Eating Disorder Therapy
Are You Enduring Disordered Eating?
Every day, people struggle with finding a nourishing balance in their minds and hearts when considering their eating habits. These struggles could range from feeling "stuck" in the constant influence of diet culture, battling negative body image, or grappling with disordered eating.
Our mission is to guide you towards a harmonious relationship with food and your body, fostering a sense of peace that goes beyond the challenges you may have faced for years. We understand that each person's journey with food is unique, and our therapy is tailored to meet your individual needs.
Being able to challenge the mindset that suggests you're "not sick enough" or that things aren't "that bad” could make all the difference in finding the right solution and habits to help you lead a more fulfilling life. At Champaign Counseling, we strive to create a space that validates your struggles, regardless if you “fit” whatever version of eating disorders you have seen before. You are worthy of support and treatment, and we are here for you.
Find Peace With Your Food & Body
For some, disordered eating has been a lifelong battle where they struggle to remain in control of their health. For others, the pressure of society's diet culture pushed them into disordered eating habits. Even after years of feeling trapped by disordered eating, there is hope for a brighter future.
Our experienced therapists work with individuals across the entire spectrum of disordered eating, from those struggling with chronic or "yo-yo dieting" to those diagnosed with eating disorders. We guide you towards rediscovering a sense of peace with food and your body, helping you break free from the cycle of guilt and shame.

Health at Every Size and Weight-Inclusive Lens
Our therapy embraces the Health at Every Size (HAES) philosophy, acknowledging that well-being is not determined by a number on the scale.
We prioritize your overall health, both physical and mental, without focusing solely on weight. Our weight-inclusive lens fosters an environment that promotes self-acceptance and self-compassion.
