Supportive Services

InnerSolutions Counseling Services offers individual, family and group therapy for people struggling with food, weight and body issues. At InnerSolutions, we help people discover why they are overeating or undereating and learn how to develop healthy relationships with hunger and food.

Because food and weight issues tend to be so isolating and secretive, it is essential for you break your isolation by reaching out to people who can help you. As you probably know, you can't reach out to just anyone, it must be someone who really understands what it is like to be out of control with food and weight and what it takes to recover.

Our hope is that over time you will build a support system in your own community. You can do this through individual or group therapy, support groups, or with understanding friends, family or other people who are in recovery themselves.

GROUPS

InnerSolutions Food, Weight, And Body Image Groups are a safe place to explore the issues underlying food and weight struggles. Part educational and part therapeutic, our groups are led by experienced therapists who have successfully dealt with food and weight issues in their own lives.

These supportive sessions take place through e-mailing. Simply fill out the "services" part of our order form and type in your first question to us. Within one week you will receive your first response. The cost is $40 for 3 e-consultations or $80 for 6 e-consultations.

To see sample answers, you can check out our Questions & Answers section. We will answer the number of times that you choose (3 or 6 e-consultations), and then let you know when your session is completed. You may do as many e-consultations as you would like as frequently or infrequently as you decide.

Visit our secure order form to order your first e-consultation.

Note: E-consultations are not intended to be or replace therapy. They are for information, suggestions, resources, and referrals only.

PHONE SESSIONS (California residents only)

Marsea and Andrea are available for phone consultations. You can ask them questions, explore stuck points, get feedback on a particular issue, or just talk to people who understand food and weight issues. The fee for phone sessions is $45 for 25 minutes and $90 for 50 minutes. Visit our secure order form to arrange your phone sessions. When we receive your payment, we will e-mail or call you to set up your phone time. Please specify on the order form comments section if you prefer that we don't call you on the telephone.
