Why Choose Bariatric Psychological Assessments?
Bariatric psychological assessments are critical for patients preparing for weight loss surgery. These evaluations ensure that patients are mentally prepared for the life-changing surgery and support them through the emotional and psychological challenges they may face during their journey.
By offering these assessments, you can:
Expand Your Practice: Add a highly sought-after service to your offerings, attracting new clients and increasing your income.
Work Flexibly: You can conduct assessments remotely, allowing you to work from anywhere and set your own schedule. Whether you want to work full-time or just a few days a month, bariatric assessments provide the flexibility you need.
Support Bariatric Patients: Make a meaningful impact by helping patients who are navigating significant life changes. Many bariatric patients need ongoing psychological support which creates opportunities for long-term client relationships.
Create a Niche: Stand out in the crowded therapy market by specializing in bariatric psychological assessments. This niche sets you apart and allows you to focus on a specific population.
Increase Your Earnings: Bariatric assessments are a premium service you can charge higher rates for compared to standard therapy sessions. This means you can work with fewer clients while earning more.
