Binge Eating Counseling
Are You Tired of Feeling Out of Control Around Food?
- Do you find yourself eating past the point of fullness, even when you’re not hungry, and feeling guilty afterward?
- Are you constantly thinking about food—what you just ate, what you shouldn’t have eaten, or what you’ll eat next?
- Maybe you’ve promised yourself, “This is the last time,” only to feel stuck in the same cycle again and again.
It can feel overwhelming to live with food thoughts that never seem to quiet down. You might feel shame about eating in secret or dread the judgment of others who don’t understand. You may even wonder, Why can’t I just have more willpower? What’s wrong with me? On top of that, the pressure to change your body size or “fix” your eating habits can leave you feeling hopeless, exhausted, and alone.
The truth is, binge eating isn’t about a lack of self-control, and you don’t have to fight this battle on your own. What you really want is freedom—to enjoy food without guilt, to trust yourself, and to feel at home in your body.
With the help of counseling specifically for binge eating, you can break free from the binge-restrict cycle, quiet the noise around food, and finally feel at peace. You are not the problem! Together, we’ll explore what’s really driving your eating patterns and work toward healing your relationship with food and yourself.
Binge Eating Is More Common Than You Think
If you feel like you’re the only one who struggles with binge eating, I want you to know—you’re not. Many people, regardless of age, size, or background, face challenges with feeling out of control around food. In fact, binge eating is the most common eating disorder, yet it often goes unspoken because of the shame and stigma surrounding it.
For many, binge eating isn’t just about food. It can be a response to stress, emotional pain, or feeling deprived—whether that’s from restricting certain foods, following rigid diet rules, or holding yourself to unrealistic expectations. This cycle of restriction, followed by bingeing, often leads to guilt, self-blame, and an overwhelming sense of frustration. You might think, If I could just have more discipline, this wouldn’t happen. But this isn’t about willpower. It’s about patterns that have developed over time and the messages diet culture has taught us about food and our bodies.
The good news is, binge eating doesn’t have to control your life. With support, you can uncover the reasons behind your eating patterns, challenge the shame that keeps you stuck, and find freedom in your relationship with food. Through compassionate, weight-inclusive therapy, you can learn to trust yourself again. You are not broken, and healing is possible.
Find Peace With Food And Your Body Through Binge Eating Treatment
Binge eating can feel overwhelming, but therapy can help you break free from the cycle. Together, we’ll explore the underlying patterns and emotions driving your relationship with food—without shame, judgment, or unrealistic expectations. My approach focuses on helping you build self-trust, develop a deeper understanding of your needs, and create a more peaceful relationship with food and your body.
Our work will be collaborative and tailored to you. In our sessions, we’ll start by understanding your story—what brought you here, how binge eating has impacted your life, and the thoughts or experiences that keep you feeling stuck. From there, I integrate evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to give you practical, effective tools for managing food thoughts and behaviors. You’ll learn how to challenge unhelpful patterns, make space for difficult emotions without judgment, and take small, actionable steps toward healing.
This isn’t about fixing “the problem” of binge eating; it’s about supporting you. You will be given tangible tools you can use in your daily life to identify triggers, manage overwhelming food thoughts, and break free from all-or-nothing thinking. If you’ve been stuck in cycles of restriction, guilt, and overexercise, we’ll focus on finding balance. You will start approaching food and movement in ways that feel sustainable and joyful, not punishing.
As someone who has walked my own path of recovery from disordered eating and overexercise, I understand how isolating and exhausting this struggle can feel. My professional experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Personal Trainer allows me to combine therapeutic expertise with a compassionate understanding of how the mind and body connect. With therapy, you can find freedom from binge eating and learn to trust yourself again.
You Might Have Questions Or Concerns About Starting Binge Eating Counseling
“I feel ashamed about my binge eating and don’t want to talk about it.”
It’s completely understandable to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed about discussing your struggles with food. Binge eating often comes with feelings of shame, secrecy, or fear of being judged. But in my office, there’s no judgment—only understanding and compassion. I know binge eating isn’t about a lack of willpower or discipline, and you’re not alone in this experience. Therapy is a safe, supportive space where we can gently explore your relationship with food and work toward healing at a pace that feels right for you.
“What if therapy doesn’t work for me?”
That’s a common concern, especially if you’ve tried other approaches before without success. I tailor my work to each client, combining evidence-based therapies like CBT, ACT, and Solution-Focused Therapy with practical, actionable tools you can use in your daily life. I focus on what works for you—not a one-size-fits-all solution. While change takes time and commitment, I believe that with the right support, you can break free from binge eating and build a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food.
“I’m worried about the cost and time commitment of therapy.”
Investing in therapy can feel daunting, especially when life already feels busy and overwhelming. But prioritizing your mental and emotional well-being can have life-changing benefits that ripple into all areas of your life. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels manageable for you. I also offer flexible scheduling options to fit binge eating counseling into your life. Healing doesn’t require perfection—it just requires you to show up, one step at a time.
