Dr. Rosen is a specialist in weight-related, nutritional and body image issues.    She will analyze your child's growth, metabolic consequences of over or underweight, psychological contribution to weight or growth status, and create a plan to meet your individual needs.  She will then coordinate and communicate with your pediatrician or other care provider to obtain input and provide feedback.

Tension between parent(s) and child over food/food choices can serve as one hook to get the child in.  “You know how you and I have been butting heads over food choices, Emma… I would like us to see this doctor to see how we can make this area less of a battleground.”

The fetus.  Seriously—if you are a parent with a concern about overweight prevention OR treatment, we will see you no matter how old your child is.  We will work with you to bring your child into the process ONLY when it’s appropriate and with your consent.

The messages your child receives from CCHL will all be very positive, and focused on health and happiness, not weight.  There is only a very gentle discussion about weight when appropriate, generally when it’s already been addressed with the child outside of CCHL—and only then with your awareness and consent beforehand.

In many situations, parents want and need help in navigating sensitive issues such as weight.  If you do not have concerns about your own weight, or do but are not ready to make a change, we encourage you to come anyway for THEM!  If nothing else, it can get help give some peace in the home around food and weight.  Just let us know where you stand when you come in, and just maybe you'll find something else of use for now or later along the way.

The answer lies in the fact that CCHL's program is a non-diet approach!  We give you tools and guidelines to permanently heal your relationship with food and get you OFF the diet roller-coaster.  Only through making peace with food is permanent and sustainable weight loss possible.

CCHL's program is unique in that it provides a holistic approach that really addresses the underlying psychological factors contributing to weight imbalance, eating disorders, or other challenges.  CCHL also stands apart in that its philosophies integrate the professional worlds of eating disorders and traditional medical treatment of overweight patients.

We view your primary care provider as part of the team, and will most assuredly keep him or her in the loop to the extent that you and he or she wish.

CCHL professionals meet on a weekly basis to discuss each client, so we can truly function as a team.  Each professional will know about each client prior to initial meetings—although questions that have already by one professional may be asked again by another, so each team member can process the information in his/her own way.

Success depends on your definition of success and on how much you or your family members are able to bring to the table to address the problems at hand.  When all parties are motivated and engaged, and a collaborative relationship can build with CCHL that endures over time, there will be success.

You know best how to answer that for yourself, but in general we advise that you start when you are ready, even if that involves an interruption.  Real life involves dealing with vacations and other “less than ideal” lifestyle opportunities, and we are here to help you with ALL of those situations.  Sometimes working with our providers towards a specific goal (such as a vacation), even up front, can serve as a good springboard to educate and begin goal-setting.

We like to maintain communication with our referring colleagues!  You can expect a call, email, fax or snail mail report from us following the intake process, and periodically throughout the duration of the program.  We welcome your input at any point--you know your patient best!  We encourage communication via email, and would love to have your email address on file.
