How To Get Started
Step 1
Schedule Your First Session
Your therapy journey begins with a full, 50-minute session. You’ll have space to talk about your relationship with food and your body, share what you’ve been struggling with, and begin mapping a path toward recovery together.
Step 2
Engage in Weekly Therapy
Weekly sessions create steady support as you explore the emotional and behavioral patterns driving your eating disorder. Together, we’ll work on building healthier coping skills, strengthening self-trust, and gently shifting the beliefs and systems that keep you feeling stuck.
Step 3

Over time, clients often feel more grounded, more in control, and more connected to their needs. As therapy progresses, you may notice reduced shame, greater body confidence, and a more peaceful relationship with food—and a growing sense of freedom in your daily life.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
If you find that food, eating, or body image is taking up more space in your life than you want, therapy can provide support, clarity, and tools for change. Many clients come to us even if they’ve tried to manage things on their own ( books, podcasts, self-discipline, or even other therapists) or feel unsure about the severity of their symptoms. You’re welcome here at any stage of your journey.
-
The first session is a full 50-55 minutes. We’ll focus on understanding your history, current struggles, and goals. There’s no pressure to share everything at once. We’ll move at a pace that feels respectful and safe while beginning to map out a treatment plan that supports your emotional and physical well-being.
-
Therapy for eating disorders is highly individualized and moves at a pace that feels safe and sustainable for you. Some clients come in for focused work over a few months, especially when symptoms are newer or more situational. Others benefit from longer-term therapy that supports deeper healing around food, body image, and the emotional patterns connected to the disorder. There’s no one-size-fits-all timeline—your treatment plan will be shaped around your needs, goals, and readiness at each stage of recovery.
-

-
Yes. Eating disorder recovery often benefits from a collaborative team, and we gladly coordinate care with registered dietitians, primary care providers, or specialists involved in your treatment.

-

-
Yes. Therapy can help you understand what triggers binge eating or emotional eating, build alternative coping strategies, and reduce the shame and secrecy that often accompany these patterns. We focus on practical tools and deeper emotional work to support long-lasting change.
