Each therapist listed below holds a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and is certified as either a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) or Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC). With years of experience treating eating disorders, our team uses evidence-based techniques to help clients understand disordered eating patterns and take meaningful steps toward recovery.
Disordered eating can show up in different ways, from restriction and bingeing to food avoidance, rigid rules, or fear around eating. Therapy helps identify what is driving these patterns so care can be shaped around your symptoms, emotions, and goals.
Anorexia nervosa involves severe food restriction and fear of weight gain. Therapy can help address food fears, body image distress, and unsafe eating patterns.
Bulimia nervosa involves binge eating followed by purging behaviors. Treatment focuses on interrupting the cycle, identifying triggers, and building healthier coping tools.
Binge eating disorder involves repeated episodes of eating with a sense of lost control. Therapy can support self-awareness, steadier routines, and new responses to urges.
ARFID can involve avoiding foods because of sensory sensitivities, low appetite, or fear of choking, vomiting, or other negative outcomes.
Pica involves eating non-food items, which can create health and safety risks. Therapy can help explore contributing factors and build safer replacement strategies.
Rumination disorder involves repeated regurgitation of food. Treatment may include breathing strategies, mindfulness, and tools to reduce anxiety around eating.
Orthorexia involves rigid fixation on eating only foods seen as clean or healthy. Therapy can help soften rules and reduce anxiety around food choices.
Compulsive cravings can interfere with physical health, emotional well-being, and daily routines. Therapy can help identify patterns and strengthen coping skills.
Not every eating concern fits one diagnosis. Therapy can help make sense of unclear symptoms and create a plan that reflects your experience.
Eating disorder symptoms are not always obvious. Some people show physical changes, while others seem outwardly fine but feel consumed by food rules, body checking, guilt, or fear around meals. Recognizing patterns early can make it easier to seek support before symptoms become more disruptive.
Eating disorders rarely come from one cause. They often build from a mix of emotional, physical, social, and environmental pressures that make food, body image, or control feel harder to manage.
Common contributing factors may include:
It may be time to seek support when eating habits, exercise, body image, or food-related anxiety begin affecting your health, mood, relationships, school, work, or daily routines. You do not need to wait until symptoms feel severe to ask for help
Eating disorder therapy is not only about changing what you eat. It can also help you understand the emotions, beliefs, and routines that keep harmful patterns in place. Sessions may focus on building practical skills you can use between appointments, especially during moments when guilt, anxiety, urges, or body image distress feel intense.
Therapy may help you practice:
Recovery is not a straight line, but knowing what to expect can make the first step feel less uncertain. Your therapist will take time to understand your symptoms, fears, health concerns, daily routines, and what kind of support feels realistic rather than overwhelming.
Your care may include CBT, DBT-informed skills, mindfulness, gradual exposure work, body image support, and coping strategies for anxiety, trauma, depression, or PTSD when those concerns are part of the picture. From there, the plan can be adjusted as your needs change.
