Breaking the Cycle of Eating Disorders
and hundreds of other insurance plans accepted
Living with an eating disorder can feel like being caught in a never-ending cycle of guilt, shame, and perfectionism. Eating disorders are mental illnesses that cause people to have obsessive thoughts or maladaptive ideas about eating or body image. There are several different types of eating disorders including anorexia nervosa, binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, and avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). Living with an eating disorder can be overwhelming, but recognizing the signs is the first step toward the journey to feeling better.
Eating disorder counseling offers a compassionate, safe space to explore emotions, thoughts, and behaviors related to your relationship with food and body image. Your therapist may use a variety of therapeutic modalities, but the most common therapeutic modalities used in eating disorder counseling include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), and exposure-response prevention therapy (ERP).
Having the support of a therapist can provide you with the tools to improve your quality of life. Benefits of eating disorder counseling include:

Wondering if it's time to see a therapist? Maybe you're curious about therapy, but you wonder if you really “need” it. Have you recently experienced a stressor or traumatic event?

No, we do not. However, in cases where medication is necessary for treatment, we have preferred psychiatrists we coordinate care with in order to get you the help you need as soon as possible.
We accept most major insurances.
Whether insurance covers couples or marriage counseling varies on your insurance provider, policy, and coverage. In most cases, marriage counseling can be billed to and paid for using the mental health benefits included in most health insurance plans. If you or your partner are considering couples or marriage counseling, it is recommended that you check with your insurance provider to see whether it is covered under your insurance plan. If your insurance does not cover couples or marriage counseling and you need to pay out-of-pocket, many therapists offer sliding scale fees.
