Eating Disorders & Body Image

If you find yourself struggling with…
  •     Frequent dieting or obsessive calorie counting
  •     Rigid food restriction or skipping meals
  •     Feeling anxiety, guilt or shame about certain foods or food in general
  •     Obsessive exercising, or exercise to “punish” for overeating
  •     Binging and/or purging
  •     Self-worth or self-esteem because of your weight or body shape and weight
  •     Feeling out of control around food

… then you may be suffering from disordered eating.

Many people are aware of what an eating disorder is, but disordered eating may sound less familiar. Disordered eating is not a diagnosis but a phrase used to describe a range of problematic eating behaviors. The signs and symptoms of disordered eating are similar to those of an eating disorder, although they will vary with frequency and severity.

While disordered eating may not result in the extreme symptoms seen in a diagnosable eating disorder, it has the potential to negatively impact a person’s life. For example, someone with disordered eating may miss work, school or personal events because of anxiety or discomfort around food, or because of an obsessive exercise routine. Their obsession with food and exercise may affect their ability to focus or concentrate, impacting their performance at work or school.

Disordered eating can also take a mental and physical toll on a person. Negative self-thinking can impact their mental health, and their poor eating habits can affect them physically, such as their cardiovascular and intestinal health. Disordered eating also puts the individual at high risk for developing an eating disorder.

What causes people to engage in harmful eating habits can be complex, and vary per the individual. Individual therapy can help people examine their past to understand what led to these behaviors and learn to accept and love themselves as they are. You can also work together with a therapist to create healthier habits and develop coping mechanisms for difficult cues or triggers.

If you’re struggling with disordered eating and need support and guidance, a licensed therapist can help you create healthier habits for both your body and mind. Give our office a call today, and let’s schedule a time to talk.

Academic Coaching & Educational Therapy

Therapy combined with academic coaching will…

…help identify deeper social, emotional, and mental health issues that contribute to difficulties in learning and academic performance including the following:

  • Stress Management
  • Prioritizing
  • Study Habits and Routines
  • Learning Strategies
  • Time Management
  • Organization
  • Communication and Presentation Skills
  • Essay Writing and Exam Strategies
  • Self-Motivation
  • Focus
  • Resolve
  • Self-Advocacy
  • Self-Insight
  • Goal-Setting

You may be looking for the – “OK, now what?” or “What next” after a learning disability, ADHD, a mental health diagnosis, or even “unknown” that interferes with your academic functioning.

Different than a tutor – as both a licensed therapist and credentialed, real classroom experienced teacher – we work together to identify the barriers to learning and academic performance.  Working with parents to discuss family history and dynamics to identify areas to support is significant source of information.

You may want to work with me to learn to manage stressors if you are aiming for exceptional academic results.

I’ve never talked to anyone. I’m used to handling things on my own. Aren’t people who go to therapy weak?
Not at all. People who ask for help know when they need it and have the courage to reach out. Everyone needs help now and then. In our work together, I’ll help you explore and identify your strengths and how to implement them to reduce the influence of the problems you are facing.
What’s the difference between talking to you or my best friend or family?
The difference is between someone who can do something, and someone who has the training and experience to do that same thing professionally. A mental health professional can help you approach your situation in a new way– teach you new skills, gain different perspectives, listen to you without judgment or expectations, and help you listen to yourself. Furthermore, counseling is completely confidential. You won’t have to worry about others “knowing my business.” Lastly, if your situation provokes a great deal of negative emotion, and you’ve been confiding in a friend or family member, there is the risk that once you are feeling better you could start avoiding that person so you aren’t reminded of this difficult time in your life.
Why shouldn’t I just take medication?
Medication can be effective but it alone cannot solve all issues. Sometimes medication is needed in conjunction with counseling. Our work together is designed to explore and unpack the problems you are experiencing and expand on your strengths that can help you accomplish your personal goals.
How does it work? What do I have to do in sessions?
Because each person has different issues and goals for counseling, it will be different depending on the individual. I tailor my therapeutic approach to your specific needs.
How long will it take?
Unfortunately, this is not possible to say in a general FAQs page. Everyone’s circumstances are unique to them and the length of time counseling can take to allow you to accomplish your goals depends on your desire for personal development, your commitment, and the factors that are driving you to seek counseling in the first place.
I want to get the most out of therapy. What can I do to help?
I am so glad you are dedicated to getting the most out of your sessions. Your active participation and dedication will be crucial to your success.

Questions & Answers (click to expand)

Like most specialty providers, I do not participate in any or most insurance plans. Paying out-of-pocket is a great option for people who want maximum privacy, confidentiality, and flexibility.

Sliding scale spots are available.

Can I use out-of-network benefits?

In some cases you may be eligible to use out-of-network insurance benefits. You will be responsible for paying for each session in full at time of appointment. If appropriate, I will provide a super bill each month that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

How much will I pay for therapy using out-of-network benefits?

You can use the out-of-network reimbursement calculator below to get an individualized estimate of what your costs will be using your out-of-network benefits!

If you have out-of-network benefits, they typically will reimburse you for 60-80% of the cost of each session.

If appropriate, I will provide you with monthly invoices called a “super bill” that will include all of the necessary information for your claims to be processed.

Insurance

For insurance and rate questions, please contact my practice manager, Tamera Wise at 951-288-7444.

I’d recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:

  • Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?
  • Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?
  • Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
  • Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?
