Therapy & Nutrition Counseling
for Eating Disorders

Disordered eating exists on a spectrum and can include a wide range of thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs about food, eating, and body image. While some individuals meet criteria for a diagnosed eating disorder, many people struggle with food and body issues that are harmful but may not fit neatly into a diagnosis.

You may benefit from support if you:

• Obsess over food, calories, weight, or exercise
• Feel guilt or shame after eating
• Have rigid food rules or rituals that feel out of control
• Avoid social events or relationships because of food or body concerns
• Feel stuck in a cycle of restriction and bingeing
• Engage in compensatory behaviors like purging or excessive exercise
• Struggle with low self-worth tied to your body size or shape
• Feel overwhelmed trying to “eat right” but don’t know where to start

Eating disorders and disordered eating aren’t always visible and they’re never just about food. These patterns often serve as coping mechanisms for deeper emotional pain, anxiety, trauma, or unmet needs. Our job is to help you uncover what’s beneath the behaviors and build a more connected, values-aligned way of living.

Our clinicians have experience working with a full range of eating disorders, including:

• Anorexia Nervosa
• Bulimia Nervosa
• Binge Eating Disorder (BED)
• Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
• Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders (OSFED)

We understand that no two individuals experience an eating disorder the same way.

Our treatment plans are adapted to reflect each person’s lived experience, age, neurotype, culture, and intersecting identities.

Whether you’ve just begun to recognize disordered eating patterns or you’ve been struggling for years, our team is here to meet you with curiosity, care, and deep respect for your pace of healing.

At Beyond Measure, we offer coordinated support through licensed psychotherapists and registered dietitians. While therapy and nutrition counseling can be powerful on their own, they’re even more effective when thoughtfully integrated.

Our therapists focus on the emotional, behavioral, and psychological aspects of eating disorders. This may include work on trauma, identity, anxiety, perfectionism, family dynamics, or body image. Our therapists are trained in evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).

Our dietitians bring specialized training in eating disorder recovery and intuitive eating. They provide nutrition counseling that goes far beyond meal plans—focusing instead on helping clients reconnect with internal cues, develop flexible eating patterns, and challenge food fears or rigid beliefs. They also work with clients on physical nourishment, digestive concerns, sports nutrition, and pre/postnatal nutrition when relevant.

We collaborate closely as a team, checking in behind the scenes, aligning on treatment goals, and ensuring your care is holistic and seamless. We never want you to feel like you’re starting from scratch when switching between providers.

We believe that all bodies deserve care, nourishment, and respect—regardless of size, weight, or shape. Our practice is grounded in Health at Every Size® (HAES) principles, which means we do not prescribe weight loss or make assumptions about your health based on appearance.

Instead, we focus on:

• Supporting behavioral and emotional wellbeing
• Encouraging attunement to hunger, fullness, and satisfaction
• Exploring systemic and cultural factors that influence body image
• Challenging weight stigma, diet culture, and internalized bias
• Helping you build sustainable habits rooted in compassion, not control

This approach allows us to work with you, not against your body, and to support recovery that lasts.

Eating disorders can develop at any age, but the warning signs can be easy to miss. Our team is trained to support children, teens, and their families through both therapy and nutrition counseling. We take a flexible, developmentally appropriate approach to treatment—often incorporating family members into care when helpful, especially in the case of younger clients.

We also offer family-based therapy (FBT) when appropriate, while recognizing that strict manualized FBT doesn’t work for every family. We adapt our approach to each family’s unique values, capacity, and dynamics.

Treatment is never about finding blame. We see parents as vital allies in your child’s recovery. As parents and caregivers, you’ll have a big job to do, and there may be changes we ask you to make in support of your child. We’ll support you along the way with tools, education, and emotional guidance so you can feel confident in your role.

Eating disorders rarely exist in isolation. Many of our clients also experience:

• Anxiety or panic attacks
• Depression and low self-worth
• Trauma or complex PTSD
• Obsessive-compulsive tendencies
• ADHD or executive functioning challenges
• Perfectionism and people-pleasing
• Gender identity exploration
• Relationship difficulties or family stress

Because our practice includes therapists with a wide range of specialties, we’re able to support the full spectrum of what you’re carrying. We treat eating disorders in context, helping you understand how they connect to the rest of your mental, emotional, and relational health.

We also recognize how systemic oppression—including weight stigma, racism, ableism, and transphobia—can impact both body image and access to care. We strive to provide inclusive, affirming services, grounded in our values of justice and cultural humility

When you reach out to us, we’ll schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation to understand your needs and answer any questions you may have. If it feels like a good fit, we’ll help match you with a therapist, dietitian, or both depending on your goals.

Your first session will be an intake appointment. This is where we’ll explore your story, gather background information, and begin to understand your relationship with food, body, and self.

All sessions are offered in-person at our Redwood City office or virtually via HIPAA-compliant telehealth across California. We do not accept insurance, but we’re happy to provide superbills for potential reimbursement if you have out-of-network benefits.

If you’re struggling with food, body image, or a complicated relationship with eating, know that you’re not alone and help is available. Whether you’re in the early stages of noticing disordered eating patterns or you’ve been navigating an eating disorder for years, you deserve care that is compassionate, attuned, and grounded in your lived experience.

We’re here to walk with you—no pressure, no shame, no judgment.
