Eating Disorders Therapists in New York, NY

As an eating disorder specialist I work with people in all stages of their recovery. I am certified in Intuitive Eating and practice a non-diet approach to recovery. I strongly believe that movement can be a part of recovering from negative body image, eating disorders or disordered eating. In treating a whole person by using an interpersonal method of psychotherapy or psychoanalysis we can uncover some underlying causes for the struggles you may be going through. My passion is helping athletes recover from disordered eating to unlock their full potential and helping families create happy eating experiences at home.

I am currently seeing NY residents by video and OH residents in person or by video. I specialize in working with adults and adolescents who want help with disordered eating, anxiety, and/or depression. Exploring conscious and less conscious thoughts and feelings helps to bring internal conflicts to light and resolve emotional pain. I have a supportive and calm demeanor that helps people open up about their inner life and find new ways to cope. I often recommend use of nutritionists, physicians and other professionals to best address the whole person and reduce uncomfortable and relentless symptoms.

Greetings and thank you for giving me the opportunity to describe my therapy practice! My approach is one where I see myself as a guide alongside you in your journey toward reaching your goals. You are the expert on yourself! I see my role in our therapeutic relationship as being able to help aid you in feeling understood, gaining insight, and learning new skills to manage the challenges you are going through and will go through in the future.

Life is full of challenges and transitions, and my goal as a therapist is to ease these challenges by partnering with my clients to build on their strengths and deepen their perspectives. I provide clear guidance and explanations, compassionate confrontation, warmth, and a safe space for exploration, discovery, and healing. My work includes helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, emotional pain, trauma, psychedelic experiences, eating disorders, life transitions, and learning to set boundaries in relationships to live more intentionally and authentically.

Life can be really hard sometimes. While you may be considering treatment for a variety of reasons, therapy can provide a critical anchor when you are feeling lost, stuck, or overwhelmed. I view therapy as a safe, explorative space to work through problems you are experiencing as well as learn more about the relationships you have with other people in your life. My style is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, and I use a combination of evidence-based, psychodynamic, and relational techniques to help you meet your goals and work towards relief and change. I value humor, being present, and meeting you exactly where you are.

People often come to a therapist because they want to talk about being anxious, being lonely, feeling depressed, having difficulty in relationships, feeling stressed and burned out, or having a hard time taking care of themselves and others. I aim to help people to reduce symptoms (e.g., anxiety, pain) and, more generally, to engage in personal growth and to foster a more connected, meaningful life by focusing on mind and body wellness. I will work with you to help you cope more effectively; in doing so, I focus on your strengths and potential.

Welcome! Have years of surviving left you feeling disconnected from your self, the world, and the people around you? Do you sometimes feel at odds with your own mind and body? My goal is to provide a therapeutic space where you feel seen, understood, and supported in charting your own path back to connection, embodiment, and healing. I offer a warm and gentle approach to therapy, blending trauma-specific modalities like EMDR with other models to create a personalized, collaborative care plan that supports your healing and recovery.

Seeking help takes courage. I create a safe, empathic space where, working together, we will uncover and unwind the self-defeating patterns of thought and behavior that are causing you pain. I use a holistic approach, bringing in mindfulness techniques, behavioral interventions, and DBT when needed, to help provide you with insight into unseen obstacles and the practical tools and skills to promote more productive behaviors. Together, we can come to understand and free you from old perceptions of your self that are holding you back so that real transformation can begin and you can live life more fully.

I believe that when we are given a compassionate space to explore our emotions, behaviors, and experiences, the opportunities for growth are endless. As a therapist, I honor the vulnerability and courage it takes to engage in this process. While working on our suffering can feel overwhelming, I pay careful attention to go at the appropriate pace that will be most beneficial to your healing process. You are the expert on your life and I prioritize connecting you with the depth of your own strengths, intuition, and wisdom.

We specialize in the treatment of disordered eating including Anorexia, Bulimia and Binge Eating as well as drug/alcohol addictions and mood disorders. We offer a H.A.E.S. focused, weight-neutral approach, with attention to not only the internal but external factors that affect thoughts, behaviors and emotions, but also external factors such as diet culture, systemic oppression, perception of family systems and more. We offer education, support, straight-talk and practical feedback to help understand and resolve long-standing behavior patterns that have simply become too emotionally draining and physically consequential.

I am deeply passionate about supporting people through life’s challenges and empowering them to live authentic and fulfilling lives. I specialize in working with teens and adults struggling with maladaptive behavior patterns such as eating disorders and substance abuse, and common co-occurring issues including low self-esteem, anxiety, mood disorders, and trauma. I provide a warm, comfortable, and judgment-free space to explore thoughts, feelings, experiences, and vulnerabilities. My goal is to engage clients in a process of self-reflection, self-discovery, and positive change in order to achieve a greater sense of wellbeing.

If you are seeking therapy it means you are wise enough to know you can do something about your problems and brave enough to try. For each person therapy is a unique collaboration. While I use my training in psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, cognitive behavioral treatment, and family therapy as guidance, success depends on paying careful attention to a client's personal history, life situation, and current goals. While the past shapes us and is always with us, your "here and now" issues are the focus, as we emphasize and reinforce your strengths while also addressing problems.

I am an experienced clinician, who strongly believes that therapy is a partnership. I see my role as helping an individual arrive at mutually agreed upon goals, which will lead to a better quality of life. I am an active participant in our sessions and believe that warmth and sometimes humor are an important part of the therapy process. My therapeutic style is engaged, active and pragmatic. My goal is to create a supportive yet challenging environment, while focusing on getting to the main issues quickly and safely.
