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.

Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.
