What Makes Our Eating Disorder Therapy Unique in California
Our approach as therapists is proactive and goal-driven. We enjoy establishing recovery objectives, assigning meaningful tasks, and conducting meal and snack practices during sessions when suitable. We’re not just here to listen—we’re here to engage. With extensive experience in the field, we specialize in guiding individuals with eating disorders towards food freedom, body positivity, and self-acceptance.
Many of our therapists have personally navigated their own recovery journeys (and are now fully recovered) or have supported loved ones through their healing.
We utilize leading evidence-based treatments to facilitate recovery from eating disorders, informed by HAES principles and intuitive eating practices.
Our commitment is to empower clients to overcome eating disorders and reclaim their lives.
You don’t have to continue feeling so stuck and alone.
