Health Psychology Services
The Health Psychology service at UI Health currently provides pre- and post-operative psychological services to bariatric surgery patients. Our goal is to help support patients in making healthy lifestyle changes to prepare them for bariatric surgery and to assist them in maintaining these changes long-term.
If you are a pre-surgical bariatric patient at UI Health, the bariatric team will forward your information to the Health Psychology service, and you will be contacted by Health Psychology to schedule your evaluation.
Treatment Approach
The first step is an evaluation of a client's biological, psychological, and social factors. Results will help our team develop an individualized treatment plan to help the client cope with or adjust to the problems they are facing.
Many clients are struggling to manage stressful medical situations that arise from anxiety, depression, marital/family problems, end-of life issues, or difficult lifestyle adjustments. Others find it hard to comply with medical regimens, or they need an evaluation before making treatment decisions.
Our goal is to help clients improve their quality of life. We aim to help each client find new and better ways of coping, and to find new ways of behaving and thinking to help manage issues.
Individual therapy is sometimes recommended to help clients work on specific areas. Other available services include:
- Evaluation and preparation for weight-loss surgery
- Treatment for insomnia and other sleep problems
- Stem cell or organ transplant preparation
