Therapists » Marriage & Family Therapist
Are you unhappy with what you see in the mirror? Are you afraid of being fat or worried about your weight? Does your weight determine your mood? Do you count calories, exercise to burn calories, or purge after you eat? Do you eat when you're upset or does food give you comfort? Do you feel controlled by food? If you are feeling controlled by thoughts, fears, and worries about food, weight, and appearance, you might feel frustrated, depressed, anxious, confused, and lonely.I provide special counseling services to help you understand why you are thinking and feeling this way... Through the therapy process, you can gain an understanding of why your eating disorder developed and the purpose it serves so that you can begin the process of healing and develop new ways of coping. Take control of your life instead of being controlled by food! My services also include Clinical Art Therapy, which can supplement or be incorporated into "talk therapy" sessions. The process of creating art can relieve stress and help clear your mind. Creating art can also help bring feelings, memories, and unconscious issues to the surface.
