Eating Disorder Therapy

Eating disorders develop for many different reasons, and no two people's stories are the same. Whether you're navigating a diagnosed eating disorder or a pattern of disordered eating that doesn't fit neatly into a diagnosis, you deserve care that meets you where you are. If your relationship with food feels stressful, confusing, or hard to sustain — that's enough of a reason to reach out.

Our work together is not just about changing behaviors. It's about understanding the underlying experiences, emotions, and patterns that may be keeping those behaviors in place.

We work with adolescents (age 13+) and adults across the full spectrum of eating concerns, from disordered eating patterns to clinically significant eating disorders. Our approach is grounded in Health at Every Size (HAES) principles,

We support individuals struggling with:

  • Body image concerns & body dysmorphia

  • Restriction, binge eating, purging, compulsive exercise, laxative misuse, and other eating disorder behaviors

  • Negative beliefs about self, food, and body

  • Rigidity, perfectionism, and feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns

  • Orthorexia and "clean eating" that has become controlling or distressing

  • Eating concerns connected to trauma, anxiety, or athletic identity

We provide eating disorder therapy in Boston (in person) and throughout MA & CT (virtually).

  • You do not need to be diagnosed to get help. Many people struggle with food, body image, exercise, or eating behaviors without having a formal diagnosis. Therapy can be helpful whether you're dealing with chronic dieting, binge eating, emotional eating, body dissatisfaction, restrictive eating, or a diagnosed eating disorder.

  • A disordered relationship with food isn’t defined by a single behavior or diagnosis—it often shows up as ongoing stress, preoccupation, or rigidity around eating, body image, or exercise. You might notice frequent guilt or anxiety after eating, rules about “good” and “bad” foods, cycles of restriction and overeating, or feeling out of control around food. Some people also find that thoughts about food, weight, or their body take up a significant amount of mental space. If your relationship with food feels stressful, confusing, or hard to sustain, therapy can help you better understand these patterns and move toward a more flexible and supportive way of eating and living.

  • Our treatment approach integrates evidence-based modalities including Exposure Therapy, the Unified Protocol for Eating Disorders, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and relational therapy. We collaborate with dietitians, physicians, and other providers (with your permission) to ensure you have comprehensive, coordinated support.

  • If thoughts about food, weight, body shape, or exercise are taking up significant mental space, causing distress, or interfering with your quality of life, therapy may help you explore these patterns and develop a better relationship with food and your body.

  • Recovery looks different for everyone. Some people seek short-term support around specific challenges, while others benefit from longer-term work. The pace of therapy is tailored to your needs, goals, and circumstances. You don’t need to know what the future holds to begin therapy.
