Why Now is the Perfect Time to Lose Weight

 

Here is my latest article on the Huffington Post:

I think spring 2013 is absolutely the best time in history for you to permanently solve your weight problem. Here are the top five reasons why:

5) Summer is coming!

If you start now, you can lose 25 to 50 pounds or more by the time your summer vacation starts. Whether you usemy method or some other science-based approach, count on a much happier summer, feeling slim with a new outfit or two, a spring in your step and vacation photos you feel good about. Don’t put it off. Make a list of what to do to get started and make this the best year of your life. Put it off and you’ll miss a great opportunity.

4) There are more low-calorie, great-tasting foods available than ever before. The marketplace is exploding with new products to make weight loss easier.

The food industry has stepped up to the plate (no pun intended) and done………………………………

This is from Maureen’s website:

“I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor working in a private practice setting at the beaches.  My sessions are comfortable and open.  I utilize traditional and solution-oriented therapies with my patients.  I will help you to resolve trauma, eliminate feelings of anxiety and depression and deal with emotional conflicts.

As a Certified Practitioner in Clinical Hypnosis, I specialize in an exciting new form of treatment pioneered by Jon Connelly, called Rapid Resolution Therapy.  When something is traumatic it slams into your awareness and leaves a lasting impression.  This therapy eliminates the negative behavioral and emotional influence of traumatic events by leading the patient to the realization that past events no longer need to affect the present situation.  People stop clinging to thoughts that do not exist, and start living in the immediate present with clarity and hope. Rapid Resolution Therapy can help eliminate anxiety, depression and the feelings caused by traumatic events in as little as one or two sessions.

I am a certified practitioner in the Anderson Method for weight loss.  The Anderson Method is a weight control program that will help you to achieve long-term weight loss.  The techniques taught in the Anderson Method will help you to understand the dynamics of how to make life changes to begin to enjoy guilt-free, healthy eating.  You will achieve weight loss and a new feeling of being in touch with your true self.

I have tremendous respect for people who come to see me.  I work collaboratively with children, adolescents, individuals and couples.  I conduct both individual and family therapy sessions to help people feel at peace and develop new levels of personal freedom.”

Welcome, Michele J Gustafson, DCSW, LMSW!

 

Our newest therapist in The Anderson Method network is Michele J Gustafson, DCSW, LMSW. Michele obtained her degrees in psychology and social work from the University of Michigan.  She has been practicing psychotherapy since 1982.  In addition to being a Licensed Master Social Worker, she holds a Diplomate in Clinical Social Work through the National Association of Social Workers, which is the highest clinical credential awarded through the NASW.

In her Psychology Today listing and on her website, Michele explains:

“My areas of expertise include chronic, acute, and situational depression; anxiety and panic disorder; Weight control and Behavioral Healthcare: trauma of all types; family and relationship problems; grief counseling and life transitions.  I am experienced in therapy with adolescents, adults, and seniors and I am comfortable with men and women of any sexual orientation.

I practice traditional, insight-oriented psychotherapy as well as a variety of brief, solution-focused therapies.  With today’s busy lifestyles, most people are not inclined to spend many hours in a therapist’s office, preferring to “get better” and get on with their lives.  Clients tell me they appreciate this respect of their time.

My goal as a therapist is to create a secure environment where you can identify your issues and needs, achieve clarity, and make changes in thinking and behavior which enable you to reach your full potential.  I take a comprehensive approach to client wellness and consider multiple aspects of your life in choosing the method and direction of therapy.

I am a certified practitioner of Rapid Resolution Therapy™ and Clinical Hypnosis with Rapid Trauma Resolution™ and The Anderson Method® for lifelong weight control.  I am highly skilled in a number of effective therapy models, including mindfulness-based techniques, clinical hypnosis, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.”

You can lose weight this time of year and still have festive dinners with turkey, dressing, ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, a couple of glasses of wine and even pecan pie and ice cream for dessert. In fact, you can have almost everything you like this holiday season, even chocolate, and still lose weight. I know because I did it, and I’ve taught thousands of others………….
