At Private Mental Health Group LLC, we understand that weight management involves more than just diet and exercise—it’s a complex interaction between metabolism, hormones, behavior, and mental health. Our medical weight loss program takes a comprehensive, evidence-based approach that addresses both the physical and emotional factors influencing your health and well-being.
Request an AppointmentUnderstanding Medical Weight Loss
Unlike fad diets or temporary fixes, medical weight loss focuses on long-term, sustainable results. Our program is designed for individuals who struggle to lose or maintain weight despite lifestyle efforts or who face health conditions that make weight management difficult.
Common challenges may include:
- Slow metabolism or hormonal imbalance
- Emotional or stress-related eating
- Medication-induced weight gain
- Postpartum weight retention
- Chronic conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, or PCOS
We treat weight management as a medical and behavioral condition, not a lack of willpower. Each plan is tailored to the individual’s unique body chemistry, habits, and health goals.
Treatment Options for Weight Loss
Our clinicians create personalized weight management plans that may include a combination of medical evaluation, nutritional guidance, lifestyle modification, and prescription therapies when appropriate.
1. Medication-Assisted Weight Loss
When diet and exercise alone are not enough, our providers may recommend FDA-approved medications to help control appetite, improve insulin sensitivity, and regulate metabolism. These may include GLP-1 receptor agonists or other weight management medications designed for safety and long-term use.
2. Nutritional and Lifestyle Counseling
We focus on developing healthy, realistic eating habits that are flexible and sustainable. Patients learn to make informed food choices while addressing emotional triggers and lifestyle barriers.
3. Behavioral Support
Weight management often involves emotional and psychological factors. Our behavioral support programs help patients identify stress patterns, emotional eating behaviors, and self-image challenges that can hinder progress.
4. Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustments
Our team provides regular follow-ups to monitor progress, track health markers, and adjust your plan as needed for continued success.
The Mind-Body Connection
At Private Mental Health Group LLC, we recognize that mental health plays a vital role in achieving and maintaining physical health. Anxiety, depression, and stress can directly impact eating behaviors, motivation, and metabolism. By addressing both psychological and biological factors, we help patients develop a healthier relationship with food and their bodies.
