Welcome.

Melissa Lester, MSW, LCSW, is a therapist in private practice specializing in the treatment of Overweight and Weight Control. 

Melissa offers The Anderson Method ®, a proven and uniquely comprehensive therapy approach to changing your relationship with food, with eating, and ultimately, with yourself.  With The Anderson Method®, we achieve weight loss, weight control and lifelong weight management.

Her practice is located in Roswell, GA, just off Highway 9/Alpharetta Highway, with easy access from Route 400, Holcomb Bridge Road, Mansell Road, and Crossville Road.

Whether your goal is to lose 10% of your body weight or much, much more, it is important to recognize that the path to achieving your desired body weight is not about the food.  
 
For those who have had or will have bariatric surgery, it will be especially important for you to have the self-awareness and skills to make the necessary permanent lifestyle changes to maintain your weight loss.  By doing your work on the inside you will greatly increase your success at maintaining your changes on the outside. 
 
In addition to The Anderson Method ®, traditional Counseling is available to those who are challenged by depression, anxiety and stress and who wish to create change in their lives. 

As you read through these few pages, know that your change has already begun.  You are already doing something differently.
