Freedom from your eating disorder is possible
Your eating disorder has become so consuming that you wonder if you'll ever recover.
Deep down, you know there's so much more to life than obsessing over food and your body.
You're ready to find an eating disorder therapist who understands how complicated recovery can be and can help you find a way forward.
You never meant for things to get this bad, but your obsession with food, your weight, and your appearance has spun out of control.
The drive to control the way you show up to your world has you leaning on behaviors that you know are destructive...to your body and to your mind.
And, you've tried everything you can think of to stop engaging in them.
But, urges to restrict, binge, purge, and/or overexercise are intense. And you haven't been able to move through them on your own.
There's no shame in asking for support
In fact, reaching out for help is a brave first step…
In believing in your ability to overcome your eating disorder
Eating Disorder Symptoms
Eating disorders are serious mental and physical illnesses. Eating disorders are complex conditions that require a multifaceted approach to treatment. They can impact people of all ages, genders, races, backgrounds, and body types. However, eating disorders are treatable illnesses, but many times go unrecognized for long periods of time.
There are many different types of eating disorders, including disordered eating, which impacts approximately 75% of people who identify as women.

Eating disorder treatment should fit the person, not just the diagnosis.
At Reclaim Therapy, we take time to understand your eating disorder, the role it has come to play in your life, and what may be making recovery difficult right now.
Treatment might include working with patterns around food and movement, body image, emotions, perfectionism, shame, relationships, nervous system regulation, or past experiences. When trauma is part of the picture, we can integrate approaches like EMDR for Eating Disorders and Somatic Experiencing alongside eating disorder treatment.
The work looks different for everyone. What matters is that we're treating the whole person while still taking the eating disorder seriously.
Specialized Therapy for Eating Disorders Can Help You Recover
You deserve eating disorder treatment that understands how complicated recovery can be
Eating disorder recovery is about more than knowing what you're “supposed” to do around food.
Our eating disorder therapists help you work toward more flexibility with food and movement, a different relationship with your body, and more space for a life that isn't organized around your eating disorder.
We'll meet you where you are while still taking the eating disorder seriously. That means moving at a pace you can stay connected to, being honest about what recovery asks of you, and supporting you as you practice doing things differently.
