What it is

Eating disorders and disordered eating affect people across a wide range of backgrounds, body sizes, and life stages. The experiences vary significantly — from restrictive eating, to binge-purge cycles, to chronic preoccupation with food and body, to forms of distress that don't fit a specific diagnosis.

​

These conditions are often connected to factors beyond food itself: body image, control, perfectionism, trauma, family dynamics, anxiety, and the meaning food has come to carry. Effective treatment involves understanding those connections and working through them, not just changing behaviors around eating.

​

Our work in this area is HAES-aligned (Health at Every Size) and trauma-informed. We focus on the underlying patterns and on building a less consuming relationship with food and body, in coordination with dietitians, physicians, and other providers when that's part of your care team.​
