How long does therapy take?

Therapy is a place where my clients are empowered to use the skills gained in therapy to conquer the challenges that life gives. Some of the research suggests that most therapy clients feel improvement in 15-2o sessions and I expect that to be the case for our work together. Some clients feel better enough that they graduate within that time. Others find that they enjoy the process of therapy and want to continue further.

How does eating disorder therapy work?

It takes a lot of bravery to reach out for help with an eating disorder! After meeting together for our initial intake we will assess what kind of care is necessary based on your goals. Often eating disorder recovery work involves food intake accountability, incorporating support from loved ones, and unpacking the root and triggers of the eating disorder with the therapist. I also work with many amazing registered dietitians who specialize in eating disorder recovery who I may also refer you to to help you alongside your journey.
