Healing Beyond the Scale: Weight-Inclusive Therapy for Eating Disorders
Health at Every Size™ | Fat Liberation | Trauma-Informed & Neurodivergent-Affirming Care
In a world that pathologizes bodies and normalizes disordered eating, recovery can feel like a radical act of self-trust. At our practice, we support clients through eating disorder recovery that is rooted in Health at Every Size™ (HAES), fat liberation, and trauma-informed relational care.
Whether you are navigating binge eating, chronic dieting, ARFID, anorexia, orthorexia, or body dysmorphia, we are here to affirm: your body is not the problem—and recovery doesn't require shrinking it.
What Is Health at Every Size™ (HAES)?
Health at Every Size™ is a framework that shifts the focus from weight to well-being. It challenges diet culture and the medical model of “weight loss as health” by promoting:
Respect for body diversity
Eating for well-being and attunement
Joyful, accessible movement
Weight inclusivity in healthcare
Social justice for all bodies
A HAES-aligned therapy space does not prescribe weight loss and does not pathologize higher-weight bodies. Instead, we explore how systemic oppression, trauma, and relational wounds shape our relationship to food and body—not personal failure or lack of willpower..
Fat Liberation & Weight Inclusivity in Therapy
Fat liberation goes beyond body positivity—it is about dismantling anti-fatness and the systems that uphold it. In therapy, this means:
Validating experiences of weight stigma, medical fatphobia, and body-based discrimination
Naming that many people’s eating behaviors are responses to social harm, not just individual issues
Offering a space where you don’t have to apologize for your body size or health status
Weight-inclusive therapy means all bodies are welcome here, and no one is asked to earn their worth through weight change.
Lived Experience & Relational Healing
As a fat, neurodivergent therapist in recovery, I understand how painful it is to feel like you have to change your body to be taken seriously—even in therapy. I know what it means to unlearn diet culture, to grieve lost time, and to slowly build a life of embodied trust.
Therapy isn’t about giving you advice—it’s about being with you, side by side, as you learn to listen to your body’s truth again.
Relational therapy means healing happens in relationship—not just through insight, but through felt safety, co-regulation, and attunement.
Why recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all
Neurodivergence & Eating Disorder Recovery
Autistic, ADHD, and other neurodivergent folks often experience eating disorders differently—and need care that reflects this.
Neurodivergence can impact:
Interoception: Trouble sensing hunger or fullness
Sensory sensitivities: Texture or taste aversions mistaken for "picky eating"
Executive dysfunction: Challenges with food planning or consistency
Rigid thinking: Perfectionism, rules, or rituals around food
Social masking: Suppressing needs, including around eating, to appear “normal”
Neurodivergent-affirming care respects your neurological wiring, reduces shame, and tailors support to how your brain and body actually work.
You Deserve Recovery That Honors Your Whole Self
In this space, you don’t have to shrink, mask, or perform to be safe. Whether you're just beginning to question your relationship with food or you’ve been navigating recovery for years, therapy can be a place of resilience, re-connection, and radical self-trust.
You are not broken. Your body is not the enemy. Your story deserves to be held with care and dignity.
