Eating disorders are not about vanity or willpower. They are serious mental health conditions — often rooted in trauma, anxiety, identity, and a need for control — that require skilled, compassionate treatment. Recovery is possible, and many people achieve it fully.
At Discover Counseling, we approach eating disorder work as part of an integrated care team. For clients with active medical concerns or those needing a higher level of care, we will help connect you with appropriate specialized resources while providing psychological support.
Patterns of restriction, food rules, and rigid eating behaviors
Episodes of loss-of-control eating and associated shame and distress
Negative body image, body dysmorphia, and preoccupation with weight or shape
Using food to cope with anxiety, stress, loneliness, or difficult emotions
Sub-clinical patterns that don’t meet full diagnostic criteria but cause significant distress
Psychological support for those already in eating disorder recovery programs
Eating disorder recovery typically requires more than therapy alone — medical monitoring, nutritional support, and sometimes higher levels of care are often part of effective treatment. Our therapists provide the psychological component of that care: addressing the emotional, relational, and cognitive dimensions of disordered eating.
We work best with clients who also have or are willing to establish support from a physician and registered dietitian. If you’re unsure what level of care is right for you, reach out and we’ll help you think it through.
Addresses the rigid food rules, distorted body image, and avoidance patterns that maintain eating disorders. CBT-E (Enhanced) is the gold-standard outpatient approach.
Eating disorders frequently co-occur with trauma. Trauma-informed therapy addresses the underlying experiences that may be driving disordered eating behaviors.
Helps clients build psychological flexibility — reducing the struggle against difficult thoughts and feelings about food and body while reconnecting with what matters.
A warm, non-judgmental space to explore your relationship with food and body without shame or pressure.
