If you've tried diet after diet without lasting results, it's not a failure of discipline. Weight is regulated by complex biological, psychological, and behavioral systems — and for many people, those systems need medical support to change.
As a psychiatric provider, we look beyond the scale. We address the emotional eating, sleep disruption, mood disorders, and medication side effects that often drive weight gain — and we build a plan that works with your whole self, not just your calorie count.
What we look at
Emotional Eating
Stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma can all drive eating patterns that have nothing to do with hunger. We address the root emotional causes, not just the behavior.
Mood Disorders
Depression and anxiety are strongly linked to weight gain. Treating the underlying psychiatric condition often makes weight management significantly more achievable.
Sleep & Metabolism
Poor sleep disrupts the hormones that regulate hunger and satiety. Addressing sleep disorders is a core part of our weight management approach.
Medication Side Effects
Many psychiatric medications contribute to weight gain. We carefully evaluate your regimen and explore alternatives or adjuncts that minimize metabolic impact.
Binge Eating Disorder
BED is the most common eating disorder in the US and is frequently undiagnosed. It responds well to a combination of psychiatric treatment and behavioral support.
Hormonal & Biological Factors
Thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, and other biological factors can make weight loss feel impossible. We coordinate with your primary care team to address these.
Our approach
We combine evidence-based psychiatric care with practical lifestyle support — tailored to you.
Medication Management
FDA-approved weight management medications — including GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide — can be highly effective when combined with behavioral support. We evaluate whether medication is appropriate for your situation and monitor your response closely.
Psychiatric Treatment
Treating underlying depression, anxiety, ADHD, or trauma often removes the biggest barriers to sustainable weight loss. We address the whole picture, not just the symptom.
Behavioral & Lifestyle Guidance
We work with you on sleep hygiene, stress management, and behavioral strategies that support lasting change — and coordinate with dietitians, therapists, and primary care providers as needed.
