Eating disorders and the process of change

Every person has the inner resources from which they can draw to make positive change in their lives. Clients and I work together to explore the strengths and coping skills she has used in the past, as well as those she would like to develop. Together we will identify and build on those skills so that she can attain her personal goals.

Typical session topics include:

• thoughts, feelings, and behavior related to disordered eating (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
• self-esteem and body image
• interpersonal relationships 
• trauma (if applicable)

We will work together to develop these techniques:

• coping skills (including ventilation as well as learning and using relaxation and meditation techniques)
• positive self-talk (self-empowerment) 
• improved communication patterns and assertiveness (learning how to express how you feel and what you need in order to better get those needs met)
