Therapeutic Approaches
to Eating Disorder Therapy
AN INTEGRATIVE, EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH TO HEALING
No single approach works for everyone, which is why I draw from several evidence-based models to meet you where you are. My goal is to understand your unique story and use the methods that best support lasting change. Whether we’re exploring underlying patterns, building emotional regulation skills, or strengthening self-compassion, each approach we use will be tailored to your needs and goals.
These approaches are often used as part of my work providing virtual eating disorder therapy for teens and adults in California.
UNDERSTANDING THE ROOTS OF YOUR STRUGGLES
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy helps us look at how your past, especially early relationships and experiences, might be affecting your life today. Sometimes the ways we coped in the past no longer serve us. Together, we explore those patterns and work on replacing old habits with healthier ways to handle emotions and connect with others.
Attachment therapy is about understanding how we form trust and bonds with people. Many struggles come from feeling unsupported, neglected, or unsafe in relationships when we were younger. In therapy, we build a safe, steady relationship so you can: - Learn to trust - Feel safer in connections - Strengthen current relationships
CHANGING THOUGHT PATTERNS THAT FUEL EATING DISORDERS
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is practical and solution-focused. It helps you spot negative thought patterns and see how they influence your feelings and behaviors. Together, we’ll work on shifting those thoughts and using real-world tools to cope better. CBT can be especially helpful for: - Anxiety and panic - Depression - Eating disorders - Compulsive habits or avoidance behavior
SKILLS FOR EMOTIONAL REGULATION AND SELF COMPASSION
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT is great if you struggle with intense emotions, impulsive behaviors, or conflict in relationships. It blends thinking strategies with mindfulness to help you: - Handle stress and anxiety - Build emotional resilience - Communicate more effectively - Stay grounded in the present moment
HEALING THROUGH THE THERAPEUTIC RELATIONSHIP
Intersubjective Therapy
This type of therapy focuses on how you interact with me in the moment. By noticing these patterns, you gain insight into how you relate to others, and how others might experience you. This can help you: - Change unhealthy relationship patterns - Connect more deeply with others - Heal old relational wounds
If you’re looking for virtual eating disorder therapy in California, I’d be honored to support you. Together, we can find an approach that feels steady, thoughtful, and effective.
