Pre-Operative Psychological Assessments

Often programs require a psychological assessment for surgery clearance. Anisa Grantham, a GA Licensed Psychotherapist and National Certified Addiction Counselor, provides this service for multiple facilities in GA and SC. These assessments determine if there are areas of concern that need to be addressed prior to surgery, thereby increasing the opportunity for successful weight loss maintenance.

Pre/Post-Operative Counseling

One-on-one and group counseling is available pre-operatively as the individual prepares for surgery. The decision to have weight loss surgery is significant and can be devastating when an individual’s weight reaches a point that they consider sugerical intervention. Post-operatively counseling offers assistance with the adjustments to their new lifestyle and learning how to get comfortable in their relationships with food, support systems, and society.
