Eating Disorders
Jennifer Warkentin
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I work closely with several national eating disorder clinics for the treatment of anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder, and other feeding and eating disorders. We will review the plan with your healthcare team and create healthier associations with food and eating habits. Eating disorders are complex and require a clinician specifically trained in the treatment of them.

30 Years Experience
Online in Chula Vista, CA
Chula Vista is one of California's fastest-growing cities and sits directly north of the US-Mexico border, with a predominantly Hispanic population and a large community of residents who maintain close ties to Tijuana — making bilingual Spanish-English therapy not a specialty but a basic access requirement for much of the population. The city's location within the broader San Diego metro means residents have access to the full range of institutional mental health resources, including Scripps Health and Sharp HealthCare, while Chula Vista's own private therapy community has expanded significantly alongside its population growth. The city's significant Filipino community and growing South Asian population add further dimensions to the demand for culturally competent care. Military families connected to Naval Base San Diego also form part of the local therapy clientele given the city's proximity to base housing.
