Stacey Hellman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
I include eating disorder behavior in the category of "self-harm" or "addictions" and treat them the same way as I treat any addictive behavior. I believe that addictive behaviors have underlying meanings and I can help clients understand and decode what those meanings are for any particular behavior. For example, food-restricting behavior (commonly referred to as Anorexia) always has to do with trying to gain a sense of control when other areas of the clients life are totally out of control. I'm constantly saying "it's not really about the food" because there are always deeper issues that need to be addressed and the behavior is just a symptom, it's not the real problem. I don't believe in any kind of calorie counting, food measuring, or focusing on weight for clients with eating disorder behavior. Instead I focus on what the behavior is TELLING us, and what needs are trying to be met by engaging in the behavior.

Hypnotherapist, CHt
Eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder, are complex mental health conditions characterized by unhealthy relationships with food, body image, and weight. Traditional treatments often involve psychotherapy, nutritional counseling, and medical management. However, hypnotherapy has emerged as a complementary therapeutic approach that may help individuals address the underlying psychological factors contributing to disordered eating.

Marina Harris, Bloom Psychology Group
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P, CMPC
Eating disorders are among the most complex and serious mental health conditions, and they deserve specialized, compassionate care. I work with adolescents, young adults, and their families navigating anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, and related concerns. My approach is evidence-based and weight-inclusive, with a focus on healing the relationship with food and body rather than just managing symptoms. I have a specialty area in athletes and am well-aware of aesthetic and performance concerns among athletes and performing artists. I also offer Family-Based Treatment (FBT) for parents supporting a teen in recovery. I believe full recovery is possible, and have seen it in many of my clients over the past 10+ years!
