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.

Eating Disorders
Dr. Berkeley Antonioli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, LCSW-C, MEd
The majority of my training and clinical work has been focused on helping adults recover from early traumatic experiences. Often, the traumas my clients are working through is rooted in early relational and/or sexual experiences that leave a lasting impact on their formative developmental years and beyond. I have found that these early experiences often impact how clients relate to their bodies, making body image work and the relationship with food deeply intertwined with healing.

Eating Disorders
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients struggling with disordered eating, body image concerns, perfectionism, and a difficult relationship with food or control. In therapy, we work on understanding the emotional patterns, self-criticism, and unrealistic standards that may be contributing to these struggles. My goal is to support clients in developing healthier coping skills, a more balanced relationship with food and body image, and greater self-compassion.

Pittsburgh's post-steel identity brings civic pride alongside the lingering mental health effects of industrial decline, with therapists frequently addressing grief, economic anxiety, and intergenerational family dynamics rooted in its working-class heritage. The city's medical landscape is anchored by UPMC — one of the largest health systems in the country — and the University of Pittsburgh, both of which maintain extensive mental health training programs and community clinics. Pittsburgh has a growing creative and tech economy attracting young professionals, creating demand for therapists who work with identity, career transitions, and the particular stress of building a life in a city undergoing reinvention. Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, and the South Hills are among the neighborhoods with the strongest concentrations of private practices.
