Eating Disorders
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.

Eating Disorders
Ashley Higgins
Psychologist, Psy.D.
It is incredibly brave to start the process of recovery. Whether you identify as having an eating disorder, disordered eating, recovered in the past, or just know that your relationship with food and movement is not what you want, you deserve support! I have been focused on treating individuals with eating disorders for more than 10 years, including publishing my dissertation research on eating disorder prevention.
I understand that everyone's recovery journey is different, and the level of support you need will be individualized. The foundation of my work is in CBT and DBT principles, but that does not mean that all of my patients receive a strict CBT approach. The first few therapy session are dedicated to coming up with your goals and identifying what treatment styles work best for you. If you have tried treatment in the past and something didn't "click" for you, you are not alone. You are the expert on what works well for you!
I also understand that eating disorders are almost never a stand-alone condition, and that chronic anxiety, PTSD, mood challenges, and chronic illness complicate the picture of recovery. It is my goal to develop a holistic view of what you want your life to look like in recovery, and develop skills to work toward that vision.
