Disordered Eating Therapy

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Navigate Disordered Eating with Compassionate, Licensed Therapists

Eating disorders are often misunderstood as being only about food, but for many individuals, they are deeply connected to emotions, stress, control, and self-image. Over time, patterns around eating can become a way to cope with overwhelming feelings, even if they begin to feel harmful or out of control. You may feel stuck in cycles of restriction, overeating, or constant thoughts about food and your body. These patterns can affect your physical health, emotional well-being, and daily life, often creating a sense of isolation or frustration. Many people begin searching for eating disorder therapy when they realize that these patterns are not going away on their own.

At Genesis Counseling, we provide therapy that helps you understand the underlying factors contributing to these behaviors while building a more supportive and sustainable relationship with food and yourself.

We offer therapy in Boca Raton, Coral Springs, Delray Beach, Pembroke Pines, Pompano Beach, and Wellington, as well as virtual therapy throughout Florida.

OUR MISSION IS SIMPLE

to help you heal, therapy designed around you.

Signs and Symptoms of Eating Disorders

Eating disorders can look different for each person and may not always be obvious to others.

You may be experiencing:

  • Preoccupation with food, weight, or body image
  • Restrictive eating or avoiding certain foods
  • Episodes of overeating or loss of control
  • Feelings of guilt, shame, or anxiety around eating
  • Using food or restriction to cope with emotions
  • Changes in energy levels, mood, or physical health

Even when these patterns feel manageable, they can become more difficult over time without support.

How Therapy Supports Recovery

Eating disorder therapy focuses on both the behaviors and the emotional patterns behind them. The goal is not just to change eating habits, but to understand why those patterns developed and how to respond differently moving forward.

At Genesis Counseling, we use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)mindfulness-based therapy, and supportive therapy to help you:

  • Identify patterns and triggers related to food and emotions
  • Build healthier coping strategies for stress and emotional regulation
  • Improve body image and self-acceptance
  • Reduce shame and increase self-awareness

Recovery is not about perfection it is about building consistency, awareness, and self-compassion over time.

What to Expect from Eating Disorder Therapy

Therapy is tailored to your experience and paced in a way that feels manageable.

Some sessions may focus on:

  • Understanding emotional triggers
  • Identifying thought patterns around food and control
  • Building coping strategies for difficult moments
  • Improving self-confidence and body awareness

You do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. This is a space where you can begin to understand and shift patterns over time.
