Disordered Eating Therapy
Disordered eating exists on a wide spectrum — and you don't need a clinical diagnosis to deserve support.
Many adults struggle with food and eating in ways that cause real suffering without fitting neatly into a diagnostic category. Chronic dieting, emotional eating, restricting after a "bad" day, obsessive food rules, binge-purge cycles — these patterns take up mental and emotional space, affect physical health, and often carry significant shame.
What disordered eating can look like
- Using food to cope with difficult emotions — bingeing, restricting, or purging in response to stress, loneliness, or anxiety
- Rigid food rules that structure your day and create distress when broken
- Preoccupation with food, weight, or eating that interrupts focus and enjoyment of everyday life
- Guilt or shame after eating certain foods, or eating past a self-imposed limit
- Physical symptoms — fatigue, GI problems, disrupted hunger cues — from years of disordered patterns
- An all-or-nothing relationship with food that's hard to break out of
How therapy helps
Therapy for disordered eating focuses on the relationship between food, emotion, and self-worth — not on meal plans or weight targets. The goal is to understand what function the eating behavior is serving, address the underlying emotional patterns, and build a more flexible, less punishing relationship with food and your body.
We approach this work from a weight-neutral, non-judgmental perspective. You don't need to be at a particular weight or level of severity to seek support.
Note: For adults with severe or medically complex eating disorders, we may discuss referral to a higher level of care or a coordinated treatment team.
