Dr. Boz (Dr. Tim Ostrich) is a licensed psychologist working in the Decatur office of Park Center Inc., headquartered in Fort Wayne, IN. Originally from Johnstown, PA, Dr. Boz spent much of his life living in and attending school throughout the state of Pennsylvania. A graduate of Westmont Hilltop High School in 1993, Dr. Boz completed his undergraduate training at Lebanon Valley College in Annville, PA, receiving Bachelors in Actuarial Science (1997) and Psychology (1998). He obtained his Masters in Clinical Psychology from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania in 2000 and his Doctorate in Psychology (Psy.D.) from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 2007. He has been employed with Park Center since June 2007, obtaining his license as a psychologist in 2008. Professionally, Dr. Boz has been employed in Community Mental Health Centers since 2002 in both Pennsylvania and Indiana. His primary area of interest is in Total Body Wellness, focusing on the connection between emotional health and physical health. Specifically, Dr. Boz is most interested in the mental health factors affecting obesity, as he believes it is these mental health components that are most responsible for increasing the incidence of obesity, restricting those who are obese from losing weight, and affecting the ability of people to maintain weight loss when it occurs. His professional objective is to lead the fight against obesity with the hope of stopping and reversing the trend of increased obesity throughout the country. Personally, Dr. Boz comes from a place of experience when it comes to obesity and the mental health factors supporting obesity. As an obese child and adult, he endured many of the same taunts and negative comments from others regarding his weight. Not surprisingly, these experiences profoundly affected his sense of self, leading him to view himself as "not good enough" or "flawed" much of his life. However, he also realized his desire to live a healthy lifestyle could only be achieved IF he took care of himself physically AND mentally, as these two components are permanently linked. It is this recognition of the Mind/Body connection from which his Total Body Wellness Revolution was born. Dr. Boz's Total Body Wellness Revolution is still in its infancy.
