Please Note: Weight Management consultations are cash-pay only. Insurance is not accepted for weight management visits, and medication is not included in the consultation fee.
Weight management is about more than a number on the scale. Excess weight can impact physical health, emotional well-being, self-confidence, energy levels, sleep quality, and overall quality of life.
At HealingRoots Psychiatry, we understand that weight gain can be complex. For many individuals, weight changes may be influenced by mental health conditions, stress, lifestyle factors, hormonal changes, or psychiatric medications. Our goal is to provide safe, evidence-based treatment tailored to your unique needs.
Our Approach
We provide individualized weight management services that focus on sustainable results and long-term wellness.
Your treatment plan may include:
✔ Comprehensive health and medication review
✔ Evaluation of weight-related medical and mental health factors
✔ GLP-1 medication management when clinically appropriate
✔ Ongoing monitoring for safety and effectiveness
✔ Lifestyle and nutrition counseling
✔ Support for medication-related weight gain
✔ Coordination of care with your primary care provider when needed
Medication Options
If medication is appropriate, your treatment plan will be personalized based on your medical history, health goals, and clinical evaluation.
Treatment may include FDA-approved GLP-1 medications or other evidence-based options when medically appropriate.
Many patients choose to fill their prescriptions through a licensed compounding pharmacy, which typically offers cash-pay pricing. If you prefer, we're happy to send your prescription to your local retail pharmacy (CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, etc.), where you may use your insurance benefits. Please note that insurance coverage and prior authorization approval are determined by your insurance plan and cannot be guaranteed.
Prescriptions are provided only after a comprehensive medical evaluation confirms that treatment is safe and appropriate.
