Private Counseling

SOVEYA offers individuals and families struggling with compulsive eating and obesity. SOVEYA strives to help a person establish a healthy relationship with food, implementing a comprehensive strategy that addresses emotional hunger, behavioral patterns and physical cravings.

Rabbi Glaser’s approach is based on Torah principles for personal growth and healthy eating as well as proven tools adapted from recovery programs for compulsive behaviors. Rabbi Glaser, who struggled with obesity for several years, has personally benefited from this type of method and has mentored many others. He understands the central role food plays in the Jewish community and the particular challenge that it creates for many of us.

The program is crafted for the unique lifestyle and physical needs of each client. The counseling process consists of an initial evaluation and assessment followed by three 20-minute consultations each week – either by phone or in person. The program is newly designed for SOVEYA and is being offered professionally for the first time. There is no guarantee of achievement and the key to any successful self-help program is the willingness, commitment and consistency of the participant.
