Eating Disorders
Mary Knoblock, DNH
Hypnotherapist, DNH, RTT Practitioner, Hypnotist, Holistic Naturopath Practitioner, Spiritual Counselor
I work with clients to find root causes of their eating disorders and help them get better. I’m specializing in eating disorders currently and am seeing fantastic results with using RTT Rapid Transformation Therapy for eating disorders. It can lead to greater appetite around meal time, increased coping skills and feeling less anxious about food.

Eating Disorders
Mona Saba Valeriano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I take a psychodynamic and IFS approach to understanding the roots of eating disorders in the clients I work with. Patterns of anorexia, bulimia, or binge-eating disorder are often complex coping strategies that emerge in response to developmental trauma. For example, clients with anorexia may be seeking control in the face of a domineering parent, those with bulimia may be processing underlying rage, and clients with binge-eating disorder may be internalizing parental criticisms or projections.
I believe that lasting change requires addressing the underlying emotional and relational dynamics that fuel the disorder. By exploring these deeper currents, we can begin to loosen the attachment to compulsive behaviors and support clients in developing a more compassionate and integrated relationship with themselves.

Dr. Lynne Logan
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
An eating disorder can be viewed as a form of 'addiction'. Often, there are underlying causes for one to turn to a toxic relationship with food or body image distortion. With obesity, anorexia or bulimia, health is often compromised.

Eating Disorders
Sarah Jane Thomas
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
A lot of people I work with have spent years following diets or eating plans that were praised as "healthy" by everyone around them, even though it was harming their relationship with food and their body. We will look at what is underneath those patterns together, with curiosity instead of shame. You do not need to have a specific diagnosis or a tidy label for what you are going through. Our goal is to help you feel less trapped by food rules and more connected to what your body is actually asking for.
