Eating Disorders Therapists in Lafayette, LA

Our therapists are intensively trained in a highly sought after treatment, Radically-Open DBT (RO-DBT), a specialized treatment for Chronic Depression, Anorexia-Nervosa, and disorders of Over-Control (OC). Radically-Open DBT promotes openness, flexibility, and direct communication.

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.

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.

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.

It is widely accepted that weight loss, eating disorders, and anxiety are all issues that hypnosis is successful at dealing with. All have their root in emotional issues and the habitual way people see themselves and their lives. Research shows that most people who are grossly overweight have suffered some trauma in their lives leading them to holding on to excess weight and no amount of dieting will permanently change that without resolving those past traumas and changing habits and relationship with food. I see many such clients in my practice and we are able to find them healing and moving on to healthier lifestyle.

Lafayette is the hub of Acadiana and the cultural heart of Cajun and Creole Louisiana, a city where a deeply embedded community culture built around food, music, and social connection has historically provided many of the informal mental health benefits that formal therapy aims to achieve—but where this same cultural context can also make it harder to seek structured support when it is genuinely needed. The oil and gas industry has been the economic engine of the Acadiana region, and the boom-and-bust cycles of energy markets create recurring waves of economic anxiety, unemployment, and financial stress that drive spikes in mental health need. The University of Louisiana at Lafayette has a psychology department and student counseling services, and a growing private therapy sector serves the professional class and university community. Common therapy concerns include economic and career stress tied to the energy sector, hurricane anxiety, anxiety and depression, family and relationship issues, and the challenge of seeking formal mental health support in a community that prides itself on getting through hard times together.
