Welcome.

Melissa Lester, MSW, LCSW, is a therapist in private practice specializing in the treatment of Overweight and Weight Control. 

Melissa offers therapy utilizing The Anderson Method ®, an effective therapy approach to changing your relationship with food, with eating, and ultimately, with yourself.  In other words, it works. 

You will learn why you relate to food the way you do, what is lurking at the foundation of your relationship to food, and most importantly, how to go about balancing that relationship once and for all.   
 
For those who have had or will have bariatric surgery, it is especially important for you to have the awareness and skills to make the necessary permanent lifestyle changes to maintain your weight loss.  Doing your inside work greatly increases your success at maintaining the outside changes. 
 
Therapy is also offered for those who are living with depression, anxiety and stress and who wish to create more peace in their lives.
