Eating disorders affect individuals on multiple levels, impacting physical health, mental well-being, and emotional balance. At Earth’s Edge Wellness, we provide compassionate, holistic treatment designed to address not only eating disorders but also co-occurring conditions like anxiety and depression. Our virtual services make it possible for clients to access expert care while maintaining the flexibility to fit therapy into their lives.
Understanding Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are complex conditions involving unhealthy relationships with food, body image, and self-esteem. Common eating disorders include:
- Anorexia Nervosa: Characterized by extreme food restriction and an intense fear of weight gain.
- Bulimia Nervosa: Involves cycles of binge eating followed by purging behaviors like vomiting or excessive exercise.
- Binge Eating Disorder: Marked by recurrent episodes of consuming large amounts of food, often accompanied by feelings of guilt or shame.
These conditions frequently occur alongside mood disorders, such as depression or anxiety, complicating the path to recovery. Treating both the eating disorder and its underlying causes is essential for lasting healing.
Earth’s Edge Wellness: A Holistic Treatment Model
At Earth’s Edge Wellness, we go beyond treating symptoms to address the root causes of eating disorders. By combining traditional therapeutic methods with holistic practices, we create personalized treatment plans that support the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
Our Services
- Psychotherapy: We use evidence-based therapies like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients identify and resolve underlying emotional challenges. These therapies are particularly effective in managing co-occurring conditions such as anxiety and depression.
- Nutritional Support: Understanding the role of nutrition in mental and physical health, our team provides guidance on developing a positive relationship with food. Guidance includes meal support, which helps clients navigate mealtimes without fear or anxiety.
- Reiki and Shamanic Healing: These energy-based practices address recovery’s emotional and spiritual aspects, promoting inner peace and self-awareness.
- Yoga and Mindfulness: Body-centered practices like yoga and mindfulness teach clients how to reconnect with their bodies and manage stress in healthy ways.
- Virtual Retreats: Our retreats offer immersive opportunities for healing and self-discovery in a supportive, nurturing environment.
Addressing Mood Disorders Alongside Eating Disorders
Many individuals with eating disorders also experience mood disorders like depression or anxiety. Our integrated approach ensures that these co-occurring conditions are treated alongside disordered eating behaviors. For example:
- IFS Therapy: helps individuals address internal conflicts and foster self-compassion.
- Mindfulness Practices: reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.
- Nutritional Guidance: supports brain health and mood stabilization through diet.
By addressing these interconnected challenges, we empower clients to achieve lasting well-being.
