Eating Disorders
Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Eating disorders are often misunderstood as being about food—but they’re rarely just about food. For many people, they’re tied to control, coping, identity, and the pressure of living in a culture that constantly sends messages about what bodies should look like and how they should be managed. These patterns don’t develop in a vacuum. They’re shaped by family dynamics, cultural expectations, systemic bias, and experiences of being scrutinized, objectified, or disconnected from your body. What starts as a way to cope can become something that feels hard to interrupt, even when it’s no longer working.
At Nour Counseling, we approach eating disorders with depth, care, and without judgment. We work with you to understand the function these patterns have served, while also actively building more sustainable ways to cope and relate to your body. This might include normalizing eating patterns, reducing behaviors, addressing underlying thoughts and beliefs, and reconnecting with your body’s cues in a way that feels safe. We also name and unpack the cultural and systemic factors—like diet culture, weight stigma, and dominant body ideals—that reinforce these struggles, so you’re not internalizing something that was never yours to carry. This is collaborative work focused on helping you move toward a more stable, respectful, and supported relationship with food and your body.

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
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!

Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in supporting individuals struggling with eating disorders and disordered eating, recognizing that these patterns are often connected to deeper emotional experiences, stress, and a need for control or coping. Together, we work to understand the underlying patterns while building healthier, more sustainable ways to relate to food, your body, and yourself. My approach is compassionate, structured, and grounded in both skill-building and mind-body awareness, helping you reduce harmful behaviors, regulate emotions, and move toward a more balanced and trusting relationship with yourself.
