Eating Disorder Therapy for Adults

Trauma-informed, size-inclusive care for people struggling with all forms of disordered eating.

  • ANOREXIA IN ALL BODY SIZES

    Don’t let the stereotype of an “anorexic body” stop you from seeking the help you need. If you restrict your food intake and your body weight is suppressed, you may have Anorexia.

  • BULIMIA

    If you cycle between periods of binge eating, interspersed with periods of compensatory behaviors such as purging, restricting, or excessively exercising, you may have Bulimia.

  • BINGE EATING

    If you feel ashamed, embarrassed, depressed, or a loss of control after chronic episodes of eating large amounts of food you may have Binge Eating Disorder.

  • ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder)

    If you avoid eating certain foods because the texture, smell, or overall eating experience feels distressing, you may have ARFID.

  • CHRONIC/YOYO DIETING

    If you aren’t sure you have a full blown eating disorder, but know your relationship with food feels more like a rollercoaster than a peaceful embrace, specialized therapy can help.

You’re here because you want a better relationship with food and your body, but you’re at a loss for how to get there.

You’ve tried to break free from the cycles you

know too well, but you’re stuck.

Thoughts of food, eating, and body

insecurities are incessant, no matter what you do.

You appreciate the idea that “all bodies are good bodies” in theory… but you cannot find a way to apply it to yourself. (No matter how much #bopo social media content you consume.)

The food and body torment is too enduring…you can barely imagine life without it.

We understand how hopeless you have felt and truly get the quality of life altering impact disordered eating and body image issues have.

We also know that if recovery on your own was possible, it would have happened by now — but no one can go this alone.

We can help you break the cycle and reclaim the relationship with food and body you truly deserve.

Eating disorder therapy is for anyone (of any size) who:

  • Spends more time thinking about food, eating, and body than you want to

  • Has “food rules” (ie. good/bad, healthy/unhealthy) that make it hard to just eat

  • Swings between “eating well” or dieting and “overeating” or binge eating

  • Restricts groups of foods

  • Obsesses over tracking (ie. calories, macros, protein, etc…)

  • Obsesses over “eating clean”

  • Uses food to cope in ways that feel problematic

  • Feels guilt, shame, or fear when eating

  • Struggles with body loathing or shame

Our approach to eating disorders

evidence-based treatment through a social justice lens

We view disordered eating and body-image injury, particularly in folks with marginalized identities, as social justice issues that warrant a commitment to activism and advocacy. We also know that eating disorders are complex, often neurobiologically based illnesses that require a treatment approach backed by science. 

We draw from Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-E), one of the most effective treatments for anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and the like, and often  integrate elements of intuitive eating, mindfulness, implicit bias awareness, and self-compassion. CBT-E allows us to deeply understand the many maintaining mechanisms of your eating disorder and gently help you dismantle them, one by one. 

While we view eating disorders and disordered eating as problematic for the profound toll they take on individual and cultural wellbeing, we also get that they often serve an incredible survival function. It is not uncommon as we begin the process of letting go of deeply ingrained beliefs and behaviors that we are at a loss for how else to cope, to feel safe, or even identify. Together we’ll create space to discover your most authentic and liberated self, heal your injured parts, and build up a tool kit of coping strategies that align with your values.

Our commitment to the principles of Health at Every Size® allows us to affirm all bodies as fundamentally good and worthy of compassionate care. We get that eurocentric beauty ideals and anti-fat bias run rampant throughout our culture, and often intersect with our healthcare system. This leaves many folks questioning whether or not they are or look “sick enough” to seek the kind of care we offer. We strive to break down those barriers and create therapeutic spaces for anyone who wants to heal.
