Emotional Eating and Binge Eating Disorder Therapy

You have been struggling with your eating, weight and body image for as long as you can remember! You look in the mirror and you are never happy with what you see. You have tried diets, exercise, purging, starving and other means to control your eating and your weight and feel good with little or no success.

Do you eat in secret? Are you ashamed of your behavior and/or your body? Have you been bullied because of your appearance? Do you feel demoralized? Are you even experiencing health and relationship problems because of it?

This is not a good place to be but there is a different path! I work with adults who have experienced similar struggles and have found freedom from the obsession and compulsion with food, eating, body image.

According to Becky Lu Jackson, pioneer in the field treatment of eating disorders; whether it’s binge eating, overeating, over-exercising, orthorexia, bulimia, anorexia, or a combination of them, all behaviors are part of a spectrum from trying to control to the complete loss of control of the obsession and compulsion to eat to deal with life’s difficulties.

Through a mindful somatic approach and cognitive-behavioral skills and we can develop a sound and lasting plan of eating and self-care that can provide healthy nutrients to your body and physical, emotional and mental health stability to your life. We can also add a spiritual component if you “soul” desire.

In addition to that we will also address any underlying mental health issues that are contributing to your behavior pattern and address how your historical self/selves and previous trauma have impacted your body-image, self-esteem and self-regard and how our social standards surrounding beauty and health are impacting your behaviors and belief systems and, in turn, develop a new way of thinking and acting that will support a long-term fulfilling recovery and will change your whole life forever!
