Transformation Partner Assessment (TPA) – Couples Weight Loss Support
Couples Weight Loss Support Program
Welcome to the Couples Weight Loss Support Program by Dr. Amy and Roy Clark of Clark Coaching and Counseling. This interactive tool allows you (the person pursuing weight loss) to complete the Transformation Partner Assessment (TPA). Based on your responses, we’ll generate your Partner Support Profile and provide a customized action plan for your supporting partner. This is designed to help couples support each other through health transformations, focusing on psychological and relational dynamics.
After completing the survey, you’ll see your profile, key needs, and coaching recommendations. For personalized sessions, visit royandamy.com to book a consultation.
