Priscilla Batarse, MS LMFT CN

Hello, my name is Priscilla. I am a member of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. As a credentialed nutritionist and psychotherapist, I specialize in the psychological and nutritional aspects of bariatric surgery. I hold an MS in Clinical Psychology and an MS in Applied Nutrition. I am currently pursuing board certification through the Board for Certification of Nutrition Specialists (BCNS), which enables me to provide comprehensive, integrated support to my patients. I provide pre-surgical bariatric psychological evaluations, as well as counseling and therapeutic support before and after surgery. I offer in-person services for local patients, along with statewide telehealth in Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Utah. Weight loss surgery is a transformative procedure that can lead to substantial weight loss and improved overall health. However, this journey involves more than physical changes; psychological readiness plays a critical role in surgical success and long-term weight management. If you have questions or would like to learn more, please reach out through my website or contact me by phone or text.
