Eating Disorder Treatment Long Island

Body Image Therapy

PTSD Counseling

You’re exhausted and distressed from always thinking about food and your body.

The majority of your day is consumed with thoughts about what you should or shouldn’t eat and how your clothes are fitting. Your body image is distorted and you don’t really know what you look like. Sometimes, you feel good about how you look and other times, you see a different person in the mirror altogether. 

You avoid eating in front of others, going out to restaurants or going to parties. You’re afraid of someone commenting on your food or judging what you’re eating or how you look.

You know it’s not “normal” to be this preoccupied with food and your body. It feels as though no-one understands what you’re going through. You’re tired of opening up only to feel misunderstood or offered overly-simplistic solutions such as “just eat,” “just stop eating,” “you look fine.” 

You want to change, but have no idea how or where to start.

 Long Island Therapy FAQs

  • Finding the right therapist can seem overwhelming and time consuming. This can make it easy to put off the task of finding the therapist for you. But, in order to find a therapist, you first need to take some action! Do your research and reach out to some therapists who seem like they may be a good fit for you. Most therapists will offer a free initial consultation call to help you both to determine if the fit is right. It may take a few emails and calls, but stick to it and you will find your therapist! It may take a little patience.

  • Do your research and see if the therapist you are looking at seems like they would be able to help with your specific complaints. For an example, one of my specialties is treating eating disorders. If you are struggling with a possible eating disorder, it is crucial to find an eating disorder specialist. Through your research, you should be able to see if the therapist you are looking at can possibly help you with your specific issue. If you think that they may be a good fit for you and what you’re struggling with, reach out! Most therapists offer free initial consultation calls to help determine if they are right for you, and vice versa. Ask them whatever questions you have and see if it feels like they may be able to help you.

  • Chances are that if you’re thinking about this, you likely need/can benefit from seeing a therapist. When seeing a therapist, they can help you to gain clarity as to what you may be dealing with and are trained to help you through it. I’m a big believer that most people (if not all) can benefit from therapy and I’d rather a person get therapy and not need it than not get therapy when they do need it. All in all, therapy can help and if this is the question you’re asking yourself, I would recommend getting a therapist.
