Frequently Asked Questions
How does the matching process work?
After you complete our intake form, a care coordinator will call you within 24-48 hours for a personal conversation. They’ll learn about your weight history, eating patterns, and mental health goals to match you with a therapist who specializes in weight psychology and behavioral health.
Do your therapists really understand weight struggles?
Yes. All our therapists have specialized training in weight psychology and have experience working with people struggling with weight management. They understand the unique challenges—from emotional eating and body image issues to the complex relationship between mental health and weight loss.
How long are the therapy sessions?
Sessions are typically 50 minutes and conducted through secure video calls. You and your therapist will work together to determine the frequency that works best for your needs and weight loss goals.
Do you take insurance?
We work with most major insurance plans. Your care coordinator will verify your benefits and explain your coverage during your initial call.
What if I don't connect with my first therapist?
That’s exactly why we have care coordinators. If the first match isn’t quite right, we’ll work with you to find a better fit. Your comfort and connection with your therapist is essential for successful therapy.
Can therapy really help with weight loss?
Absolutely. Research shows that addressing the mental health aspects of weight management significantly improves long-term success. Our specialized approach supports both your emotional wellbeing and your weight loss goals through evidence-based techniques designed specifically for sustainable behavior change.
How is this different from regular therapy?
Weight management creates unique psychological challenges that general therapists aren’t equipped to handle. Our specialists understand that your eating isn’t just about hunger—it’s about emotions, triggers, and complex behavioral patterns. They know that your body image concerns aren’t just low self-esteem—they’re the specific challenges of living in a weight-focused culture.
What if I'm not sure I'm ready for therapy?
Feeling unsure is completely normal, especially when you’re dealing with sensitive topics like weight and body image. That’s why we start with a no-pressure conversation with your care coordinator. They can help you understand what therapy might look like and whether now feels like the right time for you.
