Eating Disorders

Conditions described by severe and persistent trouble in eating behaviors, coupled with distressing thoughts and emotions.

Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions that affect a person’s relationship with food, body image, and self-worth, often leading to dangerous physical and emotional consequences if left untreated. Conditions such as Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge-Eating Disorder (BED), and Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) can cause individuals to engage in extreme food restriction, binge-eating episodes, purging behaviors, compulsive exercise, or severe anxiety around eating, all of which can take a toll on both physical health and emotional well-being. At Naaoma Mind, we understand that eating disorders are not just about food—they are deeply rooted in thoughts, emotions, and personal struggles, which is why we offer compassionate, evidence-based care through our secure and confidential telehealth services. Our licensed therapists use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help individuals identify and challenge distorted beliefs about food and body image, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to develop emotional regulation and coping skills, and Family-Based Therapy (FBT) to involve loved ones in the recovery process for younger individuals. Since eating disorders often co-occur with anxiety, depression, or obsessive-compulsive tendencies, our psychiatric team provides virtual consultations and medication management, offering treatment options such as antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications when needed to support emotional stability. Because healing from an eating disorder requires a holistic approach, we also provide guidance on nutritional rehabilitation, mindful eating, self-compassion practices, and body image acceptance to help individuals develop a healthier and more balanced relationship with food and themselves. In addition to therapy and medication support, Naaoma Mind offers ongoing follow-ups, relapse prevention strategies, and an online community where individuals can find encouragement and connection with others on a similar journey. Recovery from an eating disorder is possible, and no one should have to face it alone—at Naaoma Mind, we are dedicated to providing the tools, support, and understanding needed to break free from the cycle of disordered eating and reclaim a life of health, confidence, and self-acceptance. If you or a loved one is struggling with an eating disorder, don’t wait—schedule a virtual session with Naaoma Mind today, and take the first step toward healing, nourishment, and a future free from the burden of disordered eating.
