About Us
We're a married couple, working together as Obesity2Balance. We are
both bariatric psychologists.
Betsy Ryland, Ph.D
I want to help you learn the life skills you need to for life-long
health and weight maintenance. 
I have been a therapist and educator for over 25 years, focusing on
women's issues, eating disorders, communication, and strategies for
coping with stress. I enjoy seeing motivation and excitement build as
you tap into your own energy for creating a healthy life. I see
managing your personal stress as essential to staying healthy.
In working with weight-loss surgery patients, I bring a heart-felt
sensitivity to obesity issues because of my own struggles with weight
management. It is gratifying to use my professional skills and personal
experiences to honor the preciousness of each individual who is
challenged by weight management. I have conducted psychological
evaluations and workshops for over 1500 bariatric surgery clients.
Greg Cox, Ph.D
From the time of my Ph.D. training at University  of Louisville,
my career has been consistently involved with medically related
psychology. I have worked with patients suffering neurological
difficulties (strokes, head injuries, and spinal cord injuries),
chronic pain and a variety of co-occurring medical disorders. I have
extensive experience in psychological assessment, diagnosis, treatment,
training, and presentation. My work has now been focused on Bariatric
Psychology for the past six years, providing you with psychological
support to increase your success with weight-loss surgery.

Both of us
Together, we have had extensive experience with teaching and training
so we have learned a great deal about how people learn most
effectively.
- Betsy got her start with training in the
early Human Potential Movement and has taught courses ranging from high
school sex education to university level interpersonal communication.
- Greg has developed and presented scores
of training programs from continuing medical education for physicians
to training units for the Department of Corrections.
During the 1990's we worked together to develop and present a set of
workshops-Soul Play for Couples, Soul Play for Singles and Soul Play
for Work-all designed to help people rediscover their vitality and
creativity for more playful and productive lives.
