All bodies are welcome here

You’ve been told if you just tried harder—ate better, moved more—you’d finally feel confident & happy.

You’ve tried it all—clean eating, workout plans, mindset shifts. But peace with food and your body still feels out of reach. If you’re tired of forcing your way into confidence, you’re not alone.

At Embodied Health Counseling, we work with people who’ve spent years trying to feel better in their bodies, only to end up more disconnected. We help you explore what’s beneath the struggle and rebuild trust, safety, and ease within yourself.

The Problem We Help With

You’ve worked hard to care for your body, feel confident, and do things “right.” But beneath it all, your relationship with food, movement, and your body still feels complicated.

Maybe you:

  • Feel guilt, confusion, or anxiety around food—even when you're “trying to be healthy”

  • Struggle to move your body in a way that feels kind or sustainable and not an obligation

  • Constantly second-guess your hunger, cravings, or needs

  • Feel disconnected from your body or frustrated by how it looks or feels

  • Wonder why, despite so much effort, you still don’t feel at peace

  • Doubt your ability to trust yourself

  • You're a parent who’s starting to see how your own relationship with food and body image may be affecting your child—or you're walking alongside your child as they navigate their own struggles with disordered eating.

Our team helps you untangle all of that. We support high-achieving professionals, caregivers, and deep feelers in understanding the why behind the struggle—and gently reconnecting with their body from a place of compassion and curiosity.

Our Approach

At Embodied Health Counseling, we believe healing happens when you're met with compassion—not control. Our work centers around helping you reconnect with food, movement, and your body in a way that feels supportive, not overwhelming.

Our approach is:

  • Rooted in intuitive eating, mindfulness, and somatic awareness, supporting you in building trust with your body and its cues—without shame.

  • Weight-inclusive and trauma-informed, recognizing that healing happens within the context of your full lived experience—not outside of it.

  • Collaborative and client-led, because you are the expert on your body, your history, and your healing.

  • Curious and non-judgmental, meaning we notice and explore the parts of you that may turn to control, rigidity, or disconnection as a way to feel safe—and meet them with curiosity and care.

We know you’ve held it together for a long time. This is a space where you don’t have to. Our role is to walk beside you as you begin to rebuild trust, reconnect with your body, and redefine what nourishment, rest, and care mean for you.

Who We Work With

We work with people who are often the go-to person in their world—therapists, creatives, entrepreneurs, caregivers, and high-achievers—who are outwardly capable but inwardly feeling stuck when it comes to food, movement, and body image.

You might resonate with our work if:

  • You’ve tried to “do health right,” but still feel anxious, disconnected, or ashamed around food

  • You’ve moved through therapy or self-development work and are ready to explore your relationship with your body on a deeper level

  • You’re tired of bouncing between control and burnout

  • You want a healing space that honors nuance, identity, and your whole story

  • You value a weight-inclusive, anti-diet, trauma-informed approach to care

You don’t have to shrink, perform, or perfect your way into healing. We meet you exactly where you are—with curiosity and care

How We Help

Step 1 - Free Consult Call

This is a low-pressure space to share what’s been coming up for you around food, movement, or body image.

We’ll talk about your hopes, your concerns, and what kind of support might feel most helpful. You don’t need to have it all figured out to reach out—this is just where the process begins.

Step 2 - Personalized Support

Ongoing 1:1 counseling that’s collaborative and client-led. Together, we’ll work at your pace. Sessions are guided by your lived experience, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Our work draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS), intuitive eating, somatic practices, and a social justice lens to gently explore the parts of you that seek control, safety, or structure through food, movement or your body.

Step 3 - Rebuild Body Trust

We’ll help you reconnect with your cues and redefine nourishment, rest, and care—on your terms.

This work isn’t about doing it perfectly. It’s about building a relationship with your body that feels curious, compassionate, and sustainable.

You don’t have to figure this out alone—and you don’t have to keep pushing through. Whether you’re just beginning to question your relationship with food or you’re deep in your healing journey, we’re here to support you.

  • At Embodied Health Counseling we focus on providing highly tailored, individualized support. Our caseloads are small as we value above all else the relationships we have with our clients. Working outside of insurance allows us to provide this standard of care, protect your privacy and determine what is appropriate for your care without insurance dictating our treatment plans as some plans only allow clients to see a dietitian 4-5x/year which we truly believe is inadequate.

    Our practice is out of network with insurance which means that we provide superbills for clients to submit to their insurance instead. We also work with Reimbursify to submit superbills on your behalf too.

    We do have a limited number of sliding scale spots. You can inquire about these in your consult call if interested

  • We are an entirely virtual practice supporting clients in California, New York as well as Arizona, Colorado, Michigan, New Jersey and Virginia.

  • Yes. Our practice offers two options for superbills. We can either provide you with a monthly superbill to submit yourself or we can submit it using our partner Reimbursify. We can not guarantee reimbursement.
