Empowered Wellbeing, Decolonizing Intersectional and Integrative Complex Trauma & Dissociation Recovery Support
Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
Many eating disorders co-occur with trauma, depression and enmeshment with abusive systems or individuals, so we offer support for recovering from these complex experiences as part of addiction recovery. Addiction and restriction recovery includes deeply compassionate work with IFS, Polyvagal and Addiction Circles mapping to develop awareness and work through both original trauma based adaptations and compounded adaptive behavior. Utilizing this novel approach, recovery can be a path to deeper self care, compassion and meaning and can reveal more ease and connection with others. From a functional health perspective, common dietary trends, challenging factory farming practices, and environmental toxins can also play a role in setting on and deepening and ED or disordered eating. So sometimes addressing a nutritional deficiency or chemical toxin may be important to do in a way that is sensitive to the psychology of living with an ED. Over time many clients may move into a next phase of becoming more broad in their dietary choices and/or lovingly becoming friends with their body, goals can vary. If the ED is a compulsion, we can also apply remote TCM, CranioSacral and Functional or Integrative support if asked for. Please feel free to ask if you have questions.

Eating Disorders
Amber McKinney-Morgan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
Eating disorders are complex and often rooted in deeper emotional, relational, and cultural experiences. I take a nonjudgmental, whole-person approach that addresses both behaviors and the underlying patterns driving them. Together, we work toward a more peaceful relationship with food, body, and self, integrating evidence-based approaches with compassionate, individualized care.

Eating Disorders
Dr. Glenn Francis
Marriage and Family Therapist, Psy.D., MFT
Our emotional relationship with food is a powerful path of self-development if we find ourselves walking upon it. "The path of food" is a different way of viewing struggles with emotional eating, a way that is hard work, but extraordinarily illuminating of some of the deepest parts of ourselves. Struggles with food and eating are not accidents, nor are they pathology, but the yearning in the depth of ourselves to find freedom and ease in life. Accompaniment by another who knows this path can be extraordinarily helpful and comforting as you walk the way of food.

Daniel Slavin
Marriage and Family Therapist
I work with eating concerns as expressions of deeper emotional and relational struggles rather than just behaviors to control. Therapy focuses on increasing self-understanding, reducing shame, and developing a healthier and more compassionate relationship with food and the body.
