Alexandria Theordor

I'm Alexandria Theordor, a New Jersey Licensed Clinical Social Worker (License #44SC05799200) and the founder of Body & Mind Counseling LLC. Pre-surgical psychological evaluations for weight loss surgery is my sole specialty, which means you benefit from a depth of focused expertise rather than a generalist approach. I work exclusively with New Jersey residents via HIPAA-secure video conferencing, so you can complete your evaluation from the comfort of your own home. You can be confident you will receive the correct bariatric assessment for your surgeon the first time, with no waitlists and a finalized report delivered within 72 hours.

My approach is streamlined, prompt, and centered entirely on preparing you for sustained success, both physically and emotionally. Because pre-surgical psychological evaluations are all I do, I bring a deep, specialized understanding of the bariatric journey to every session. I see each evaluation as an opportunity to understand your unique story, your resilience, your concerns, and your goals. Rather than focusing on barriers, I equip you with the insight and support you need to move forward with confidence. All paperwork is handled online for a seamless experience, and the full evaluation is completed during (2) 60-minute HIPAA-secure telehealth appointments.

Before your formal evaluation, you're welcome to schedule a complimentary 15-minute discovery call to connect, discuss your needs, and ensure you feel comfortable with me as your evaluator. Your actual evaluation appointment is a 2-hour HIPAA-secure telehealth session completed entirely online. During the session, we'll explore your emotional readiness, coping skills, support network, and overall psychological preparation for surgery. The goal is to give your surgeon a thorough, objective picture while also ensuring you feel informed and empowered throughout the process.
