Elaine Klionsky
Psychologist, J.D., Ph.D., Inc.
I work with a variety of eating disorders such as anorexia, a preoccupation healthy food, bulimia, and binge eating. I see eating disorders as a type of addiction designed to soothe and fill clients with a sense of control and competency. While those suffering from eating disorders are often high achieving individuals, generalizations are difficult to make in a culture that encourages thinness at any cost and "looks the other way" at self-destructive behaviors when they propel us to meet cultural norms. I do not focus on calories, food charts, weight, or homework. I work with clients who are medically stable to enable them to find more adapting ways of achieving self-acceptance, autonomy, control, and a sense of well-being. Of course, wellness regimens including medical check-ups, relaxation, mindfulness, nutrition, exercise, etc.. are useful and sometimes critical in helping those with self-destructive behavior.

Nancy Hilsenrath
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW CASAC SAP
Eating disorders are serious medical conditions. Disordered eating can range from over eating and become obese, and some don't eat enough and starve, while others can overeat and purge. There is a hyper focus on body shape and weight. We look at the behaviors and begin to understand how to make changes.
