Below are the questions most people have before reaching out for help with binge eating, bulimia, compulsive overeating, emotional eating, GLP-1 (Ozempic/Wegovy/Mounjaro) weight regain, or post-bariatric relapse. You’re not alone — these fears and questions are very common.
1. “Is this going to be like a diet program?”
No. My approach is not a diet, weight-loss plan, calorie plan, or restrictive program.
Many of my clients have been hurt by: dieting weight-loss programs restriction nutrition rules pressure or shame
What I offer is entirely different: a clinical, trauma-informed, mind-body approach that treats the emotional, subconscious, and nervous-system layers behind your eating patterns.
2. “Will I be judged for how I eat?”
Absolutely not. This is the #1 fear people have before contacting me.
People worry I will think they’re: weak out of control disgusting failing “the worst case you’ve ever seen”
The truth is: Your eating patterns make perfect sense based on what you’ve lived through. You will never be judged here. You are safe.
3. “Do I have to talk about things I’m not ready to talk about?”
No. We move at your pace, not mine.
You will never be forced to: share trauma before you’re ready talk about something overwhelming revisit memories that feel unsafe
Safety and pacing are the foundation of this work.
4. “How do you treat binge eating or bulimia? What’s your approach?”
My approach blends clinical therapy with mind-body and subconscious healing including:
Clinical Hypnosis Brainspotting Internal Family Systems (IFS) Somatic & Polyvagal Regulation RN-level metabolic & hormonal insight Behavioral and habit change
This combination helps you calm binge urges, heal emotional triggers, change subconscious patterns, and rebuild stability from the inside out.
5. “Does this work if I’ve tried everything and nothing helped?”
Yes — these are the people I help most.
Most clients come to me after trying: therapy diets Ozempic/Wegovy/Mounjaro bariatric surgery willpower books and self-help support groups
Your brain and body can heal — even if nothing has worked before.
6. “How quickly will I start to feel better?”
Most people feel relief within the first few sessions because we target: binge urges emotional overwhelm shame nervous system tension
This isn’t magic, and it takes time, but people usually feel something shifting early on — which builds hope.
7. “What do sessions look like?”
Sessions are designed to be emotionally safe, calming, and structured.
Depending on your needs, we may use: talking therapy hypnosis brainspotting somatic grounding parts work (IFS) behavioral rewiring
You will never be pushed or overwhelmed. You’ll always know what’s happening.
8. “Do you take insurance?”
I am a private-pay provider. However, I can offer:
Superbills (if your plan reimburses for LPC services) HSA/FSA payment Flexible scheduling options
Many clients prefer private pay for privacy and flexibility.
9. “How much does it cost?”
Rates vary depending on service type. I offer:
individual sessions hypnosis sessions brainspotting sessions specialized eating-disorder care
You will receive full pricing information before scheduling.
10. “Do you work with GLP-1 regain or bariatric relapse?”
Yes — this is one of my specialties.
Clients often ask: “Why did I regain all the weight?” “Why did I start bingeing again?” “Can this be fixed?”
Yes. GLP-1 medications and bariatric surgery do not heal the emotional, hormonal, or subconscious patterns behind eating. My program does.
11. “What if I’m too embarrassed to talk about my eating?”
This is one of the most common concerns.
Please know: You won’t shock me You won’t be judged You won’t be shamed You won’t be pushed
This is a safe, compassionate environment.
12. “Can you help if I also have trauma or anxiety?”
Yes — most clients with eating disorders do.
I treat: trauma neglect shame loneliness panic emotional overwhelm
Your eating makes sense when we understand these layers.
13. “Is this confidential?”
Yes — fully confidential.
People often fear: a partner finding out someone judging them being “exposed”
This is not a diet. This is healing.
Your privacy is protected at every step.
14. “Will you tell me what I can or can’t eat?”
No. I am not a dietitian and I do not prescribe meal plans.
I currently work primarily with adults. However, I am pursuing training in ARFID and sensory-based eating challenges for future services.
I help you: regulate your emotions calm your nervous system reduce binge urges build internal stability heal subconscious patterns
15. “Do you work with children or teens?”
