Eating Disorders

At Brave Mental Health Community, we understand that eating disorders can have a profound impact on your physical and emotional well-being. Our Eating Disorder Counseling program is designed to provide you with the compassionate support and specialized guidance you need to overcome the challenges associated with disordered eating. Whether you’re struggling with anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating disorder, or any other eating-related concerns, our experienced therapists are here to help you on your journey to a healthier relationship with food and yourself.

Anorexia Nervosa

Imagine feeling a constant compulsion to restrict your food intake and an intense fear of gaining weight. You’ve become trapped in a cycle of self-denial, and your health is deteriorating.

How Counseling Helps: Our therapists specialize in treating anorexia nervosa. They will help you understand the root causes of your disorder, address distorted body image perceptions, and develop a balanced approach to nutrition and self-care.

Bulimia Nervosa

Picture a life filled with secretive binge-eating episodes, followed by purging through vomiting or excessive exercise. You’re caught in a destructive cycle, and the guilt and shame are overwhelming.

How Counseling Helps: Our counselors provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore the underlying triggers of your bulimia. Through therapy, you’ll learn coping strategies, develop a healthier relationship with food, and work on improving self-esteem.

Binge-Eating Disorder

Consider the constant compulsion to overeat, often in response to emotional distress. You feel trapped in a cycle of guilt, regret, and weight gain, which only perpetuates the emotional turmoil.

How Counseling Helps: Our therapists specialize in binge-eating disorder treatment. They will work with you to uncover the emotional triggers behind binge eating, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and help you regain control over your eating habits.

Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)

Imagine having an extremely selective and limited diet due to sensory sensitivities, fear of choking, or other factors.

How Counseling Helps: Our therapists understand the unique challenges of ARFID. They will help you explore the underlying causes, develop strategies to expand your food choices, and reduce anxiety around eating.

Orthorexia

Picture an obsession with healthy eating to the point where it becomes an unhealthy preoccupation. You’re constantly worried about the quality and purity of the food you consume.

How Counseling Helps: Our therapists can assist you in addressing the obsessive thoughts and behaviors associated with orthorexia. We’ll work on creating a balanced and sustainable approach to nutrition.
