Mending Mental Health
Weight Loss Clinic in Richfield, Minnesota
About Mending Mental Health
Mending Mental Health in Richfield recognizes that successful weight management requires addressing both psychological and physical factors. Our integrative approach combines traditional psychiatric care with holistic wellness strategies to help clients overcome the emotional barriers that often contribute to weight struggles. We understand that many people eat in response to stress, depression, anxiety, or trauma.
Our team includes board-certified psychiatrists, licensed therapists, and naturopathic practitioners who work collaboratively to address the whole person. We believe that sustainable weight loss happens when clients heal their relationship with food, manage stress effectively, and address underlying mental health conditions that may be impacting their eating behaviors and metabolism.
Services Offered
Our comprehensive weight management program integrates psychiatric evaluation, individual therapy, and naturopathic medicine to address the complex factors contributing to weight gain. We provide medication management for conditions like depression and anxiety that often lead to emotional eating or metabolic changes. Our therapists specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy for eating disorders and weight management. Naturopathic services include nutritional counseling, herbal medicine, and lifestyle coaching that complement traditional psychiatric treatment. We address hormonal imbalances, stress management, sleep optimization, and gut health - all crucial factors in maintaining a healthy weight. Our approach recognizes that mental health and physical health are deeply interconnected. Group therapy sessions focus on emotional eating, body image, and developing healthy coping strategies. We also offer mindfulness training and stress reduction techniques that help clients break the cycle of stress eating. Our holistic approach ensures that weight loss efforts are supported by improved mental health and emotional wellbeing.

We explore your relationship with food, eating patterns, stress levels, and any underlying mental health conditions that may be contributing to weight challenges.
Based on this assessment, we develop an integrated treatment plan that might include therapy, medication adjustments, nutritional counseling, and stress management techniques. Regular follow-up appointments monitor both your mental health and weight loss progress, allowing us to adjust treatments as needed for optimal outcomes.

First-Time Patient Tips
Recovery requires patience and commitment to the therapeutic process. Weight loss may be slower than with traditional diet programs because we're addressing underlying psychological factors. It's important to attend all scheduled appointments and be open about your struggles and challenges.
Healing your relationship with food and your body takes time, especially if you've struggled with weight for many years. We encourage clients to focus on overall wellbeing rather than just the number on the scale. Developing healthy coping strategies and improving mental health often leads to natural, sustainable weight loss.
