My Approach
I believe every client deserves a personalized treatment plan. I integrate evidence-based treatment approaches in therapy, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). My practice is informed by the Health at Every Size (HAES) philosophy.
My passion lies in helping clients heal from eating disorders, build self-compassion, embrace food freedom, and appreciate their bodies.
I do this work because I’ve been there. While every recovery journey is unique, I remember how overwhelming it was to be consumed by an eating disorder.
Helping others find the freedom I’ve experienced is deeply rewarding. Being a therapist is my calling, and I can’t imagine doing anything else.
**I am currently accepting a limited number of new clients. If my availability is full, I’m happy to provide referrals to other skilled clinicians.

"Jennifer Rollin is one of the *very* few people that I would send my own daughter to if she were struggling with an eating disorder. She is not only one of the leading eating disorder specialists in the US, but also a warm and welcoming therapist who understands how the pressures put on women in our society can lead to distorted self-image and pain. Her understanding of the subject matter and willingness to help people is unparalleled. If you are looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable expert, look no further!"
-Anninna Schmid, MA, Founder of Substance Use Counseling
"Jennifer is extremely knowledgable about eating disorders and eating disorder treatment, and I have only ever read and heard RAVING reviews from her clients and others in the eating disorder field. Jennifer is so passionate about her work and about helping others break free from the bondage of eating disorders and diet culture. She is 100 percent dedicated to her work and goes above and beyond for her clients on a daily basis. As a therapist myself, I love learning from her and gaining tools and knowledge to use in my own practice. Highly recommend!!"
