Bariatric Surgery
Evaluations
A Thorough Evaluation by Someone Who’s Been There
As someone who has personally undergone bariatric surgery, I understand the emotional challenges, hopes, and decisions that come with this life-changing journey. That’s why I approach every bariatric psychological evaluation with compassion, respect, and a deep commitment to your success, not judgment or pressure.
This is not a pass-or-fail test. It’s a supportive, trauma-informed conversation where we explore your readiness for bariatric surgery, your relationship with food and body image, your current supports, and how you manage stress or change. Together, we’ll identify your strengths and any areas where extra support might be helpful, ensuring your care team gets a clear and accurate picture.
As a licensed professional counselor with specialized training in bariatric mental health evaluations, I provide detailed, clinically sound reports that meet insurance and surgical program requirements. More importantly, I do it in a way that honors your story and sets you up for long-term success.
If you’re ready to take this next step, I’m here to walk with you.
