Food and How we feel about it
Eating Disorders Treatment | Therapist| Teenage and young adults | Westlake, OH
Our relationship with food can be so tricky. What nourishes us can also hurt us if misused. Whatever food thoughts or body image struggle you're grappling with, the pressure to fulfill some kind of requirement, rest assured that others struggle with all the same: restrictive eating, bingeing and purging, and even perpetual fixation on body and food. Whatever your concern is, take a deep breath. You have support.
In Wild Lily Counseling, located in Westlake Ohio, we offer a space in which we can explore these issues together without shame or judgment. I'd like to help you move to a place of peace with food, reconnect with your body, and live a life not ruled by disordered eating patterns. We help people recover from eating disorders in all demographics in Ohio, Colorado and Florida.
What we will be working on together
Eating Disorders Treatment | Therapist| Teenage and young adults | Westlake, OH
Working with folks who have a difficult time developing a healthy relationship with food can experience these challenges from a variety of sources. Here are some of the conditions that we can help with at Wild Lily Counseling.
Anorexia Nervosa: Restrictive dieting and fear of gaining weight.
Bulimia Nervosa: Alternating purging and binge cycles, often accompanied by feelings of guilt.
Binge Eating Disorder: Chronic episodes of eating excessive amounts of food, often quickly and to the point of discomfort.
ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder): Restrictive intake based on sensory issues or fear of a bad outcome.
Disordered Eating: Chronic dieting, obsession with "clean eating," or other behaviors that don't neatly fall into a diagnosis but still interfere with your life.
Even if you're uncertain about where you belong, if food and body thoughts are controlling your mind space, it's worth talking about.
Our Approach
Eating Disorders Treatment | Therapist| Teenage and young adults | Westlake, OH
I'm not a "one size fits all" therapist. Sessions will be more conversation than clinical assessment.
Here's what you can expect:
HAES-Alined and Body-Positive: I think health is not sized and all bodies need respect and compassion.
Relational and Personalized: We will establish a relationship that feels warm and supportive, tailoring our work to your unique experiences.
Integrative Techniques: Integrating a range of therapeutic approaches to find out what works for you.
Real-Life Application: Focusing on skills that you can apply in real life beyond our sessions.
Who I Work With:
I work with teenagers, young adults, and adults who are:
Weary from the constant battle with food and body image.
Ready to delve into the underlying reasons behind their food ways.
Ready to go against the grain and develop a gentler relationship with themselves.
Whether it's the initial beginnings of questioning food relationship or being in this journey for a while now, I'm here to walk alongside you on this journey.
