My Approach to Helping
THIS PROVIDER ONLY ACCEPTS PATIENTS WHO ARE PREPARING FOR BARIATRIC SURGERY OR FOR THERAPY AFTER BARIATRIC SURGERY.
Hello! My name is Dr. Julie Oliveira-Payton. I love to help people decide, prepare for, and celebrate their decision to have bariatric surgery. I have a doctoral degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California and a Master's degree from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. I am also board-certified as a Bariatric Counselor and hold a License in Clinical Social Work.
Through a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, and Supportive Counseling, we'll work together to help you prepare for bariatric surgery and post-surgery follow-up.
