FAQ

  • What is the difference between a therapy and coaching?

    Therapy:

    - Can diagnose and 'treat' eating disorders.

    - Can diagnose and treat other co-morbid issues (e.g. depression, anxiety, substance abuse, etc.

    - Therapists are trained to help clients work on underlying issues exploring WHY the eating disorder might have developed.

    - Therapy sessions are generally one hour and take place in an office setting.

    Coaching:

    - Does not diagnose conditions or treat them. Instead, helps support the work and goals of the client's clinicians. 

    - Refers to the therapist for treatment of any co-morbid issues (e.g. depression, anxiety, substance abuse, etc.)

    - Coaches are trained to work only on the "here and now" helping the client accomplish day-to-day behavior challenges.

    - Coaching sessions can be held anywhere, anytime the client needs them - in the home, at the grocery store, at the clothing store, at work, at school, at restaurants, etc. and coaches can be hired for 24/7 live-ins.

  • Do you have any requirements for us to work together?

    - I do not have any age or diagnos(es) requirements.

    - I require that you are meeting with a physician, an eating disorder therapist and/or dietitian and following any recommended medical follow-ups, and that I am able to collaborate with them.

    -I can provide virtual services via videoconferencing anywhere in the world, time zones permitting.

  • What are your fees? Do you take insurance?

    I do not take insurance and currently only over private-pay services.

    Fees are individualized based on complexity and specific needs, among other considerations.
