Psychiatric Weight Management: Are Ozempic or Other GLP-1 Treatments Right for You?
A Whole-Person Approach to Weight, Eating & Emotional Health
Weight concerns are about more than just numbers on a scale. At Compass of Hope Counseling, we offer compassionate, medically supervised weight management services that take into account your mental, emotional, and physical health.
Whether you're struggling with binge eating, obesity, emotional eating, or weight gain related to psychiatric medications, our team provides judgment-free care using evidence-based medications, behavioral tools, and referrals to registered dieticians (RDs) for nutrional counseling.
What We Treat
We specialize in treating:
- Binge Eating Disorder (BED)
- Obesity & Metabolic Syndrome
- Weight gain from psychiatric medications
- Chronic emotional eating patterns
We also support individuals navigating trauma, ADHD, anxiety, or depression as they relate to disordered eating and body image.
Medications Options
Our providers offer both oral and injectable weight loss options:
GLP-1 Medications (Weekly Injections)
- Ozempic®
- Wegovy®
- Zepbound™
We are actively working with compounding pharmacies to provide affordable access to GLP-1 medications. These are out-of-pocket expenses, but the visit itself is typically covered by insurance.
Oral Medications:
- Generic and affordable appetite suppressants or metabolic boosters
- These options may be covered by insurance
All medications are prescribed and monitored by a licensed psychiatric provider with experience in both mental and metabolic health.
Nutrition & Lifestyle Support
Medication alone isn't a long-term solution - that’s why we offer referrals to registered dieticians for nutrition counseling. Our goal is to empower you to feel more connected to your body and more in control of your health—without shame.
Our Process
- Initial Evaluation (60 mins) We assess medical history, mental health, current habits, and goals.
- Personalized Plan Together, we decide on a course of action: medication, coaching, or a combined approach.
- Follow-Ups & Adjustments Regular visits to monitor progress, manage side effects, and update your care plan.
- Therapy Integration
If disordered eating is a concern, we strongly encourage therapy alongside medication.
Insurance & Payment Information
- Most major insurances accepted for visits
- GLP-1 medications are out-of-pocket; we work to keep costs manageable
