Josie Munroe, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist
When you're dealing with an eating disorder, chronic dieting, or just a stressful relationship with food, it can feel like you're swinging between strict control and total chaos. It’s exhausting. But it CAN change. Your body doesn’t have to be your battleground.

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.

I have helped many clients develop a healthy DELICIOUS diet, exercise regularly, and release the past traumas associated with poor body image. The protocols for doing so are extremely reliable and effective. Then we go on to pull out the root causes of the disorders.

Santa Maria is a Central Coast California city in Santa Barbara County with one of California's largest proportions of Latino residents and an economy anchored by agriculture, oil, and wine production—particularly in the nearby Santa Maria Valley wine region—and the mental health landscape reflects the specific challenges of a working-class agricultural community where many residents are farmworkers or their family members, facing occupational health risks, economic precarity, immigration stress, and limited access to services. Marian Regional Medical Center provides health services, and community health organizations serve the significant uninsured and underinsured farmworker population, though the gap between mental health need and available culturally competent Spanish-language care is persistent. Common therapy concerns include farmworker stress and occupational health, immigration trauma and undocumented status anxiety, family and intergenerational dynamics in a community navigating significant acculturation pressures, and access barriers in a city where the majority population is often underserved by formal mental health systems.
