Therapy for Eating Disorders at Vitality Counseling LCSW PC

​

Eating disorders are not about food. They are often about control, pain, self-worth, and emotional regulation. At Vitality Counseling LCSW PC, we provide compassionate, trauma-informed virtual therapy for individuals struggling with Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, Anorexia Nervosa, and emotional challenges related to weight management and body image.

​

Our licensed therapists support clients across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Maine, offering nonjudgmental care that honors the complexity of your relationship with food, body, and self.

​

Bulimia Nervosa

​

Bulimia often involves cycles of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors such as purging, fasting, or excessive exercise. It can feel isolating and overwhelming, but recovery is possible.

​

In therapy for bulimia, we focus on:

• Breaking the binge-purge cycle

• Reducing shame and secrecy around food

• Addressing underlying emotional triggers

• Rebuilding trust in your body

​

We work collaboratively with you and, if applicable, a treatment team to support long-term healing.

​

Binge Eating & Compulsive Overeating

​

If you feel out of control around food or turn to eating for emotional comfort, you may be experiencing Binge Eating Disorder (BED) or compulsive overeating. This can lead to feelings of guilt, self-blame, and frustration.

​

Therapy helps you:

• Understand the emotional function of bingeing

• Develop alternative coping strategies

• Cultivate intuitive eating and body neutrality

• Explore trauma, perfectionism, or unmet emotional needs

​

Our therapists work without shame, diet culture, or judgment. Only support.

​

Anorexia Nervosa

​

Anorexia Nervosa involves extreme restriction of food intake, intense fear of gaining weight, and a distorted body image. It is one of the most dangerous mental health conditions and requires expert care.

​

Anorexia therapy includes:

• Increasing safety and nutritional stability

• Challenging distorted beliefs around food and self-worth

• Building self-trust and emotional regulation

• Healing perfectionism, control, or trauma roots

​

We approach this work gently and collaboratively, honoring your autonomy while supporting your healing.

​

We work collaboratively with you and, when appropriate, coordinate care with your treatment team - including primary care providers, psychiatrists, dietitians, or medical specialists - to support your long-term healing.

​

Weight Concerns & Emotional Eating

​

You don’t need a formal diagnosis to deserve support. If you’re struggling with weight management, emotional eating, or body shame, therapy can help you untangle the emotional layers beneath food-related behaviors.

​

We help clients with:

• Building a healthier relationship with food and body

• Reducing emotional eating patterns

• Exploring trauma, shame, or identity connected to weight

• Shifting from external control to internal compassion

​

We reject diet culture and honor your body as it is, while supporting your health and emotional well-being.

​

Healing Is Possible — No Matter Where You Start

​

Recovery is not about perfection. Recovery is about building a life where food, body image, and self-worth no longer feel like battles. We’re here to walk beside you.
