Sarah Farnsworth
Pre-Licensed Professional, MFA, RPS
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.

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.

Em Rubenstein
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Therapy for eating disorders can have many different components and needs to be individualized depending on each person’s needs. I believe that regardless of the approach, autonomy needs to be at the foundation of this work; I will never tell you that you have to participate in any treatment approaches that are not a fit for you and your goals.
