FAQ

What types of eating disorders do you treat?

We provide counseling support for a variety of eating disorders and disordered eating behaviors, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), chronic dieting, emotional eating, and body image concerns.

How do I know if I need help for an eating disorder?

If thoughts about food, weight, body image, exercise, or eating habits are affecting your daily life, relationships, physical health, or emotional well-being, counseling may be beneficial. Early intervention often leads to better outcomes.

Do I need a formal diagnosis before starting therapy?

No. You do not need a diagnosis to begin counseling. Many people seek support because they are struggling with their relationship with food, eating habits, or body image long before receiving a formal diagnosis.

Can eating disorder counseling help with body image issues?

Yes. Many individuals struggle with negative body image, low self-esteem, or appearance-related anxiety. Counseling can help you develop a healthier relationship with your body and improve self-acceptance.

What is a "weight-neutral" approach to therapy?

It means we focus on health behaviors and emotional well-being rather than using the scale as a measure of progress or worth.

Can virtual therapy help with eating disorders?

Yes, virtual sessions provide a safe, private environment to discuss sensitive topics while remaining in your own supportive home setting.
