PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Lifestyle Weight Management©
This comprehensive 10-session program is designed to provide clients with the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve a healthful weight – and maintain that weight for a lifetime. It is common knowledge that diets are unsuccessful for permanent weight management. They are “finish line” driven, guilt-invoking, and not practical in real life. The dieting individual often gains back more weight than he or she ever loses in the first place. My program is geared toward anyone who has battled with their weight, whether over an additional 10 pounds or 100 pounds. I work one-on-one with participants to assist them in learning to manage the triggers and challenges that come their way as they embark on the journey of a healthier life. Together we work on developing a consistent activity program, a healthful nutrition plan that promotes weight management (while fighting heart disease, cancer and diabetes), and confronting the emotional, environmental and social factors that complicate these efforts.
WORKSHOPS AND SEMINARS
In addition to individual consultation, I offer workshops and seminars to both professionals and the community on a variety of topics. Please contact me for additional information.
PROFESSIONAL SUPERVISION
I also provide professional case supervision for those desiring to enhance their expertise in the treatment of eating disorders; these sessions may be conducted via phone or in-person. Please contact me for additional information.
