Weight is a complicated issue. We are surrounded by advertisements about what bodies should look like, messages that reinforce negative feelings and shame. You may want to lose weight for health reasons, or you may just want to feel better about yourself and your body. Weight loss therapists can help you set goals, change behaviors, and discover love for your body no matter what it looks like.

Often, the inability to lose weight is connected to an underlying mental issue, which leads people to explore behavioral health treatment. Weight loss therapy can help reveal your barriers to weight loss and provide you with tools to help you reach your weight loss goals. Wherever you are located in Iowa from Ames to West Des Moines or even Des Moines, or anywhere else nearby, Mental Health Match can help you easily find an experienced therapist or counselor who best meets your needs.
