Does this sound familiar?
You feel frustrated, ashamed and exhausted because you haven’t been able to get your eating under control. You try to “be good” by avoiding certain types of food only to end up losing control and binging those very same foods, over and over again. You may also be trying to make up for binges my throwing up, using laxatives or diuretics, and/or exercising. You may be hiding that you’re struggling from the people in your life because you’re afraid of being judged. You have achieved success in other areas of your life when you applied yourself but in spite of your best efforts you just can’t seem to “willpower” your way out of binge eating.
With Health at Every Size (HAES), Intuitive Eating (IE), Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), and other evidence-based approaches, I will help you cultivate self-worth and body respect so you can be kind to yourself and redirect your energy to what fills you with purpose and joy. I specialize in helping individuals who struggle with disordered eating, chronic dieting, binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, "emotional eating", "overeating", and unhelpful compensatory behaviors.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I approach the delicate issue of eating disorders with empathy and understanding, offering a safe space for clients to confront and overcome their challenges. By integrating holistic strategies alongside psychotherapeutic techniques like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness, I support clients in addressing the underlying emotional and psychological factors contributing to their eating disorder. We work together to foster a healthier relationship with food and body image, incorporating lifestyle changes that promote overall well-being, such as balanced nutrition, mindful eating practices, and self-care routines. My goal is to empower clients to reclaim control over their eating habits, develop positive coping mechanisms, and embark on a path towards recovery and self-acceptance. For those struggling with eating disorders and seeking compassionate support, I am committed to guiding you through your journey of healing and transformation.

Sarah Farnsworth
Pre-Licensed Professional
Eating disorders can be one of the most difficult things to process because of their deeply personal and oftentimes secretive nature. For those who have or have had an eating disorder, food is a highly charged arena, which can make otherwise neutral occasions -- social gatherings, dating, holidays -- tumultuous battlegrounds. It brings you into contact with a self you can't accept, nurture, or trust. I offer a space where we can safely explore these feelings, as well as the structures beneath them. This is a difficult journey, but you don't have to go it alone.
