Eating Disorders
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!

Embodied Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPCC, CIEC, CCTP
Eating disorders are my OG clinical training and background. In the age of GLP1's, there is a need for body neutrality more than ever. I have registered dietitians whom I collaborate with with folks navigating their relationship with food and body. I am an excellent resource if you are considering treatment or post treatment, along with continued care. I am a fat therapist who is deeply committed to fat liberation work. I will not prescribe or support intentional weight loss. Food is morally neutral. Bodies are morally neutral. You deserve to be here. You deserve to eat. You deserve to exist in the body you have.

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.

Eating Disorders
Chad T. Allen
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LPCC
I am a psychoanalyst in private practice in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, working with adults who struggle with eating concerns, body image difficulties, or patterns of restriction, bingeing, or emotional eating. Difficulties around food and the body often reflect complex emotional experiences that can be difficult to express directly, including struggles with control, self-worth, or relationships with others.
My work is grounded in the belief that symptoms develop within meaningful emotional contexts. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy provides a space to explore the feelings and experiences that underlie eating patterns, allowing a deeper understanding of how these struggles have developed and what they may be attempting to manage or communicate. Over time, this understanding can support a more flexible and compassionate relationship with oneself and one’s body.
I also work with couples who wish to understand how these struggles may affect intimacy and communication within their relationship.
