Eating Disorder Therapy You Can Trust in Spokane, WA

Eating disorders are not just about food. They are rooted in deep emotional pain, distorted self-image, and attempts to gain control. The journey to recovery in Spokane, Washington, begins with expert support from Life Directions Counseling with trusted eating disorder therapy.

Types of Eating Disorders We Treat

Each eating disorder presents its own challenges, but they all deserve the same respect and attention. At Life Directions Counseling, we support individuals facing:

• Anorexia Nervosa: Characterized by severe restriction of food, intense fear of weight gain, and distorted body image.
• Bulimia Nervosa: Involves cycles of binge eating followed by purging behaviors like vomiting or excessive exercise.
• Binge Eating Disorder: Includes episodes of eating large amounts of food with feelings of guilt or loss of control.
• ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder): Involves extreme picky eating or food avoidance without body image concerns.

Many people also experience disordered eating patterns that don’t fit neatly into one category but are still harmful and deserving of care.

How Therapy Helps Heal More Than the Body

Recovery is not just about eating “normally.” It’s about uncovering and reshaping the thoughts, beliefs, and feelings that drive the disorder. Therapy addresses:

• Negative body image and perfectionism
• Anxiety, depression, or trauma fueling disordered behaviors
• Emotional triggers that lead to bingeing, restricting, or purging
• Unhelpful thought patterns and self-criticism
• Self-worth and identity beyond physical appearance

Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness techniques, therapy helps you develop a healthier relationship with food, your body, and yourself.
