Eating Disorders

Develop a Healthier Relationship with Food and Your Body

Struggles with eating and body image can feel overwhelming and isolating. Melissa creates a safe and supportive space for healing and self-discovery. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and person-centered care to address the underlying thoughts and emotions that contribute to disordered eating and negative body image. Eating disorders are often complex and require a collaborative approach with a client’s registered dietician, physician, and possibly even their family. Melissa works collaboratively with every member of your team to support you through your recovery.

Eating disorder therapy can help with:

  • Disordered eating patterns
  • Chronic dieting or restriction
  • Emotional eating
  • Negative body image
  • Binge eating
  • Purging
  • Shame or guilt around food/body
  • Negative self worth

How Can Therapy Help?

Some people may be hesitant to make an appointment with a therapist or may become concerned that seeing a therapist means they are weak or flawed. But therapy is about healing and growth through understanding and compassion. For more information, or to find out about appointment cost and availability, email Melissa Wheelock, LMFT today.
