Eating Disorder Therapy in Warren, NJ

Do you feel like you have to be "in control" of food to feel okay?

When perfectionism and anxiety collide, eating can become a way to manage emotions- or feel like the one thing you can control.  But the rules get stricter, and the guilt gets louder.

Is food tied to your self-worth, productivity, or how "disciplined" you are?

You might feel like eating "perfectly" makes you good- and slipping up makes you a failure.  The pressure to earn your worth through food and body image is exhausting, and it's not your fault.

Is food or body image taking up more space in your mind than you want it to?

You're not alone if eating, planning, or avoiding food has started to take over your life.  It might look "fine" on the ouside, but inside, the mental load is constant- and we can help lighten it.

How to Know When You Need Eating Disorder Therapy

You feel like your relationship with food is never "good enough"

  • You follow rigid food rules but still feel like you're doing it wrong
  • "Healthy" eating feels more like pressure than peace
  • You constantly second-guess what, when, or how much you're allowed to eat




 

You tie your self-worth to your body, weight, or discipline

  • You feel guilty for eating, resting, or not sticking to certain routines
  • A "bad body image day" can ruin your mood or entire week
  • You believe being in control of your body means being in control of your life



 

You're exhausted from managing food, body image, and perfectionism all at once

  • You spend so much time thinking about food or your body that it impacts your focus and energy
  • You're constantly comparing yourself- and always coming up short
  • You've tried to "fix it" on your own, but nothing feels sustainable

My Approach to Eating Disorder Therapy

We'll uncover the beliefs that fuel your eating disorder- without judgement

Eating disorders often stem from deeper fears about control, worth, or failure.  Together, we'll explore what's driving your behaviors so you can begin to understand them- not just fight them. 

You'll learn practical tools to manage anxiety, urges, and emotional overwhelm

Using a blend of CBT and DBT, we'll work on skills to regulate emotions, interrupt destructive patterns, and help you respond to distress without turning to disordered behaviors.

We'll challenge the perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking that keeps you stuck

You don't have to get everything "just right" to be okay.  We'll help you shift rigid thinking into more flexible, compassionate thoughts that support real, sustainable change

We'll build a life that's about more than food, weight, or control

Recovery isn't just about stopping behaviors- it's about reconnecting with who you are beyond the eating disorder.  We can help you find purpose, joy, and freedom in the life you're building.
