Understanding Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are not choices or phases, they are complex mental health conditions that often develop alongside anxiety, OCD, trauma, perfectionism, or chronic stress.
They affect how you think about food, weight, body image, and control, and can take over daily life.
Common signs include:
Obsessive thoughts about food, weight, or body image
Restricting food or avoiding entire food groups
Binge eating or emotional eating
Purging, overexercise, or compensatory behaviors
Intense guilt or shame around eating
Fear of weight gain
Rigid rules or rituals around meals

Our Approach to Eating Disorder Treatment:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT‑E)
CBT‑E helps challenge rigid rules, obsessive thinking, and fear-based avoidance, replacing them with flexible, values-driven choices.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT builds self-compassion and psychological flexibility, teaching clients to change their relationship with distressing thoughts instead of being controlled by them.
Exposure-Based Interventions
Clients gradually face feared foods, body image triggers, and anxiety-driven rituals, building confidence and breaking avoidance cycles.
Body Image Work
We help clients cultivate a healthier, more peaceful relationship with their bodies, reducing obsessive monitoring and self-criticism.
Nutritional & Medical Collaboration
We coordinate with dietitians, physicians, and psychiatrists to ensure full-spectrum support for physical and mental health.
