Is Your Eating Disorder Weighing You Down?
Even though you’ve tried really hard to break free, you just can’t find your way- you feel miserable.
You have many talents- your friends and family think you’ve got it all together. And in some ways you do-except for this eating thing.
You feel distracted and irritable. All of the pain of
your eating disorder keep you from enjoying life. Sometimes you feel like such a failure.
All of the diet and self-help books and magazine articles haven’t quite done the trick. If anything, they have left you feeling more confused, powerless, and frustrated.

“Before I started working with Lisa, I was having daily breakdowns and bingeing/purging almost every time I ate anything. Lisa has been great to work with, because she has a very personal and respectful method of treatment, rather than the sterile and condescending manner with which previous therapists had addressed me. My time with Lisa helped me to understand and deal with my eating issues, as well as my depression. I am now able to focus my energies on more than just counting calories and monitoring minute changes in my weight. I have learned to allow my body to settle into the pattern it naturally would take - and no, that doesn’t mean I got fat, or let myself go. I have also made progress in my relationships with difficult family members, establishing boundaries and focusing on my own needs rather than trying to please everyone else. I would recommend Lisa to anyone with body issues, especially if they like puppies. ”
