Company Overview

Founded in 2008, The Body Image Therapy Center offers outpatient treatment, education, phone consultation, and psychological testing for eating, weight, and body image disorders including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, compulsive eating/binge eating disorder and bariatric surgery patients.

Our therapists work with children, adolescents and adults. In addition, we are happy to see clients who have general mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship troubles, low self-esteem, trouble in school or professional life, etc. We also have expertise in addiction treatment and relapse prevention.

Do you:

  • Constantly think about your food, weight, or body image?
  • Have difficulty concentrating because of those thoughts?
  • Worry that your last meal is making you fat?
  • Experience guilt or shame around eating?
  • Count calories whenever you eat or drink?
  • Feel "out-of-control" when it comes to food?
  • Binge eat twice a week or more?
  • Believe you are fat when others reassure you that you are thin?
  • Obsess that your stomach, hips, thighs, or buttocks are too big?
  • Weigh yourself several times a day?
  • Exercise more than an hour every day to burn calories?
  • Exercise to lose weight even if you are ill or injured?
  • Label foods as "good" and "bad?"
  • Vomit after eating?
  • Use laxatives or diuretics to keep your weight down?
  • Severely limit your food intake?

If you answered yes to any of these question, even if you don’t fit the exact diagnosis for an eating disorder, your attitudes about body image, weight and food behaviors may need to be seriously addressed. We can help.
