Bariatric Evaluation

Bariatric Pre-Surgery
Evaluations

Surgical transformation starts with mental preparation. At Advanced Client Care, we offer compassionate, clinically sound psychological evaluations to support your bariatric surgery process.

These evaluations are designed to assess emotional readiness, highlight your strengths, and provide insight into how therapy can support long-term success.

Bariatric Evaluation

Respectful, Empowering — Not Clinical or Cold

We aim to make this process respectful and empowering — not clinical or cold. After your two telehealth sessions, your therapist will complete a personalized evaluation. Once everything is reviewed, our admin team will finalize your report and send it directly to your surgeon or healthcare provider — so you can focus on what comes next, feeling supported every step of the way.

Planning Ahead

We talk through life after surgery — habits, relationships, coping tools — and complete the required evaluation paperwork.

All sessions are 100% virtual, confidential, and tailored to your pace.
