California Center for Healthy Living offers a team approach to helping your child with concerns around weight, health and body image. 

Many of us have struggled with weight and body image concerns since our own adolescence.  Now the pressures on our kids in these areas is even greater than it was on us, and we feel helpless in dealing with their pain and their questions—and in many cases, we haven’t yet resolved our own pain or answered our own questions.

We offer you help with the following:

• Ending a generational cycle of angst around body image and food by helping to heal your child’s relationship with food and self;
• Preserving your child’s self-esteem in a world that prizes thinness;
• Feeding your family so that you can sleep at night knowing you’ve done the best job as a parent you can;
• Learning the uniqueness of your child’s growth pattern,  determining whether or not a “problem” exists, and doing your part to help your child achieve his/her natural weight;
• Helping you and other adult family members identify and repair your own unresolved concerns about weight and body image. 

We offer a variety of services, ranging from group sessions to one-on-one program elements, to meet your family’s unique needs.  See “About Us/ Our Program” for more detailed information.  Also, see “For the teen” to get an idea of what we are offering your child.
