Eating Disorder Therapy
As a Health at Every Size (HAES) therapist, I promote body acceptance and support clients in pursuing holistic health goals independent of weight. My approach emphasizes self-care, respect for diverse body sizes, and the importance of mental and physical well-being. I work well with clients who are ready to make a change in their life and live a life free from their eating disorder. Overall, eating disorders come in a variety of symptoms and presentations but freedom from a difficult relationship with your body and food is possible!
Individual therapy for eating disorders provides crucial support for individuals struggling with issues such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, or other related conditions. It offers a safe space to explore underlying emotional and psychological factors contributing to disordered eating behaviors such as feeling a sense of control or empowerment by engaging in eating disorder behaviors. Through evidence-based approaches therapy aims to challenge distorted thoughts about food, body image, and self-worth. Sessions focus on developing healthy coping strategies, enhancing self-esteem, and fostering a positive relationship with food and body. Ultimately, individual therapy individual therapy is a crucial part to eating disorder recovery.
When an eating disorder or disordered eating are present, research shows that working with a therapist, dietician and medical doctor is best practice. With your permission, we will consult to ensure we are providing the best care for you. I am also more than happy to connect you to a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist dietician or medical doctor if you do not have a team set up yet! I would be honored to walk alongside you in this journey towards healing!
