Eating Disorders

Do I have an unhealthy relationship with food? If you find yourself questioning this, then the answer is most likely yes. Tell me, what makes you wonder? Are you experiencing shame and guilt about your body? Do you find yourself skipping meals, dieting, fasting, calorie counting, overexercising, or struggling with knowing whether or not you are hungry or full? The truth is, you may be experiencing disordered eating. Before you begin shaming yourself, pause. Disordered eating is unfortunately

I have been working with eating disorders for almost 4 years. I utilize various modalities when treating eating disorders, such as Internal Family Systems, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I look through the lens of Health at Every Size and Intuitive Eating when treating eating disorders.

Eating disorders are often misunderstood and can be difficult to recognize, especially for those unfamiliar with them. Through my professional experience, I have worked with individuals facing a wide range of disordered eating challenges, including extreme restriction, binge eating, and ARFID. In supporting clients with these symptoms, we work together to uncover the root causes of these negative behaviors and develop practical skills and coping strategies.

I have expertise in disordered eating, body image and self esteem, particularly binge eating, body dysmorphia, restricting and over-exercise. Our work is a mix of understanding and modifying behaviors while also exploring the personal, family, social and cultural influences that contributed to their development.

I have over 10 years experience working with eating disorders and am a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist where I must be active in continuing education as the field grows and we learn more about the body and eating disorders. I work in a treatment team approach and often refer to trained dietitians and medical professionals to more fully support someone struggling with an eating disorder. I also provide support therapy via family therapy or parent sessions to support a loved on in recovery.

For the past seven years, I have worked with clients struggling with eating disorders at the partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient level. After working as a milieu therapist, primary therapist, and group therapy facilitator at an eating disorder treatment center, I began working as an outpatient therapist in private practice specifically focusing on members of the LGBTQ+ community who struggle with body image and eating

Food is one of the earliest ways we humans experience nurturance and interaction with a caring adult. food takes on many meanings about relationships, needs, control, and the value of self. The development of an eating disorder signals a problem in one or several of these areas; it arises as an attempt to solve this problem, by drawing attention to the problem, by pulling the family together to address symptoms of the eating disorder; or expressing/repressing feelings related to current problem.

Eating disorders are a range of psychological conditions that cause unhealthy eating habits to develop. They might start with an obsession with food, body weight, or body shape. In severe cases, eating disorders can cause serious health consequences and may even result in death if left untreated. Page Morris has extensive experience working with eating disorders and knowledge of the best programs around the country if that is needed for your individual treatment.

We will work together collaboratively to help you discover who you are at your core, heal what hurts, and engage genuinely with your true self, your relationships and your life.

I have several years of experience in treating Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for ARFID, Family Base Therapy for Anorexia and restrictive eating and a HAES aligned provider supporting binge eating disorder.

An eating disorder is a mental disorder defined by abnormal eating behaviors that adversely affect a person's physical or mental health. Common types include binge eating disorder, where a person eats a large amount in a short period of time; anorexia nervosa, where the person has an intense fear of gaining weight and restricts food or overexercises to manage this fear, & bulimia nervosa, where individuals eat a large quantity (binging) then try to rid themselves of the food (purging).

I have worked in clinics specialized in ED treatment and recovery. I am aware of most of the complications that can result from being malnourished or other disordered behaviors. Some of my past clients have had specific trauma around food or other medical issues that have prevented them from feeling comfortable eating or being present in their bodies. I believe that it is possible to be healthy and any size and that eating disorders do not have one "look".

I've been actively working with eating disorders since 2018. I have experience helping people with symptoms of food restriction, bulimia, and binge eating. I work from a Health At Every Size framework so that no matter where your ED is coming from, we'll start by meeting you where you are today. Whether you're brand new to the possibility of having an ED, or you need a hand in continuing the next step in your recovery, I'm here to help.

I follow the Health at Every Size (HAES) model and utilize intuitive eating tools to help people reconnect with their bodies and take care of themselves in whatever way is most life giving for them.

I believe that eating disorders show up for a reason and that healing from the eating disorder involves understanding and making peace with our complex histories and selves. Together we will work to cultivate compassion for your humanness and begin to heal your relationship with food and your body. I am honored to work with individuals whose journeys around pregnancy, race, sexual orientation, age, and gender identity intersect with their journeys around food and body.

My philosophy is that all foods fit. Societal pressures oftentimes reinforce the beliefs that for an individual to struggle with an eating disorder it must be physically apparent and symptoms must be "extreme." Whether it is restriction, bingeing, bingeing & purging, and/or heightened focus on eating specific foods, I believe that each person's recovery process is unique. My goal is to learn about your experience to tailor my therapeutic approach to meet your individual needs.

I have 11 years experience working in Eating Disorder Treatment. I worked 7 years at Children's Hospital Colorado as a primary therapist in their Eating Disorder Program in all levels of care from medical admission, inpatient, partial hospitalization and outpatient. When working with teens with eating disorders I utilize the evidence based, Family Based Treatment, where parents and caregivers are included in the therapy and treatment. For adults, I aim to empower you to take action in recovery.

I have experience working in treatment centers and my clinical supervisor I trained under has decades of eating disorder therapy experience. I utilize a non diet, fat positive, and weight inclusive approach to care. I take a collaborative approach and work closely with dietitians, primary care providers, and psychiatrists.
