Our Services

At Greenlight, we approach weight loss and weight management through a unique paradigm. While you lose weight, we teach you the skills needed for long-term weight control and support you through the process.

Greenlight emphasizes a scientifically-based approach built around YOU and YOUR specific needs. With our help, you will understand and be able to practice the concepts needed to lose weight and keep it off for good.

Weight loss and weight management are very complex issues that need to be addressed from Biological, Psychological, and Social perspectives. Our intensive program helps make these issues make sense to you.

The Greenlight Program includes

1. IOP- Intensive Outpatient Program:

Greenlight members meet in a group setting of no more than seven individuals per group for 2 ½ hours each week. The IOP group meets for eight consecutive weeks. In addition, IOP members meet individually with a behavioral coach for 20-30 minutes each week.

The IOP consists of a teaching component, skill building exercises, check-ins, and a supermarket tour to help group members reach their goal of long-term weight control.  Our data shows that, on average, participants who have completed the IOP are maintaining a 40-pound weight loss after 6 months.

2. Maintenance Groups:

Greenlight members who have graduated from the IOP program can continue treatment in a group setting. By the time Greenlight members have completed the IOP they have been educated about weight management and have learned a variety of skills to tackle life’s challenges. The maintenance groups were formed to fine-tune the learned skills for each individual.

3. Individual Treatment:

Greenlight members will receive a 30 or 45-minute session with a Greenlight behavioral coach. These sessions will be personally tailored to meet each client’s specific needs.
