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.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
Depending on where you are in your recovery process, Somatic Experiencing can be a great supplement to ED recovery. If you've moved through the worst of it, you have a care team, you're eating well, and you're feeling stable- but you still have a hard time feeling at home in your body; you're still uncomfortable with feeling hunger/fullness signals or sometimes feeling ANYthing from your body, then Somatic Experiencing can be a great help.
Incrementally, step by step, we can start establishing a safe 'line of communication' between you and your body, so instead of feeling like a floating head, you can start feeling more of an integrated mind-body system.

Sara Denman
Psychologist, Psy.D
Eating disorders are far more common than most people are award of. It can be your best friend and worst enemy. Unlike other addictions, giving up food is not an option, therefore, it can present unique challenges to treat. That being said, it is an issue which therapy can be successful for someone who is ready to tackle the eating disorder and the challenges that it became a coping skill to manage.

Oakland has a politically engaged, social-justice-oriented community where many therapists approach their work through an anti-oppression lens, specializing in racial trauma, activist burnout, and healing within BIPOC communities. The city's proximity to San Francisco means therapists here frequently work with the compounding stresses of the Bay Area housing crisis, economic displacement, and the grief of gentrification. Oakland has strong LGBTQ+ and creative communities, with demand for affirming therapists who work at the intersection of identity, community belonging, and personal well-being. Highland Hospital and UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland provide institutional anchors alongside a network of independent practitioners.
