Your Partner in Mental Wellness for a Successful Weight Loss Journey

Undergoing weight loss surgery is a major step toward a healthier future, but true success goes beyond the procedure itself—it starts with mental and emotional readiness. Partnering with a trusted mental health professional helps you identify psychological stressors, emotional triggers, and habits like stress eating or unhealthy coping mechanisms, ensuring you’re fully prepared for the lifestyle changes ahead.

At Compass of Hope Counseling, we provide compassionate support to help you overcome challenges, build resilience, and develop a healthy mindset for long-term weight loss success. Our team helps you understand the emotional factors behind eating habits, manage stress, and embrace positive changes with confidence. When you feel mentally strong and supported, you're better equipped to maintain your progress and achieve lasting wellness.

Personalized Support for Your Unique Journey to Lasting Weight Loss Success

At Compass of Hope Counseling, we understand that weight loss isn’t just physical—it’s emotional too. Unresolved trauma, stress, and emotional struggles can impact eating habits and make long-term success difficult. That’s why we offer EMDR therapy, a powerful tool to help you process past experiences that may be contributing to emotional eating, self-sabotage, or a negative relationship with food.

Our counseling services provide a safe and supportive space to explore the emotional side of weight loss. Whether you struggle with self-esteem, anxiety, stress eating, or body image concerns, our therapists help you build healthier coping skills and confidence. By addressing the emotional factors that impact your habits, you’ll feel more empowered and in control of your weight loss journey.

For some, medication management can be a helpful part of achieving weight loss success. Mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, or ADHD can influence eating patterns and motivation. Our psychiatric providers work with you to ensure your mental health is stable, helping you stay focused, motivated, and emotionally balanced as you commit to a healthier lifestyle.

At Compass of Hope Counseling, we provide personalized mental health support to help you succeed before and after bariatric surgery. By addressing the emotional, psychological, and behavioral factors that influence weight loss, we help you create a strong foundation for lasting change. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone—we’re here to support you every step of the way.

What to Expect During Your Bariatric Surgery Evaluation

During your bariatric surgery evaluation, you’ll meet with a compassionate mental health professional who will assess your emotional readiness for surgery. We’ll discuss your relationship with food, coping mechanisms, lifestyle habits, and mental health history to ensure you’re prepared for the changes ahead. This process isn’t about judgment—it’s about making sure you have the support, mindset, and tools needed for long-term success. We also provide the necessary documentation for your surgeon or insurance provider.

If you need additional support before or after surgery, we offer counseling, EMDR therapy, and medication management to help you navigate emotional challenges, stress eating, or past traumas that may affect your progress. Our goal is to set you up for lifelong success by helping you build healthy habits, emotional resilience, and a positive mindset for sustainable weight loss and wellness.
