Living with a binge eating disorder and feeling constantly at battle with food and with your body is brutal and painful. So many messages that constantly send a message that who you are and how you look are not ok. It's time to heal..heal from the pain of the diet culture and heal from the pain of constantly blaming yourself! The dynamics that are at work in eating disorders are complex and each person has their own story of both how it began, how it has been and how they want it to be moving forward. There is a path to healing and freedom!

Life is full of changes and stressors that impact our well-being and can suddenly become unmanageable. As a counselor, I believe in the importance of creating and maintaining a nurturing environment that is defined by individual needs and where change is experienced through a collaborative process. From helping individuals navigate personal and/or familial crises to empowering individuals through life transitions, I offer each client a non-judgmental space to strengthen and discover both internal and external resources while having the freedom and support to discover who they are, and the vision they have for their lives.

Life can present us with unexpected situations that throw our world into chaos. We may have to make changes or learn how to cope in a new way that allows us to feel successful. We also go through internal changes that affect the way we feel or think about life even when nothing round us has changed. When things happen, talking about the situation can yield new understanding about our behaviors and needs. Therapy can lead us to feel better able to navigate the waters of life.

I recognize that more often than not, sometimes reaching out is the hardest part. If you have found yourself here, pat yourself on the back! You have conquered the first step! As a mental health professional, I truly believe therapy should never be viewed as a "one size fits all" approach. Along with this ideology, I take great care in personalizing all treatment plans to be just as unique as the individual sitting in front of me. My goal as a therapist is to ensure I am providing each individual/family a safe, comfortable setting and providing the best possible therapeutic interventions to achieve an overall sense of well-being.

Hi I am Tanya Thompson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have eleven years experience counseling people with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, and trauma. Over the years, I have seen clients make long-lasting and positive life changes. These changes occur when people delve into the causes of their depression and anxiety. Using a cognitive-behavioral approach we will work together to change the negative thought patterns that accompany depression and anxiety.

Nobody sets out to have a problem with drugs or alcohol, but here you are. You believe you’ve got a problem, but you don’t know how to fix it. Maybe you just wanted to numb the pain for a bit. Maybe you needed to unwind after a stressful day. Before you knew it, you were lying to your family, friends, and coworkers. People around you avoid direct eye contact and whisper words like addiction and alcoholism. Shame and self-reproach are gnawing at you. You feel like you’ve lost control, and you don’t want to leave your life to go to inpatient treatment. Or maybe you’ve been to treatment and it didn’t click.

You know how a productive and fulfilled life is supposed to look, but you just can’t make it happen on a regular basis. Life seems to be a series of unrealized goals and forgotten hobbies and there isn’t much to show for it. You're exhausted, overstimulated, and stressed out. The shame of it all can be unbearable. What if there is a valid reason why life feels so out of control? What if it has nothing to do with you being “lazy” and “disorganized”?
