FOR EATING DISORDERS & BODY IMAGE SUPPORT

Care for the Thoughts Food and Body Image Don't Let Go O

If a dietitian, treatment program, or medical provider pointed you here, it's because they know recovery needs a therapist trained specifically in eating disorders and body image, not a generalist learning as they go. We match clients with a specialized, evidence-based clinician.

Common Reasons People Reach Out

Recovery Needs More Than a Meal Plan

01

An Eating Disorder That's Taken Over More Than Mealtimes

Restriction, bingeing, purging, or rigid rules around food rarely stay contained to food. We treat the thinking underneath the behavior.

02

ARFID and Extreme Food Avoidance

Not every complicated relationship with food is about body image. Sensory aversions and fear-based avoidance need their own specialized approach.

03

Body Image That's Affecting How You Live Your Life

Avoiding photos, mirrors, certain clothes, or social situations because of how your body looks or feels. This is treatable, not just something to "work on."

04

Perfectionism That Shows Up as Control Over Food or Exercise

For athletes and high performers especially, control over the body can become a stand-in for control over everything else.

05

A Recovery That Needs a Team, Not Just a Dietitian

Nutrition counseling alone often isn't enough. We provide the therapy piece of a full treatment team.

06

Body Dysmorphia That's Bigger Than Not Loving How You Loo

Intrusive, distressing preoccupation with a perceived flaw deserves real treatment, not reassurance that doesn't stick.

Our Approach to Care

Evidence-Based Care Designed for Meaningful Change

We provide specialized mental health care grounded in proven, evidence-based therapies, not generic talk therapy with no clear direction. Our clinicians use approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), tailored to your goals, your pace, and what’s actually going on beneath the surface.

Expert Clinician Matching

You're matched with a clinician specifically trained in eating disorders and body image, not just the next available opening.

Specialized Care for Eating Disorders and Body Image

From ARFID to body dysmorphia to disordered eating, our clinicians treat the specific presentation in front of them.

Rapid Access to Care

Our intake team works to get clients seen quickly, often within a week, because eating disorders carry real medical risk the longer they go untreated.

Coordinated Care

We work as part of a full treatment team, coordinating with dietitians, physicians, and treatment programs when that's part of the plan.
