Weight Management & Obesity

 

How Therapy Can Help

 

One important concept of Dr. Kolzet’s weight management program is that permanent changes in behavior require changes in thinking.

Dr. Kolzet offers a skills-based program to help patients assess the advantages of weight loss and behavioral change, select a sensible diet and exercise routine, confront emotional eating, and prepare their environment so it is more compatible with their lifestyle. 

The majority of this treatment is centered on setting specific goals for yourself and remaining accountable for achieving these goals. This treatment may occur concurrently with treatment for other issues depending on your particular needs. 


Notable Benefits

 

Patients will learn a set of skills that are rarely addressed by primary care physicians, nutritionists, or personal trainers.
