Quick answer: Counseling is where the plan becomes your life. Your counselor helps you with food choices, meal structure, sleep, stress and exercise, in a way that is realistic for your schedule and preferences.
How it works
- Starting point. We learn what has and has not worked for you before.
- Specific goals. Small, measurable weekly goals instead of vague resolutions.
- Accountability. Regular touchpoints so that progress is noticed and problems are caught early.
Important to know
Counseling here is education and coaching on nutrition and lifestyle, not psychotherapy. If you may need mental health care, we will point you to the right resources.
Questions
Can I do counseling without medication?
Yes. Counseling can stand alone or support any other program.
