Eating Psychology & Counseling

Eating disorders are often misunderstood by the public and may range from casual issues to serious health problems. For some, underlying concerns may be the cause of the behavior. We have specialists in eating psychology who want to help you understand what you can do to be happy with yourself.

Psychology is the science of behavior.  It is the study of how and why people do what they do. For people trying to manage their weight, psychology addresses behavior and thinking.  Treatment involves identifying eating patterns and finding to ways to change eating behaviors.  Therapy focuses on identifying self-defeating thinking patterns that contribute to weight management problems.

Two of our therapists, Lisa Trussell and Beth Vetrano, have experience in counseling eating disorders and were among a small group selected to travel to Phoenix, AZ, to attend a two-day workshop hosted by Keller Life focusing on this issue.  Please call to schedule an appointment with one of them if this is your area of concern.  Below is additional information about the Keller Life Center:
