Personalized Counseling

Change Starts from Within: The Power of Personalized Counseling in Your Weight Loss Journey

Losing weight isn’t just about eating less and moving more—it’s about understanding your habits, your emotions, and your relationship with food. That’s why at Columbus Regional Healthcare System, our Weight Loss Surgery Program includes Personalized Counseling as a core part of your care—before and after surgery.

We believe that lasting transformation starts from the inside out—and personalized counseling helps you build the mindset, motivation, and resilience needed to succeed.

Why Counseling Matters

Weight loss is a physical, emotional, and behavioral journey. Personalized counseling can help you:

• Identify emotional eating patterns
• Manage stress, anxiety, or depression related to weight
• Set realistic, sustainable goals
• Navigate life changes after surgery
• Build confidence and a positive self-image
• Stay accountable without feeling overwhelmed

Whether you’re preparing for surgery or managing post-op life, counseling gives you the tools to move forward with clarity and support.

What to Expect from Our Counseling Services

At Columbus Regional, our licensed behavioral health specialists work with you one-on-one in a supportive, judgment-free environment. Every session is tailored to your needs and may include:

1. Pre-Surgery Evaluations

Before weight loss surgery, many patients benefit from a behavioral assessment to ensure emotional readiness, identify potential challenges, and set expectations for post-op life.

2. Ongoing Post-Op Counseling

After surgery, counseling helps you adjust to your new routine, process emotional changes, and develop healthy coping strategies. It’s also a safe space to discuss body image, relationships, or lifestyle changes that may arise.

3. Goal-Setting and Motivation Coaching

We help you define what success means to you—and create an action plan to stay motivated, even when the journey gets tough.

4. Specialized Support for Emotional Eating

Many patients struggle with using food to cope with emotions. We’ll help you understand your triggers and develop alternative strategies that support your health and happiness.
