Rancho Bernardo, San Diego and online across California
For adults who are ready to stop surviving in an eating disorder and start living in recovery.
Your mind is in an endless cycle: what you ate, what you are going to eat, what you should not have eaten. I work with adults who want that cycle to end, in person in Rancho Bernardo or online anywhere in California.
Emily Andersen, LMFTNot an autoresponder. You hear back within one business day, usually sooner.
A short call by phone or video to hear what is going on and see whether we are a fit. Nothing is committed at the end of it.
Online anywhere in California, or in person at the Rancho Bernardo office.
Nothing else we do will hold while you are running on empty. This comes before insight, every time.
Real healing happens when we understand its function. That is a very different project from trying harder.
At a pace that is survivable, in a way that holds up on a bad week. Perfection is never the goal.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the owner of PsychED Recovery. I specialize in eating disorders, body image and trauma, and I practice in a weight inclusive way guided by Health At Every Size® principles.
We start where you are, not where you think you should be. Recovery is about more than food. It is about getting your life back, and about being able to sit at the table without doing math.
Almost everyone I meet says some version of that, including people who are very unwell. There is no threshold you have to cross to deserve support. If it is taking up your life, it counts.
A lot of my clients have. Higher levels of care are built to stabilize you, and they are good at that. The part that usually gets skipped is what happens when you go back to your kitchen, your job and your family. That is the part we work on.
Yes. Binge eating, restriction, the cycle between the two, and the shame that sits underneath all of it.
