Frequently Asked Questions

  • <p>After you complete our intake form, a care coordinator will call you within 24-48 hours for a personal conversation. They&#8217;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.</p>

  • <p>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.</p>

  • <p>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.</p>

  • <p>We work with most major insurance plans. Your care coordinator will verify your benefits and explain your coverage during your initial call.</p>

  • <p>That&#8217;s exactly why we have care coordinators. If the first match isn&#8217;t quite right, we&#8217;ll work with you to find a better fit. Your comfort and connection with your therapist is essential for successful therapy.</p>

They know that your body image concerns aren&#8217;t just low self-esteem—they&#8217;re the specific challenges of living in a weight-focused culture.</p>

  • <p>Feeling unsure is completely normal, especially when you&#8217;re dealing with sensitive topics like weight and body image.
