Obesity affects more than just weight—it impacts metabolism, mental health, hormones, and quality of life. At Patients Medical in NYC, our Obesity Treatment Therapists use evidence-based, functional medicine strategies to empower sustainable weight loss and lifelong wellness. We combine medical oversight, behavioral therapy, nutrition, exercise, emotional support, and pharmacology for a personalized, holistic program—treating the whole person, not just the scale.
What Are Obesity Treatment Therapists?
Obesity Treatment Therapists at Patients Medical are licensed professionals who specialize in behavioral medicine, CBT, ACT, and emotional regulation skills tailored for weight management. They guide patients through cognitive restructuring, habit transformation, emotional eating, motivation techniques, and self-monitoring. Therapists partner with physicians, dietitians, and trainers to create cohesive treatment plans—ensuring mindset, habits, and biology align for long-term healthy weight loss.
We develop individualized meal plans focusing on whole, anti-inflammatory foods rich in fiber, healthy fats, and lean proteins. Nutritionists adjust for food sensitivities, metabolic rate, satiety cues, and glucose response. Plans blend Mediterranean, plant-predominant, or lower-carb patterns depending on your body’s needs and metabolic goals—optimized for enjoyment, sustainability, and healthier weight loss without deprivation.
Our therapists deliver structured behavioral therapy—CBT, ACT, and relapse prevention—for changing eating habits, mindset, and emotional triggers. Sessions include self-monitoring, goal setting, cognitive restructuring, stress coping, mindful eating, and problem-solving. By rewiring your relationship with food and motivation, you build sustainable habits that support weight loss and resilience against setbacks.
We collaborate with trainers to create movement routines that fit your fitness level and lifestyle—walking, strength training, resistance, and low-impact cardio. Exercise is tailored to boost metabolism, maintain muscle mass, support mood, and increase activity enjoyment. We emphasize consistency, progressive goals, and integration into daily life for sustainable long-term results.
When warranted, we coordinate with obesity medicine specialists to prescribe FDA-approved medications such as orlistat, semaglutide, liraglutide, and others. Medications are integrated alongside nutrition, exercise, and therapy. We monitor response and adjust dosage, ensuring a safe, synergistic, and personalized approach—enhancing metabolic outcomes and reducing weight regain.
Since stress, sleep deprivation, and cortisol dysregulation drive weight gain, our program includes interventions like mindfulness training, guided breathwork, adaptogenic herbs, sleep hygiene coaching, and short-term supplementation. Improved sleep and stress resilience support hormonal balance, reduce cravings, and foster mental clarity vital for lasting weight change.
Michael, 45, came to us with BMI 34, insulin resistance, emotional eating, and yo-yo weight loss. Over six months, he followed a structured plan combining CBT, meal balancing, weekly exercise check-ins, and semaglutide. He lost 45 pounds, normalized his A1C, and regained energy. Therapy helped him address emotional triggers, and peer groups provided consistent accountability—resulting in a transformation in health and mindset.
