CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
I specialize in treating eating disorders with a blend of compassion, clinical expertise, and a deeply nonjudgmental approach. Together, we’ll explore the beliefs, experiences, and emotions that shape your relationship with food and your body. We’ll work to understand why these patterns developed, not just how they show up, and build healthier, more sustainable ways to cope.
My focus is on helping you reconnect with your body, reduce shame, and move toward a relationship with food that feels peaceful, flexible, and rooted in self-care rather than fear or rules. Healing is possible—and it doesn’t have to happen perfectly or all at once. With the right support, you can create a life where food isn’t the enemy and your worth isn’t tied to a number or a feeling. I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.

Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Perfectionism and a lack of self-acceptance lie at the core of many eating disorders. I teach people how to unconditionally accept themselves instead of trying to obtain the perfect body. I also teach people how to alleviate stress and emotional problems which may very well give rise to eating problems and disorders.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
Depending on where you are in your recovery process, Somatic Experiencing can be a great supplement to ED recovery. If you've moved through the worst of it, you have a care team, you're eating well, and you're feeling stable- but you still have a hard time feeling at home in your body; you're still uncomfortable with feeling hunger/fullness signals or sometimes feeling ANYthing from your body, then Somatic Experiencing can be a great help.
Incrementally, step by step, we can start establishing a safe 'line of communication' between you and your body, so instead of feeling like a floating head, you can start feeling more of an integrated mind-body system.

Eating Disorders
Shannon Mick
Counselor/Therapist, NCC, LPC
Eating disorders can feel like a constant battle—with food, your body, and yourself—especially as an endurance athlete. Whether it’s restriction, bingeing, purging, orthorexia tied to “fueling” for training, or the cycle of guilt, shame, and compensation that follows, these struggles often rob the joy from running and daily life. The pressure to look a certain way, perform at a high level, or control one area when everything else feels uncertain can make recovery feel overwhelming.
In our work together, we create a safe, non-judgmental space to understand the roots of your relationship with food and your body. Using CBT to challenge disordered thoughts, DBT skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and ACT to reconnect with your values beyond performance or appearance, we focus on practical, sustainable steps that honor your life as a runner.
Many clients experience meaningful progress such as:
Rebuilding trust with hunger and fullness cues (using tools like the Hunger Scale).
Reducing binge-restrict cycles and food guilt.
Developing a healthier, more compassionate relationship with their body and fuel.
Improving energy, training consistency, and overall well-being.
Moving from rules and fear toward freedom and intuitive eating.
I regularly share free downloadable resources—including the Hunger Scale tool for tuning into satiety and hunger cues—that we can personalize and use between sessions.
You deserve to nourish your body without fear or shame—the same strong body that carries you through long miles and tough efforts. Recovery is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s work together so you can finish stronger, both on the trails and in your relationship with food and yourself.
