Eating Disorders
Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Eating disorders can involve a painful relationship with food, body image, control, and self-worth. Behaviors such as restriction, binge eating, or purging are not failures of willpower; they often develop as ways of coping with distress, shame, trauma, or overwhelming emotions.
I provide compassionate, nonjudgmental therapy to help clients understand underlying patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, reduce shame, and develop a healthier relationship with themselves and their bodies. Because eating disorders can affect physical health, I support coordinated care with physicians, dietitians, psychiatrists, and higher levels of treatment when clinically appropriate.

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.

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.
