Emotional & EMDR Therapy Support Before and After Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery is more than a physical transformation—it’s a deep emotional journey. Beyond the physical changes, many individuals struggle with self-image, negative beliefs, and past emotional wounds that can surface during the process.
At A Resilient You Counseling and Consultation, we provide comprehensive psychological evaluations required for surgery and specialized EMDR Therapy to help you release negative beliefs about your body, eating behaviors, and self-worth. Our goal is to help you build lasting confidence and resilience—before and after surgery.
What happened to you matters and how you feel matters, because YOU matter.
What’s Included in Our Bariatric Support Services?
Pre-Surgical Mental Health Evaluations
Receive a professional psychological assessment with the required documentation for your procedure. We ensure you feel emotionally ready and prepared for success.
Post-Surgical Counseling & Emotional Support
After surgery, adjusting to lifestyle changes can be challenging. We provide compassionate counseling to help you navigate emotional shifts, self-esteem challenges, and eating behavior adjustments.
EMDR Therapy for Negative Beliefs & Emotional Healing
Many individuals undergoing bariatric surgery struggle with deep-seated negative beliefs, including:
“I am not good enough.”
“I will always fail.”
“I don’t deserve to be happy.”
“I am still the same person inside.”
These beliefs can keep you emotionally stuck, even after weight loss. EMDR Therapy helps you reprocess past experiences, release emotional burdens, and replace these beliefs with positive, empowering truths.
Support for Body Image, Self-Worth & Emotional Eating
Your relationship with your body and food is complex. We help you develop a positive self-identity, shift from shame to self-acceptance, and break free from emotional eating patterns.
Personalized Mental Wellness & Resilience Tools
Long-term transformation requires more than just surgery—it requires emotional strength and self-care strategies. We provide practical tools to help you build lasting confidence and maintain your new lifestyle.
Healing Is Possible—And You Deserve It.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. Your weight loss journey is about so much more than the scale—it’s about finding emotional peace, self-acceptance, and true resilience

Break free from limiting beliefs that hold you back from lasting change
Reprocess past experiences that led to emotional eating or self-doubt
Develop self-compassion and confidence in your new body and life
Build resilience to navigate emotional ups and downs with strength
With EMDR Therapy, you’re not just changing how you look—you’re transforming how you feel about yourself from the inside out.
"I thought losing weight would make me feel confident, but after surgery, I still struggled with self-doubt and old emotional wounds. No matter how much progress I made, I felt like I was still ‘the old me’ on the inside. Working with A Resilient You Counseling and doing EMDR therapy changed everything. I finally let go of the guilt, shame, and negative beliefs I carried for years. Now, I truly believe I am worthy of happiness, health, and self-love. This was the missing piece in my journey."
