Nourishing Your Mind and Body: Eating Disorder Therapy

Understanding Eating Disorder Therapy

Eating disorder therapy provides vital support for individuals struggling with disordered eating patterns, body image issues, and related mental health concerns. At Connected Brain Counseling, our eating disorder therapy program offers a compassionate and comprehensive approach to healing, focusing on addressing the underlying factors contributing to the disorder and promoting sustainable recovery.

According to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA), therapy is a crucial component of eating disorder treatment, offering support, guidance, and strategies for recovery.

The Journey to Recovery

Eating disorder therapy offers a transformative journey towards recovery, including:

– Addressing Underlying Causes: Therapy helps individuals explore the root causes of their eating disorder, such as trauma, perfectionism, or low self-esteem, and develop strategies to cope with these underlying issues.

– Developing Healthy Coping Mechanisms: Through therapy, individuals learn alternative coping mechanisms to replace harmful eating behaviors, such as mindfulness, emotional regulation techniques, and stress management skills.

– Rebuilding Relationship with Food: Therapy supports individuals in developing a positive and balanced relationship with food, fostering a healthier mindset towards eating and nourishing their bodies.

– Improving Body Image: Therapy addresses body image distortions and helps individuals cultivate self-acceptance and self-compassion, regardless of their size or shape.

– Supporting Physical and Emotional Wellness: Therapy emphasizes the importance of holistic wellness, addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of recovery and promoting overall well-being.

Who Can Benefit from Eating Disorder Therapy?

Eating disorder therapy is beneficial for individuals of all ages and genders who are struggling with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, or other related conditions. Whether someone is in the early stages of their disorder or has been struggling for years, therapy offers a supportive and nonjudgmental space to seek help and healing.

Research published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology suggests that therapy, particularly cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), can effectively reduce symptoms of eating disorders and improve psychological well-being.

Sydney Focht, MA, LPC

Clinical Director & Counselor

I specialize in working with women in their 20s to 50s who struggle with self-worth, self-esteem, and the guilt that often comes with prioritizing themselves. Finding self-trust and the ability to feel worthy of happiness are common topics in my work. My clients tend to put off therapy because they downplay their struggles, describing their pain as ‘not that big of a deal.’ Many of them grew up in households where expressing emotions wasn’t encouraged and they are still looking for security now. My goal is to create a space where you feel completely free to be yourself—no pressure, no expectations. Therapy with me isn’t about either of us being ‘perfect’—it’s more about you feeling safe, seen, and supported as you figure things out in a way that works for you. I prioritize meaningful conversations that get to the heart of the issue, getting to the root and out of surface level conversation quickly. Going through my own therapy has given me a deeper understanding of what it’s like to be in the client’s seat, and it’s made me even more passionate about helping others find the support that truly works for them. My clients describe me as focused, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and down-to-earth. I truly love what I do and that comes through in my work! I’m a person-centered therapist, but I often integrate elements of Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and IFS.

Cassandra Keller, MA, LPCC

Neurofeedback Clinician & Counselor (EMDR-Trained)

I support adults and teens (15+) who are ready to find relief from trauma, anxiety, depression, or feeling stuck in life, career, or identity transitions. Using a compassionate, trauma-informed, and integrative approach, I help clients reconnect with themselves and move toward balance and resilience. I’m EMDR-trained and draw from person-centered, gestalt, DBT, and somatic practices. Whether we’re working with the nervous system, processing painful memories, or exploring patterns with curiosity, my goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where you feel supported, present, and empowered to grow. I especially enjoy working with athletes, creative people, students, and outdoor adventurers who value resilience, beauty, and balance. Alongside therapy and grounding practices, I also offer neurofeedback as another powerful pathway for nervous system regulation and healing. Outside the office, you’ll often find me climbing, fly fishing, running trails, foraging, or relaxing in the grass under the aspens. My love for movement, play, and nature continually inspires how I show up with clients.
