Imagine standing in a room with ten people you know and care about\u2014friends, family members, colleagues. Now consider that, statistically, <\/span>one of them will struggle with an eating disorder at some point in their life<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>

Pretty shocking right? In fact, recent studies reveal that <\/span>these struggles have doubled in over the past 18 years<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>affecting nearly 10% of Americans<\/span><\/a>. This isn\u2019t just a number\u2014it represents millions of individuals battling a complex and often misunderstood condition.<\/span><\/p>

They are not just \u201cphases\u201d or \u201clifestyle choices\u201d\u2014they are serious, life-threatening mental health conditions that need to be addressed before they worsen.<\/span><\/p>

But there\u2019s hope. With the right support, recovery is possible!<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Eating Disorder Treatment Vs. Therapy\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Eating disorder treatment is more than just talking about food.<\/b> It\u2019s about untangling the complex emotions, beliefs, and behaviors that are holding you or a loved one captive. It\u2019s about understanding the \u2018why\u2019 behind the struggle rather than just treating symptoms.<\/span><\/p>

Different from treatment, therapy helps you confront the thoughts that distort your relationship with food; it helps to uncover the pain hidden beneath the surface that only a skilled counselor can properly address.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

A big component of therapy is learning to regain control of your life while seeing yourself with compassion vs judgment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Treatment on the other hand, is for more severe cases who may need hospitalization where their very life is threatened. If this is the case, please go see a medical doctor as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

As a therapist, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside countless individuals on their journeys to recover from binge-eating, anorexia, and more. I understand the pain and isolation that these conditions can bring.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

There are three benefits of choosing me vs other eating disorder therapists.<\/span><\/p>

  1. I have 15+ years experience treating eating disorders specifically. <\/b>My early career involved working at a treatment center where I saw severe cases and treated them through their recovery. My wealth of knowledge gives me the confidence to help people in their journey, no matter how mild or serious.

    <\/span><\/li>
  2. I\u2019m a local business!<\/b> If you prefer to meet in-person, my office is always available. I find that having face-to-face interactions is helpful for the therapeutic process, especially when discussing deeply personal matters. I also have virtual options for those who prefer it.
    <\/span><\/span><\/li>
  3. No one-size-fits all solutions. I provide customized treatment plans that are unique to you or your loved one. They will always come back to our sessions with more knowledge about their condition with realistic milestones along the way.<\/span><\/strong><\/li><\/ol><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Binge Eating Disorder (BED) involves episodes of compulsive overeating, often without any attempts to compensate afterward. This experience can leave a person feeling physically uncomfortable and emotionally overwhelmed, with feelings of shame, guilt, and sadness often following.

    Disordered eating<\/b><\/p>

    Disordered eating can show up in many different ways\u2014whether it\u2019s restricting food, obsessive dieting, or feeling out of control around food. These behaviors often stem from a complicated relationship with eating and body image.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    Body Dysmorphia<\/b><\/p>

    Body dysmorphia is a mental health disorder where one becomes overly preoccupied with perceived flaws in appearance. This obsession can cause significant psychological distress and interfere with daily life.<\/span><\/p>

    Is OCD and Body Dysmorphia the same?<\/b><\/p>

    While body dysmorphia is related to OCD, it’s often misdiagnosed. You may find yourself engaging in compulsive behaviors, like repeatedly checking your reflection or avoiding mirrors altogether. It’s important to remember that these obsessions are a symptom of the disorder, not a reflection of reality.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
