Waw Mind And Body
Weight Loss Clinic in Colgate, Wisconsin
About Waw Mind And Body
Waw Mind And Body takes a holistic approach to weight loss by addressing both the physical and psychological aspects that contribute to weight management challenges. Our Colgate facility combines medical weight loss treatments with mental health support to create comprehensive programs that address the root causes of weight gain and eating behaviors.
We recognize that successful, lasting weight loss requires more than just diet changes or medications. Our integrated model combines psychiatric expertise with weight management strategies to help clients overcome emotional eating, stress-related weight gain, and other psychological barriers that have prevented success in the past.
Services Offered
Our comprehensive programs integrate psychiatric care with medical weight loss for optimal results. We provide individual therapy sessions focused on identifying and changing unhealthy eating patterns, emotional triggers, and stress responses that contribute to weight gain. Our psychiatric evaluations help identify underlying conditions like depression, anxiety, or ADHD that may affect weight management. We offer prescription medications for both weight loss and mental health when appropriate, carefully coordinating treatments to avoid interactions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques help clients develop healthier relationships with food and body image. Group therapy sessions provide peer support and shared learning experiences. We also provide mindfulness training and stress reduction techniques that support both mental wellness and weight control. Nutritional counseling is integrated with psychological support to address food relationships comprehensively. Our team includes licensed therapists and medical professionals who work collaboratively on each client's care plan.

What to Expect
Your journey begins with comprehensive assessments that evaluate both your mental health status and weight management history. We'll explore your relationship with food, identify emotional triggers, and assess any underlying mental health conditions that might be affecting your weight. Based on these evaluations, we create an integrated treatment plan that may include therapy, medications, and lifestyle interventions.
Regular sessions combine therapeutic work on behavioral changes with medical monitoring of your progress. We adjust treatments based on your response and changing needs, ensuring that both your mental health and weight loss goals are supported throughout the process.
Why Choose Waw Mind And Body
Our unique integration of mental health and weight loss expertise addresses the whole person rather than just symptoms. We understand that lasting weight loss requires addressing the psychological factors that contribute to overeating, poor food choices, and difficulty maintaining healthy habits over time.
Our 5-star rating reflects our commitment to providing compassionate, effective care that produces real results. We take time to understand each client's individual circumstances and tailor our approach accordingly. Our dual specialization means you don't need separate providers for mental health and weight concerns - we coordinate everything for optimal outcomes.
Insurance & Pricing
Many insurance plans cover psychiatric services, and some may cover medically necessary weight loss treatments. We work with most major insurance providers and will verify your coverage before beginning treatment. Self-pay rates for therapy sessions typically range from $120-180 per session. Medication consultations and medical weight loss components may have additional costs that we'll discuss upfront. We offer sliding scale fees for qualifying patients and payment plans when needed.
First-Time Patient Tips
Success requires open, honest communication about your eating patterns, emotions, and challenges. Be prepared to examine difficult feelings and patterns that may have contributed to weight gain. Consistency with appointments and homework assignments between sessions is crucial for progress.
Taking prescribed medications as directed and monitoring side effects carefully is essential. Changes in mood, appetite, or energy levels should be reported promptly. Remember that addressing both mental health and weight simultaneously takes time, but the results are more lasting than quick fixes that ignore underlying issues.
