Eating Disorders Therapists in Davenport, IA

Eating disorders frequently have their roots in childhood experiences. My knowledge and training in working with childhood attachment issues and wounds allows me to utilize EMDR and Internal Family Systems to bring healing and resolution of eating disorders.

Eating disorders are unhealthy and undesirable. I treat you with Dicit hypnotherapy and help you recover. Patients with this disorder are getting resilient and recovering in no time. I modify the way they think and behave about food.

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.

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.

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.

Davenport is the largest of the Quad Cities—alongside Bettendorf in Iowa and Rock Island and Moline across the Mississippi River in Illinois—a bi-state metropolitan area with an industrial and agricultural character, and its mental health landscape reflects the economic transitions of the upper Midwest's manufacturing belt alongside the specific challenges of a river city with significant disparities between more affluent and poorer neighborhoods. UnityPoint Health and Genesis Health System provide behavioral health services, and St. Ambrose University contributes to the regional education landscape. The Quad Cities, like many Midwest river cities, have been significantly affected by methamphetamine and opioid use, and substance use treatment is an important component of local mental health care. Common therapy concerns include economic stress tied to manufacturing sector change, anxiety, family and relationship difficulties, substance use and recovery, and the mental health challenges of navigating persistent economic uncertainty in the upper Midwest.
