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.

Disordered eating is NOT attention seeking behavior. It is a real illness. Together we can overcome it, set some goals and make our bodies healthy. Food is fuel, not entertainment.

Dr. Janelle Louis
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, ND, PMHNP-BC
I address the emotional, biological, and trauma-related roots of disordered eating with gentleness and a functional medicine approach. Healing includes rebuilding trust with your body, challenging harmful beliefs, and giving your body the things it needs to thrive. Recovery is possible, and you don’t have to walk this journey alone.

Tucson's large Hispanic population — spanning both sides of the US-Mexico border — and its position as a university city anchored by the University of Arizona together define the city's therapy landscape. Bilingual Spanish-English therapists are in consistent demand, and therapists experienced with border-crossing trauma, immigration stress, and bicultural identity serve an important clinical role. The city's proximity to the Tohono O'odham Nation and other tribal communities creates demand for therapists trained in Indigenous trauma, historical loss, and culturally grounded care. Banner — University Medical Center Tucson provides institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community serving the Foothills, midtown, and the university corridor.
