Eating disorder therapy for women who look like they are fine
Most of the women I work with do not look sick. They are competent, organized, and quietly running rules about food, exercise, and their bodies that they have never said out loud. Restriction, bingeing, purging, over exercising, tracking, and body image distress do not require a low weight or a crisis to be worth treating. They require someone who knows what they are looking at.
What I bring
I am a Certified Eating Disorders Specialist through iaedp, with eating disorder experience in residential treatment and outpatient private practice. That range matters. I know what higher levels of care look like from the inside, which means I know when weekly outpatient therapy is enough and when it is not.
How I work with eating disorders
Outpatient eating disorder work is a team effort. Once a release is signed I coordinate with your dietitian, prescriber, and physician, and I will ask you to have those people in place if you do not already. In session, we work on the function the eating disorder serves, the patterns underneath it, and the relationship with your body that the behaviors have been managing for you.
Who this is not for
If you are medically unstable, need daily meal support, or are being told by your treatment team that you need more than weekly sessions, I will say so in the consultation and help you find the right program. Outpatient care at the wrong level is not care.
