Health at Every Size® Healthcare Provider Listing

Through an intersectional feminist lens, I support clients in understanding the racist history of thinness in our culture and the systems at large that pressure us all to be thin, which has been placed on us for generations dating back to slavery and the discrimination of the black body. I help clients understand better ways to measure their health that are not weight-focused all while helping them achieve a better relationship with food and movement. For me, being a Health at Every Size® Provider means offering care and mental health treatment that is client-centered, without judgment of body size, shape, and weight, and with expert support when it comes to dealing with body image and weight stigma. Health at Every Size® Care is important to me because all people, regardless of body size, shape, or weight, deserve and need care without discrimination. The majority of my clients experience disordered eating and body image issues, which I assess for during an intake, and which lends an opportunity for me to provide the research that ASDAH has shared regarding health metrics. In addition to research and psychoeducation, I help clients consider body neutral thoughts through movement and connect them to resources that may help them feel connected to others who have experienced similar stigma.
