Are you struggling with your relationship with your body, food, or exercise? Things that were once joyful now feel controlling? My name is Kalen and I specialize in providing eating disorder informed care for children, teens, and adults struggling with all types of eating disorders. In addition to this, I have experience working with a variety of other difficulties including anxiety, depression, and many more. I am a licensed professional counselor and nationally board-certified art therapist with years of experience providing eating disorder informed counseling at all levels of care.
My approach to therapy is client-centered and focused on your needs in the moment. I do this using both talk therapy and art therapy. Art therapy uses art-making and creative processing as a tool to explore and express. I prioritize a collaborative & personalized approach to counseling, as I believe it is the best way to get you to where you want to be.
If you're ready to begin the process of finding relief and ultimately feeling like yourself again, please don't hesitate to send me an email today. You do not have to do this alone. I am more than happy to discuss options and answer any questions that support you in starting your journey to recovery.
