Eating Disorder & Body Image Therapy

Concerns related to food and body image are often less about appearance and more about regulation, control, and emotional safety. Eating disorder behaviors frequently function as ways of managing overwhelming emotion or relational stress.

In eating disorder therapy, these patterns are approached with nuance and respect. Psychodynamic work focuses on understanding the emotional and relational context in which these behaviors developed, while supporting a more compassionate relationship with the body.

This approach supports a more integrated understanding of the relationship between mind and body, helping individuals move toward a gentler, more sustainable relationship with themselves. Therapy can be particularly helpful for those seeking depth-oriented work alongside recovery, relapse prevention, or long-term maintenance.
