that each person's relationship with food is unique, which is why we customize our approach for every client. Many of our clients have tried numerous diet programs without lasting success and find that addressing the psychological aspects finally gives them the breakthrough they've been seeking.

Hypnotherapy services are typically not covered by insurance, though some plans may reimburse for sessions that include psychotherapy components. We operate primarily on a fee-for-service basis with transparent pricing for individual sessions and package deals.

Payment plans are available to make our services accessible, and we accept HSA/FSA cards when applicable.
First-Time Patient Tips
Before your first session, avoid making dramatic changes to your eating patterns, as we want to understand your current habits and triggers. Come prepared to discuss your eating history honestly, including emotional connections to food and past dieting experiences. It's helpful to keep a brief food and mood diary for a few days before your visit. Approach hypnotherapy with an open mind, it's not about losing control but rather gaining control over subconscious patterns.
During treatment, practice the self-hypnosis techniques we teach between sessions and be patient with the process. Changes often occur gradually as your subconscious mind integrates new patterns. Be honest about any challenges or setbacks you experience, as these provide valuable information for adjusting your program. Remember that hypnotherapy requires your active participation, we provide the tools and techniques, but your commitment to using them determines your success.
