Dietitian Services

Many weight issues are caused by some sort of trauma, whether it is a form of abuse, bullying, or problems in the home. In order to deal with trauma, children, teens, and adults turn to food for comfort, rewards, relaxation, and happiness.  Learn how to eat for survival rather than for emotional needs at Safe Place Counseling. As a registered dietitian, I have a unique outlook and approach to eating disorders and weight issues, and I work to help you overcome past challenges and learn how to manage your personal goals to become a better you. Together, we will pinpoint your weaknesses, set new goals, and overcome your issues in a reliable way. Exercise and nutrition can change not only your physical state, but your mental and spiritual state as well. Call to set up an appointment to start working towards your new goals today!

Exercise

If I were to write a prescription for all my clients, it would be “Exercise!”  Everyone knows that exercise is important for good health, weight control, combating diseases, improving moods, increasing energy, helps you sleep better, and the list goes on.  So why don’t individuals do it?

Most people say they don’t have “enough time.”  If you want to lose weight, you must have time to exercise.  It must be a commitment and a priority that you will do at least 4-5 times per week.

When you have anxiety or depression, exercise often seems like the last thing you want to do but it can make a significant difference. According to the Mayo Clinic, regular exercise helps ease depression in many ways including releasing feel-good brain chemicals that may ease depression (neurotransmitters, endorphins, and endocannabinoids); reducing immune system chemicals that can worsen depression; and increased body temperature, which may have calming effects.

At Safe Place Counseling, I will help you find an exercise plan that will work for you.  It is usually a simple plan that works with your schedule and budget.  You just must implement it.

Bariatric Surgery Counseling

Many people do not think of getting mental health counseling before getting bariatric surgeries.  Unfortunately, those that do not take care of the mental issues that caused the weight gain, will usually gain back the weight eventually.  Weight gain does not just come from overeating.  Food can become addictive and can be used to comfort, numb, or reduce anxiety.  It is imperative to take care of these issues before and after the surgery to ensure weight loss is permanent.

Most insurance companies require a mental health evaluation before bariatric surgeries.  Not only do they want to make sure you are physically fit for the surgery but that you are mentally fit for surgery as well. At Safe Place Counseling, I do assessments and work on the emotional issues that caused the weight gain in the first place.  I want you to maximize your success by losing excess body weight, becoming a healthier person, and improving the quality of your life to the greatest possible extent.
