Eating Disorders, like all addictions and compulsions is about chasing a Self-Affirming Feeling. Whether that feeling is "I'm Me!" or "I'm the Boss of Me." or "I exist, I matter!" or something else, we can get to the driver of the pattern and extinguish it. And this is a big one, aimed directly at survival so it's not easy. Call me.

Ricardo Despradel
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC,LPC
I specialize in the evidence-based treatment of eating disorders across a range of presentations, with particular expertise in Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) and the more traditional eating disorder diagnoses. For clients with ARFID — whether driven by sensory sensitivities, fear of aversive consequences, or low interest in eating — I use CBT-AR, a structured cognitive-behavioral approach specifically designed to address food avoidance without the weight and shape concerns typical of other eating disorders. For clients struggling with Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, or Binge Eating Disorder, I draw on CBT-Enhanced (CBT-E), one of the most rigorously studied treatments for eating pathology. I work with teens and adults across diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients, and offer all sessions via secure telehealth across New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts.

Psychologist, PsyD
Eating disorders are complex, neurobiological conditions. Often times what leads to the development of an eating disorder is not what maintains it. The eating disorder becomes a coping mechanism that serves various psychological functions. Treatment consists of understanding the function(s), identifying unmet needs, engaging in behavioral change, effectively managing emotions, and addressing unhelpful thoughts.
