“She understands your struggles and offers the right amount of support and encouragement.” — Real Client Stories

Get to Know Our Eating Disorder Therapy Specialists

Our food therapists each hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and are certified as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) or Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC). They use years of training and experience to help you rebuild your relationship with food and work towards a brighter future.

Types of Eating Disorders We Treat at See You Through It

Our licensed food therapists help children, teens, and adults work through a wide range of eating disorders, offering support that meets you exactly where you are:

Anorexia Nervosa

Anorexia often involves intense restriction driven by fear, pressure, or a distorted body image. An anorexia therapist can help you challenge these patterns and restore a healthier relationship with food.

Bulimia Nervosa

Bulimia creates overwhelming cycles of binge eating followed by purging behaviors (vomiting, overexercising, etc.) that leave you feeling defeated or out of control.

Binge Eating Disorder

Binge eating disorder involves consuming large amounts of food rapidly, often during moments of stress. Many people feel shame or sadness afterward, which makes the cycle even more painful.

Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)

Instead of concerns about weight, ARFID is rooted in fear, sensory sensitivities, or discomfort around certain foods. 

Pica

Pica causes you to crave non-food items like dirt, paper, ice, or clay, which can create health risks over time.

Rumination Disorder

Rumination disorder causes you to regurgitate food without a medical cause repeatedly.

Orthorexia

Orthorexia forms when healthy eating becomes an intense fixation that takes over your thoughts and routines. This focus on “perfect” eating can make food feel stressful or restrictive.

Food Addiction

Food addiction includes strong cravings and compulsive eating, often used to soothe difficult emotions or stress. These moments can feel impossible to stop without the right support.

Unspecified Feeding or Eating Disorder (UFED)

UFED describes eating disorder symptoms that don’t fall into a single category. We’ll adjust our therapeutic approach based on your specific needs.

Understanding the Signs of an Eating Disorder

When your relationship with food becomes harmful, it manifests in your body, mind, and behaviors. Understanding the warning signs can help you get the early support you need.

Physical Signs

Your body may react to disordered eating with:

  • Sudden or noticeable changes in weight
  • Low energy or feeling worn out most of the day
  • Lightheadedness, dizziness, or passing out
  • Frequent stomach pain or digestive upset
  • Hair loss, brittle nails, or dry skin
  • Irregular or missed menstrual cycles
  • Feeling cold more often than usual

Behavioral Signs

Any of the following behaviors may signal disordered eating:

  • Skipping meals or pretending you already ate
  • Following rigid food or exercise rules
  • Eating rapidly or in secret
  • Purging through vomiting, laxatives, or intense exercise
  • Avoiding meals with friends or family
  • Cutting out foods for non-medical reasons
  • Constantly checking calories, weight, or body size

Emotional Signs

The emotional side of an eating disorder can affect your mood and sense of self-worth:

  • Strong fear or worry about gaining weight
  • Persistent anxiety around food or mealtimes
  • Feeling out of control when eating
  • Shame, guilt, or regret after meals
  • Harsh self-talk or a negative body image
  • Quick mood changes or irritability

Exploring the Root Causes of Eating Disorders

Eating disorders can stem from several different influences, shaping the way you think and feel about food and your body:

  • Genetics: A family history of eating disorders can increase the likelihood that you’ll face similar challenges.
  • Emotional Stress: Difficult emotions can push you toward eating patterns that feel like temporary relief.
  • Cultural Expectations: Messages that idealize certain body types can change the way you view yourself and encourage unhealthy habits.
  • Social Dynamics: Comments from others or constant comparison, particularly on social media, can intensify pressure and fuel harmful eating behaviors.
  • Life Changes: Major shifts in your routine, responsibilities, or relationships can create stress that impacts your eating.
  • Perfectionism & Performance Pressure: Wanting everything to feel controlled or flawless can spill into your eating habits, leading to rigid or extreme patterns.

Why Therapy Makes a Real Difference in Recovery

  • Develop Healthier Coping Skills: Manage stress without turning to harmful habits.
