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.

Elizabeth Hammond
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
If your life has become a series of mental calculations and constant anxiety around food, I want you to know that recovery is more than just "eating better" or "eating more." It’s about reclaiming the mental space that the disorder has stolen from you. In our work together, we move beyond the symptoms to understand the function your eating disorder serves. Whether you’re struggling with restriction, binge eating, or chronic dieting, I provide a weight-neutral, compassionate space to help you stop surviving and start truly nourishing yourself—mind and body.

Lisa Botticelli
Psychologist, Ph.D., PMH-C, c-DBT
I'm experienced working with teens and adults with problematic eating behaviors, as well as eating disorders. My approach is informed by intuitive eating, focusing on attending to bodily cues and using data from the body and direct experience to inform eating related decisions.

Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
Eating disorders can involve complex relationships with food, body image, and emotional wellbeing. I work with individuals experiencing concerns such as restrictive eating, binge eating, or unhealthy patterns around food. Treatment focuses on addressing underlying emotional factors, improving coping strategies, and supporting recovery through a collaborative and compassionate approach.

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!
