Eating Disorder Counseling in Schaumburg Great Lakes Psychology Group

We can help you take back control.

Eating disorders can not only harm your physical state but can greatly impact you mentally as well. It is common for those suffering from an eating disorder to also experience depression or anxiety symptoms. Although many people believe that only younger women are at risk of eating disorders, they can actually affect anyone regardless of their age or gender. Unfortunately, this inaccurate reflection can make it difficult for some individuals to receive the help they need.

An eating disorder doesn’t define you.

It can be scary to take the first step toward treatment. However, the techniques and methods available to help treat eating disorders have proven to be highly effective. Working with a therapist can also help reduce the feelings of isolation that you may be experiencing. Therapy allows for a judgment-free space to explore specific events that led to your current relationship with food. Meeting with a therapist can help you work through any emotional issue making it difficult to overcome your eating disorder.
