Change and Maintain Psychological Services provides in-person appointments in Lexington, MA, and online appointments to Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire
I work with clients who wish to lose weight without medical assistance as well as those taking weight loss medications, and those who are preparing for or have had bariatric surgery. Medications and surgery are powerful tools to facilitate weight loss, but their long-term effectiveness is significantly enhanced when accompanied by behavioral changes.
If you have successfully lost weight but notice yourself slipping back into old habits, brief individual therapy can get you back on track and prevent weight regain. Numerous studies show that maintaining weight loss is even more difficult than losing weight. Getting support and guidance for maintaining weight maintenance can ensure your long term success.
For patients interested in bariatric surgery, I provide pre-surgical mental health evaluations required by most bariatric surgery programs. I also offer psychotherapy for patients preparing for bariatric surgery and post surgical support for weight maintenance.
