Charis Stiles LCSW
I work with folks who are recovering from disordered eating and/or wanting to reconnect with their bodies. I am centered in self-compassion work, and I help folks explore ways they restrict in multiple areas of their life (not just with food or exercise). I help clients reconnect with themselves and re-parent themselves, learning to replace shaming, critical cognitive patterns with messages of validation and comfort.

I work with individuals, as well as their support systems, who struggle with eating disorders, disordered eating habits, over-exercise, or poor body image. In regards to supporting parents who have kids with eating body issues, I aim to provide psychoeducation, increase healthy familial communication and understanding surrounding helpful vs unhelpful support, decrease emotional enmeshment if present, and highlight parents' own needs and self-care if applicable. I offer individual, couples, and family therapy.

Hayley Miller, LPCC, LPC, RD, CDN
I am a dually licensed LPCC and RD. I take a HAES approach to sessions and will help parents to understand how to speak about food in a neutral, intuitive way. I teach intuitive eating to clients and their parents and will have at times joint sessions with the adolescent and parents if the adolescent is okay with it. I practice a person-centered approach to counseling and will gently push the client while also meeting them where they are at.

Katherine Piel, LMFT
My practice is rooted firmly in the principles of HAES and Intuitive Eating. I have experience working in treatment center settings in addition to my private practice. Collaboration with family members and a united clinical team is vital to the success of treatment. We all live in a diet-culture, weight-centered, weight-biased, fat-phobic society and sometimes the loved ones of clients need support and learning/un-learning of their own to gain awareness and understanding of the influence of society on values, belief-systems, and what is often mistaken for "health." I help families understand what the client is experiencing so that they can become allies in recovery for their loved one.

Libby Supan, LMFT & CIEC
Are you sick and tired of struggling with food/body image/diet/exercise/etc all the time? When you are "in it" your anxiety and/or depression gets worse. Sometimes you wonder if it's the "food stuff" that increases the anxiety/depression or vice versa? I know exactly how you are feeling: uncomfortable in your own skin, fantasize of a different body, unworthy, disgusting etc. You do not have to live this any more, and I look forward to getting you there so you can focus on what actually matters.
I'm a licensed therapist and certified intuitive eating coach and able to work with both types of clients in my separate practices. If you're unsure what would work best for you, we can figure this out together. I am all about real life skills, tools and strategies for myself and you. I will give a mix of logistical skills as well as a psychological insight. I want you to get better and therefore I know you will not need to see me forever (unless you want to). If you are ready and willing to do the work, then you'll be on your way. My goal for you is to leave therapy knowing how to do it on your own and feeling confident to push through, because you know you got this. I am direct and utilize the following modalities: solution focused, CBT and Client centered.
I truly believe that people can change. In order for change to happen there has to be a desire and willingness. There can be several factors at play with developing eating disorders and disordered eating: unhealthy learned behaviors, societal norms, perfectionism, trauma, social media and our environment and DIET CULTURE (to name a few). You have the power to unlearn these unhealthy coping skills or bad habits. I know you can change because I've seen in with my clients and myself. Besides therapy (helping people) being a passion, so is dancing. I LOVE to move my body and dance. I don't discriminate against anyone. I support "Health at Every Size", "Intuitive Eating", "All Foods Fit" and "Body Neutrality" movements. If you want to learn more about how I can help you, shoot me a message.
Rachel Coleman, MFT, CEDS
As a therapist treating Eating Disorders for over a decade at multiple levels of care, I have seen the challenges of feeding a child, self, or loved one in a nutritious yet flexible manner. Body acceptance and positive home environment are keys to success but I also treat the clinical components of Eating Disorders and mood disorders that trigger misuse of food. I am an advocate for body acceptance, intuitive eating, and viewing food as self-care. I utilize multiple treatment components including traditional CBT/DBT but more eclectic art therapy, book studies, and games to help teenage clients break free from maladaptive eating patterns.
