Eating Disorder Therapy

Find Freedom from Disordered Eating and Reconnect with Your Body

 

Do you feel consumed by food thoughts, guilt, or body image concerns? Have your eating habits begun to interfere with your daily life, relationships, or sense of self-worth?

 

You might be caught in a cycle of restriction, binging, purging, or obsessive exercise that feels impossible to stop. Or maybe you struggle with constant self-criticism and anxiety around meals, weight, or appearance. Whether you're facing Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder, Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), or disordered eating that doesn’t fit a specific label, you're not alone—and help is available.

​

At our Tempe-based therapy practice, we specialize in compassionate, evidence-based eating disorder treatment for individuals of all genders and backgrounds. We offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where healing becomes possible.

​

You don't have to do this alone.

 

Eating disorders are not about food—they’re about pain, control, shame, and survival. Beneath the surface, they often stem from trauma, anxiety, perfectionism, or a deep longing to feel safe and accepted in your own skin.

​

Maybe you’ve tried to “fix” your eating on your own. You might feel frustrated, stuck, or ashamed that things haven’t changed. But recovery isn’t about willpower—it’s about healing the parts of you that are hurting and learning new ways to relate to your body and emotions.

Our approach to Eating Disorder Therapy in Tempe, AZ

 

We know that healing from an eating disorder takes time, trust, and the right kind of support. Our therapists use a trauma-informed, weight-inclusive, and affirming approach rooted in the latest research and best practices in eating disorder treatment.

​

Evidence-Based Modalities We Use:

​

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-E) for eating disorders

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotion regulation and distress tolerance

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to process trauma and reduce emotional triggers

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) to work with inner parts that hold pain or protect you

  • Health at Every Size® (HAES)-aligned care to promote body respect at any size

 

Whether you're in early recovery, in relapse, or unsure whether you even "qualify" for help, you deserve support.

You Can Heal Your Relationship with Food and Reclaim Your Life

 

You don’t have to stay stuck in the cycle of disordered eating, shame, or self-criticism. Full recovery is possible—with the right support, you can reconnect with your body, your values, and your sense of self.
