Zoë Bisbing, LCSW

Founder and Director of Body-Positive Therapy NYC

You’re here because you're sick of being at war with yourself .

Maybe you’ve been told that you’re weird.

Maybe you’ve been told that your body is wrong.

You’ve long believed you are a “problem” to be fixed.

Attempts to shrink your body and mask your true self have been your best shot at fixing the “problem”; attempts to access the social safety and mental relief you crave.

Maybe it’s worked for a time…but you’re burning out.

You’re sick of obsessing about food, questioning your instincts, feeling defective, and permanently exhausted trying to “look right” and “be normal”.

Something you are doing isn’t sustainable…you can’t keep feeling this way… but you also can’t figure out how to make peace with your body…or food…or yourself.

But deep down you know you want to live a more authentic, more liberated life...and you're ready to try a new approach.

Here at Body-Positive Therapy NYC we believe the problem was never you.

We also believe it is your inherent goodness, wisdom, and originality that will allow you to heal and grow in ways you never thought possible.

We’ll help you unlearn body shame, rebuild trust in yourself, repair your relationship with food, unmask, and reclaim the quality of life you desire.

Don’t waste another moment wondering if a better way of living is possible…we know it is.

we are size-inclusive eating disorder specialists

We know people of all shapes and sizes suffer from eating disorders and we believe they all deserve access to evidence-based care. We deliver science-backed interventions to support your desired behavioral change and create plenty of space for you to be respectfully known. While we proudly specialize in issues around food and body, we are equipped to support you around other things such as trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, etc.

we are neurodiversity-affirming

As neurodiversity-affirming therapists we recognize that human brains are wired differently and believe Autism, ADHD, and other expressions of neurodivergence, are simply natural variations in human experience — not conditions to be "fixed." Unlike traditional approaches, we reject modalities that center “behavioral correction” and prioritize building a validating environment where clients can explore their strengths, challenges, and authenticity, without pressure to conform to typical standards.

we are body-positive

The body-positive movement advocates the acceptance of all bodies regardless of physical ability, size, gender, race, or appearance. Rooted in social justice, it is about much more than promoting positive body image in any given individual… it is about creating a more just world for all bodies to safely exist in. While eating disorders are greatly influenced by genetics and neurobiology, socio-cultural realities make healing incredibly difficult, especially for folks with marginalized identities. Our commitment to social justice informs the way we think critically about the work we do, the research we read, the unearned privileges we possess, and the biases we strive to unlearn.

We are firmly aligned with the principles of Health at Every Size®.

We do not believe that parents cause eating disorders, but we do believe they are essential to their prevention and cure. When it comes to childhood and adolescent eating disorders, early detection and intervention is key.
