Eating Disorder Therapy
With Stacey Morvitz, LCSW
I’m a therapist that brings years of experience working in both outpatient and inpatient eating disorder settings, helping clients build a more peaceful relationship with food, body, and self.
Do you think about food constantly?
Do you feel guilty or ashamed when you eat?
Have you tried to “just eat normally,” but it never seems to stick?
Eating disorders aren’t about willpower. You deserve support that helps you feel seen, not judged.
Clients Come to Me When They’re
Bingeing, purging, or restricting
Consumed by food or weight thoughts
Eating in secret
Overexercising
Losing interest in hobbies
Pulled away from relationships
Tired of trying alone
Please note: I only work with adults 18+
Eating disorders often develop during times when something felt overwhelming, unsafe, or out of control.
Your behaviors helped you survive back then. But now they’re keeping you stuck.
How I Approach Eating Disorder Therapy
No one treatment approach looks the same for everyone. We start by understanding how this began. What was happening in your life at the time? What purpose did the eating disorder serve then, and what purpose is it serving now? You don’t need to relive every detail, we look at the emotional patterns underneath the behaviors.
Eating disorder therapy doesn’t just involve talking about the eating disorder, because you’re more than that. It involves talking about all the aspects that make up who you are.
Together, we replace those patterns with tools that actually support you. I also collaborate with dietitians and doctors when appropriate, because healing requires a full team working in harmony.
Modalities I Use
-
Helps us understand the roots of your eating disorder and makes sense of old patterns that still shape your behaviors.
-
Supports you in reconnecting with your values so your choices reflect what you want, not what the disorder demands.
-
Builds practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and coping in healthier ways.
-
Helps shift rigid food rules and unhelpful beliefs so you can make balanced, supportive choices.
Recovering from an eating disorder isn’t about discipline. It’s about understanding why you needed these behaviors, and learning how to care for yourself in ways that actually work.
Feel Grounded Again
Recovering from an eating disorder can feel overwhelming and isolating, but you don’t have to do it alone.
After Working With Me, Clients Report
More mental space
Less food noise
Eating without fear
More energy
Stronger relationships

Freedom from rigid rules
Life is different when the eating disorder is no longer in charge.
About Stacey Morvitz, LCSW
I understand how consuming an eating disorder is. I’ve spent years walking with people through this work, and I’ve seen the transformation that happens when they reach the other side. Recovery doesn’t happen overnight, but it does happen.
My approach is warm, straightforward, and grounded in curiosity. We’ll explore what’s underneath your patterns, build practical tools, and take steady, supportive steps forward. You don’t have to rush. There’s no timeline for healing—just the next step that feels right.
