Eating Disorders
Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
Individuals experiencing Eating Disorders have an obsessive focus on food and are critical of their bodies to an extent that affects their daily lives. Age, gender, genetics, stress, and even certain vocations can lend to an eating disorder. For example, a runner or gymnast may be more disposed to an eating disorder – teenagers and young adults struggling with social pressures or individuals experiencing divorce or career changes are also prone to developing problematic eating habits. These individuals are generally attempting to cope with their overwhelming feelings and painful emotions by controlling what they ingest.
There are several types of eating disorders with varied actions and effects. Anorexia Nervosa is a severe restriction of food and overexercising causing the individual to become very thin and malnourished. Bulimia Nervosa is a cycle of binging on large amounts of food then purging the calories by vomiting, laxatives, and excessive exercise. Binge Eating Disorder (BED) involves binge eating without purging and they can’t seem to stop eating even when overly full, then they feel guilty and embarrassed by the situation. Other eating disorders include Pica, Rumination Disorder, Avoidant/Restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), Night Eating Syndrome (NES), and Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED).
An individual with an eating disorder can recover and learn to have a healthy relationship with food again. It is helpful to recognize the signs and get treatment as early as possible. Medical doctors should also be consulted in addition to a therapist to ensure nutritional needs are being met for optimal health and general wellbeing. Family support is also helpful, especially when an adolescent or young adult is being treated.

Cecelia Kowalski
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW - 22624
Disordered eating is rarely about food alone — it's often connected to control, safety, or self-worth. I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore what's underneath, working alongside any medical or nutritional care you may need.

Eating Disorders
Evolve Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Eating disorders are complex, neurobiological conditions. Often times what leads to the development of an eating disorder is not what maintains it. The eating disorder becomes a coping mechanism that serves various psychological functions. Treatment consists of understanding the function(s), identifying unmet needs, engaging in behavioral change, effectively managing emotions, and addressing unhelpful thoughts.

Anxiety Eliminated
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Health Coach, MBA
I have helped many clients develop a healthy DELICIOUS diet, exercise regularly, and release the past traumas associated with poor body image. The protocols for doing so are extremely reliable and effective. Then we go on to pull out the root causes of the disorders.

Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Finding peace with your body and food is a true struggle in the times and culture we inhabit. Whether you are struggling with full-on eating disorders such as anorexia, binge eating disorder (BED), or bulimia, or have a hard time finding a connection to your body and eating, there are tools and support for you. We have multiple resources including cognitive, trauma-based, somatic, and experiential therapies to begin the path of creating and walking in a loving healthy relationship with food and with your body. There are no one-size-fits-all approaches as eating disorders are most often the symptom rather than the root. Changing behaviors allow us to begin to see the power of 'embodiment' and how truly free and powerful you are to become......yourself.
