Our Mission

Our mission is to help people who feel stuck in fear around food, their bodies, and their health find relief without shame, control, or dieting. We offer weight-inclusive, trauma-informed therapy that helps clients to feel safer in their bodies, quieter in their thoughts, and more present in their lives.

The Center For Every Body was created from a belief that therapy should be a place where you don't have to earn care by changing your body, fixing your food, or becoming someone you're not. We provide specialized, weight-inclusive mental health care for people navigating eating disorders, disordered eating, OCD, trauma, anxiety, and other experiences that can make it difficult to feel at home in your body and your life.

 

The Team at The Center For Every Body

Finding the right therapist matters. Each clinician at The Center For Every Body brings their own personality, clinical interests, and areas of expertise while sharing our commitment to weight-inclusive, compassionate care.
