eating disorder therapy
LKG Psychotherapy & Coaching offers eating disorder therapy in Los Angeles and via secure telehealth throughout California, Texas, and Connecticut for individuals struggling with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, orthorexia, ARFID, disordered eating, and body image concerns. Eating disorders often develop as ways of coping with overwhelming emotions, perfectionism, trauma, or a painful relationship with one’s body. Therapy provides a space to gently explore these patterns with curiosity and care. Together, the work focuses on healing the relationship with food, the body, and the self, while cultivating greater compassion, flexibility, and trust in one’s inner experience.
A Thoughtful and Collaborative Approach
At LKG Psychotherapy & Coaching, we believe full recovery from an eating disorder is possible. Our team supports clients in moving beyond symptom management toward a life where food, body image, and weight no longer dictate their choices or occupy so much mental space.
Recovery is about more than learning to manage an eating disorder. It is about building a relationship with food and the body that allows for greater freedom, flexibility, and engagement in life. Ultimately, it is about rebuilding the relationship with the self. The goal is not simply to live alongside an eating disorder, but to work toward becoming recovered — free to invest in relationships, experiences, and the parts of life that matter most.
Eating disorder treatment is deeply individualized and guided by each client’s unique history, needs, and goals. Therapy creates a space to explore the patterns that have developed around food, the body, and self-worth with curiosity and care.
Treatment may incorporate a range of evidence-based approaches, including:
EMDR to help process trauma and distressing experiences
Cognitive and behavioral interventions (ACT, CBT-E, DBT) to support change in eating patterns and beliefs about food and body
Insight-oriented psychotherapy to understand underlying emotional and relational dynamics
Skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance
While reducing eating disorder symptoms is an important part of treatment, the work also focuses on something deeper: helping clients build a life that feels meaningful, connected, and sustainable beyond recovery.
