Psyched To See You
Weight Loss Clinic in Greensboro, North Carolina
About Psyched To See You
Psyched To See You takes a comprehensive mental health approach to weight management, recognizing that sustainable weight loss often requires addressing underlying psychological factors. Our Greensboro practice combines psychiatric care, counseling, and specialized weight loss support to help clients overcome the emotional and behavioral barriers that prevent lasting success. We understand that weight struggles are often symptoms of deeper issues like anxiety, depression, or trauma.
Our multidisciplinary team includes psychiatrists who can prescribe medications and licensed therapists who specialize in eating behaviors and body image issues. We work with clients to identify and treat mental health conditions that may be contributing to weight gain, such as depression-related overeating, anxiety-driven food choices, or medication side effects that affect metabolism. Our integrated approach ensures that your mental health and weight loss goals support each other rather than competing for attention.
Services Offered
Our psychiatric services include comprehensive mental health evaluations to identify conditions like depression, anxiety, ADHD, or bipolar disorder that may be affecting your relationship with food and eating behaviors. We prescribe and manage medications that support both mental health and weight management goals, carefully considering how psychiatric medications might impact appetite and metabolism. Our counseling services focus specifically on the psychological aspects of eating, including emotional eating, binge eating behaviors, food addiction, and negative body image. We provide cognitive behavioral therapy techniques that help clients identify triggers for overeating and develop healthier coping strategies. Individual therapy sessions address the root causes of weight struggles while group therapy options provide peer support and shared experiences. We also offer family counseling when eating issues affect relationships and household dynamics. Our specialized approach includes treatment for eating disorders that may complicate weight management efforts, always prioritizing mental health stability while working toward healthy weight goals.

What to Expect
Your journey begins with a comprehensive psychiatric and psychological assessment where we explore your mental health history, current symptoms, relationship with food, and previous weight loss attempts. We'll identify any underlying mental health conditions that might be contributing to your weight struggles and assess how your current medications might be affecting your weight.
Treatment planning involves both psychiatric and therapeutic interventions tailored to your specific needs. If medication adjustments are needed to support weight management, we handle these carefully to maintain your mental health stability. Therapy sessions focus on developing healthy coping mechanisms, addressing emotional eating patterns, and building a positive relationship with food and your body. Regular follow-up appointments allow us to monitor both your mental health and weight loss progress, adjusting treatment as needed.
Why Choose Psyched To See You
Our unique integration of psychiatric and psychological services sets us apart from traditional weight loss programs that don't address mental health factors. Many people struggle with weight because of underlying depression, anxiety, or other psychological conditions that make it difficult to maintain healthy eating behaviors. We're one of the few practices in the area that specializes in this complex relationship between mental health and weight management.
Our team understands that you can't simply willpower your way through weight loss if depression is sapping your motivation or anxiety is driving you to emotional eating. We address these root causes while providing practical strategies for weight management. Our approach recognizes that mental health stability is the foundation for sustainable weight loss, and we never compromise one for the other.
Insurance & Pricing
Most insurance plans cover psychiatric services and mental health counseling, including sessions focused on eating behaviors and weight-related psychological issues. We're in-network with major insurance providers and will verify your benefits before your first appointment. Coverage for weight-related mental health treatment is often better than for purely weight loss services because insurance recognizes the medical necessity of treating underlying psychological conditions. We provide superbills for out-of-network insurance reimbursement when needed and offer sliding scale fees for clients with financial hardship.
First-Time Patient Tips
Before your first appointment, gather information about your mental health history, including previous diagnoses, medications tried, and any therapy experiences. Be prepared to discuss honestly how your mood, stress levels, and mental health symptoms affect your eating behaviors. Don't worry about having everything figured out, that's our job to help you understand these connections. It's helpful to keep a brief mood and food log for a few days before your visit.
During treatment, be patient with the process as addressing mental health factors takes time and often involves some trial and adjustment of approaches. Take your psychiatric medications as prescribed and communicate openly about any side effects, especially those related to appetite or weight. Attend therapy sessions regularly and practice the coping skills we teach between sessions. Remember that setbacks are normal parts of both mental health treatment and weight management, we're here to help you navigate these challenges.
