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…

Does that mean that it will be easy? Probably not! Taking a curious look at the role that your eating disorder has played (and does play) in your life can be uncomfortable, to say the least.
Our eating disorder therapists are firmly rooted in providing trauma-informed approaches to eating disorders. We’ll work on building a relationship with you that feels strong, safe and work toward adding coping tools to your coping toolbox.
Then, we will begin working with the parts of you that are in need of healing from emotional overwhelm and trauma(s).
Specialized Therapy for Eating Disorders Can Help You Recover
We firmly believe that all people living with an eating disorder deserve healing.
And, that you are immeasurably worthy of living life free from the prison of body hate and obsession with food.
We’ll work with you to normalize your eating and movement patterns while doing some radical body-image work. We hope that you will find peace with the one thing that will carry you through this life- your body.
We’ll push you when you’re ready to be pushed (with your consent) because we have an unwavering belief that recovery is not only worth it but is life-saving.

Have questions about eating disorders and eating disorder treatment?
Here are our most common FAQ’s:
What is eating disorder therapy?
Eating disorder therapy is a form of specialized mental health treatment that helps you understand and shift your relationship with food, your body, and yourself.
It’s not just about eating behaviors. It’s about what those behaviors are doing for you, how they’re helping you cope, and what your nervous system has learned to rely on over time.
At Reclaim Therapy, we don’t treat eating disorders as the problem. We work with the underlying patterns, trauma, regulation, control, shame, so change feels possible, not forced.
What types of eating disorders do you treat?
We work with a range of eating disorder experiences, including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, ARFID, and disordered eating patterns that may not fit neatly into a diagnosis.
Eating disorders are not one-size-fits-all. They can look very different from person to person, but often involve distress around food, body image, or control.
How does therapy help with an eating disorder?
Therapy helps you understand why these patterns developed in the first place.
Instead of focusing only on stopping behaviors, we look at what your system is trying to manage—whether that’s overwhelm, emotional pain, or a sense of not feeling safe.
Over time, therapy supports:
more flexible eating patterns
less intensity around food and body
and a nervous system that doesn’t have to rely on those patterns to cope
Do I have to stop my eating disorder behaviors before starting therapy?
No.
You don’t need to be “ready” or already changing to start therapy.
We meet you where you are. The goal isn’t to force change right away, it’s to understand what’s happening underneath so change can actually feel sustainable.
Can eating disorder therapy help if I’ve been struggling for years?
Yes.
Many people we work with have been in therapy before or have tried to change their relationship with food without lasting shifts.
Eating disorders often require a more specialized and trauma-informed approach. When we include the nervous system, the body, and protective patterns in the work, things can start to shift in a different way.
Will I have to work with a nutritionist or doctor too?
Sometimes.
Eating disorder treatment can involve a team, including therapists, dietitians, and medical providers, depending on your needs.
If additional support would be helpful, we’ll talk through that with you. But therapy is still a central part of the process.
Is eating disorder therapy only about food and weight?
No.
Food is often just one part of the picture.
Eating disorders are frequently connected to deeper patterns like perfectionism, emotional avoidance, trauma, identity, and how safe or unsafe you feel in your body.
That’s why therapy often focuses just as much on your internal experience as it does on eating patterns.
Do you offer eating disorder therapy near me?
We offer eating disorder therapy in Horsham, PA and provide online therapy throughout Pennsylvania.
If you’re located anywhere in Pennsylvania, virtual sessions make this work accessible from wherever you are.
How do I know if I need eating disorder therapy?
If you feel stuck in cycles with food, body image, or control, even if it doesn’t “look severe” that’s enough.
You don’t have to wait until things feel worse.
If something about your relationship with food or your body feels exhausting, overwhelming, or hard to change on your own, that’s a valid place to start.
