Bariatric Counseling Center

Bariatric Counseling Center Behavioral healthcare for people struggling with over-eating, emotional eating, and weight-loss.

We are an Intensive Outpatient Program geared towards assisting people whose prior weight loss attempts have not been successful because their dieting habits were unsustainable. We focus on creating that change through insight and awareness into one’s relationship with food and developing realistic habits that you can sustain throughout your life. In our program, you will establish adaptive coping

mechanisms to reduce the use of food to cope with stress and emotions and eliminate binge eating and other problematic behaviors. We come together as a community to prepare and eat a meal at each session, learning new cooking and eating habits that support your success. You will do all of this in a community who understands the struggle.

Meet Gabby.

Gabby is a Clinical Therapist Intern here at BCC, and she brings a genuinely unique path to this work. After earning her master's degree in primate behavior and doing fieldwork in Africa, she realized how deeply she valued emotional connection in human beings and made the decision to pursue clinical counseling so she could help others and advocate for accessible mental healthcare.

In sessions, Gabby focuses on the relationship between emotions and eating behaviors, drawing on somatic, CBT, DBT, ACT, and Gestalt approaches. She believes the therapeutic relationship is the most powerful tool in the room.

When she's not at BCC, she's happiest outside, gardening or spending time at home with her cats.

We're grateful to have you on the team, Gabby. 💙

Mindful eating is a form of self-respect. 💙

It's not about following rules or getting it right every time. It's about pausing long enough to check in with yourself and ask what you actually need.

That kind of self-awareness is something our therapists and dietitians help clients build every day, and it looks different for everyone.

What does mindful eating mean to you? Share in the comments. We'd love to hear. 👇

Just because the scale is moving slower doesn't mean you're doing something wrong.

This is something our therapists come back to again and again with clients, and we think it is worth saying out loud here too.

The scale is one data point. It is not the whole story.

What has changed that the scale doesn't show? Are you making more intentional choices around food? Moving more than you used to? Catching yourself before old patterns take over? Sitting with a feeling instead of reaching for something to fix it?

Progress isn't always visible. But it's still progress. 💙

We would love to hear from you. What is a non-scale victory you are proud of right now? Share it in the comments below. 👇

Stress hits. Life gets hard. And sometimes we turn to food not out of hunger, but because we don't have another tool ready in that moment.

That's not a character flaw. It's just a gap in preparation.

In our latest blog, therapist Aaron Beltran LPC-A walks through how to build your own Emotional First Aid Kit: a personalized set of coping tools designed to help you regulate stress, respond to difficult emotions, and feel more grounded in your choices.
