Eating disorders, including Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Binge Eating Disorder, often begin during adolescence and affect both men and women. In today’s digital age, where self-worth is often tied to social media validation, many individuals struggle with distorted body image and unhealthy relationships with food.
At the core of most eating disorders lies a deep sense of not feeling “good enough.” Clients may engage in food restriction, obsessive exercise, purging (through vomiting or laxatives), or bingeing. They often experience shame, low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression, alongside a distorted perception of their body. In severe cases, these behaviors can lead to serious health complications and may require hospitalization.
How Therapy Helps
As a psychologist, I focus on treating not just the symptoms, but the underlying emotional and cognitive patterns that fuel disordered eating.
Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based approaches, therapy helps clients:
● Rebuild a healthier relationship with food and body image
● Challenge and reframe negative, self-critical thoughts
● Use food journals and cost-benefit analysis to reinforce progress
● Develop self-compassion and emotional resilience
● Reduce relapse risk through long-term coping strategies
Clients are guided to adopt realistic, self-accepting perspectives and work toward recovery, one step at a time.
Support for Lasting Recovery
Therapy is not just about weight or food—it’s about reclaiming control, restoring self-worth, and helping individuals live without shame, guilt, or fear around their body and eating patterns. Empowering young clients to let go of self-judgment allows them to build confidence and look ahead with hope.
