Behavioral Health & Medical Weight Loss
Struggling to lose weight and keep it off? You're not alone. Traditional methods often fall short because they address only part of the equation. At Iowa Weight Loss Specialists, we take an approach that combines medical weight management with personalized behavioral therapy. This holistic strategy empowers you to break free from weight loss roadblocks and achieve lasting success.
As an accredited center for weight loss, we strive to provide our patients with comprehensive support and services throughout their entire weight loss journey. All patients who participate in medical weight loss services at Iowa Weight Loss Specialists have access to mental health services within the clinic. Patients have the flexibility to seek weight loss counseling at any point during the medical weight loss program. Alternatively, they may also be referred by a medical weight loss provider.
By combining medical treatments for weight loss and mental health support, the chances for effective and long-lasting weight loss are dramatically increased. Our behavioral therapists are here to provide support and address any barriers to weight loss that might be associated with your mental health journey.
Weight Loss Therapy Services: Here's What To Expect
As part of our commitment to holistic care, your medical weight loss provider might recommend mental health support. The medical weight loss provider and licensed mental health clinician collaborate closely to craft and implement individualized plans. These are tailored to each patient's needs, aiming for the best patient outcomes.
Common areas covered in therapy for weight loss include:
- Resolving emotional barriers to weight loss and weight management
- Establishing healthy eating habits for sustaining weight loss and developing a more balanced relationship with food
- Establishing healthy patterns of eating
- Increasing motivation to make lifestyle changes that help patients keep weight off and live healthy lives
- Developing strategies to increase accountability
- Overcoming challenges to exercise and helping you develop the right exercise plan
- Adjusting to changes commonly associated with weight loss and weight loss medications
- Fostering long-term change with combinations of behavioral therapy, weight loss support groups, and other non-surgical weight loss tools
Why is Our Integrated Approach Different?
- We identify the Root Cause: Often times difficulty losing weight can be from underlying emotional factors. Our licensed therapists specialize in uncovering these emotional triggers, helping you develop healthy coping mechanisms that promote long-term weight management and overall health.
- Personalized Plans, Proven Results: We don't believe in cookie-cutter programs. Our experienced team works with you to create a tailored weight loss plan considering your needs, goals, and preferences in mind. This may include nutrition counseling, exercise support, and recommendations to combat stress eating.
