Eating Disorders therapists in Saint Charles, Maryland MD
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.
