Your child's weight is the symptom.
We help you solve the root causes — ADHD, emotional eating, food addiction, anxiety, and family dynamics — so your child can feel healthy and confident.
Hear from parents who were in your shoes
Bev (mom): We both said we don't know what would've happened to our own marriage and relationship with our children if we didn't make this change. When it comes down to it and if you put a cost to that, there is no price tag.
Holly (mom): Looking at what our life could have been if we didn't make changes. We couldn't just coast in it any longer. Our life is gonna go towards destruction or towards health and life. And that was immediately apparent in the first session.
Thank you for really caring and being patient and kind. You have helped George more than I have in 16 weeks. And I have been around 16 years.

“Take care of the children, and everything will work out.”
Children are the future building blocks of our society.
If they are sick, the foundation of our future is sick.
We believe every child deserves the right to grow to their fullest potential, not be medicated into compliance or profited off by an industry that treats symptoms and ignores the root cause.
Kamy Moussavi
Nutritional TherapistAs an Engineer turned Nutritional Therapist, I know what it feels like to be the overweight child who is bullied, ashamed, and silently struggling.
My family tried everything to help me. Diets, programs, exercise, restriction. None of it worked because none of it addressed the real issue. My weight was a symptom of something much deeper.
That is why I founded Step Together. We help you understand what is really happening underneath your child's eating, so you can solve the real problem instead of fighting the symptom.
The people behind the mission
Every person at Step Together grew up struggling with excess weight.
We are not generalists giving advice from a textbook. We have lived your child's pain, we overcame it, and now we dedicate our lives to making sure your child doesn't go through what we did.

Meet Afeef
By age 10, Afeef weighed 225 lbs. The focus at home was always on what he ate, never on what he was feeling inside.

Alice never ate out of hunger. She ate to fill the emptiness left by an emotionally distant mother in a home where food was tightly controlled.

Melissa (Mom): It's 100% worth the money. I think that it's a small price to pay for a life-changing program that teaches you to be an example for your kids and to take responsibility for what's happening in your life.
Katrina (Mom): After a summer coming back to school or seeing people in town, adults would be like, dang, Jackson, you, you lost some weight? … at the football game someone asked "did Jackson lose like 20 pounds? He looks great!"
Amelia (mom): If you could help your child not go through what you did... it's worth every penny. They don't have to hide food. They don't have to binge eat. They don't have to feel like they're being made fun of. They don't have to be the last ones.
