Disordered Eating & Body Image Therapy

Disordered Eating & Body Image Therapy2025-03-31T06:49:17-07:00

Disordered eating and body image struggles are deeply personal—and often misunderstood. Whether you’re restricting, bingeing, obsessing over appearance, or battling a silent inner critic, these patterns can impact every area of your life.

At Earth’s Edge Wellness in Laguna Beach, we offer holistic eating disorder treatment that goes far beyond surface-level behavior management. Our unique hybrid model blends traditional psychotherapy, somatic healing, and nutritional therapy, giving you the tools to heal from the inside out.

With virtual and in-person therapy options, we serve clients throughout Orange County and beyond.

What We Treat: A Full Spectrum of Food & Body Challenges

Eating disorders are complex and don’t always fit a textbook diagnosis. That’s why our Laguna Beach team customizes each treatment plan to match your story, your symptoms, and your goals.

Eating Disorders
  • Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)

    Often misidentified as “picky eating,” ARFID can severely impact nutrition and quality of life. We treat ARFID through gentle exposure, nervous system regulation, and supportive nutrition work.

  • Binge Eating Disorder (BED)

    BED is the most common eating disorder in the U.S. and often fueled by emotional triggers. We use trauma-informed therapy, emotional regulation work, and mindfulness to help clients break the binge cycle without shame.

  • Anorexia & Bulimia Treatment

    Restriction, purging, and obsession with body size are symptoms—not identity. We address the root emotional wounds while supporting safe nourishment, body acceptance, and nervous system healing.

  • Other Food and Body Issues

    From chronic dieting and orthorexia to post-surgical body image challenges, we help clients of all genders and body types rebuild self-trust and emotional safety around food.

  • Meal Support & Nutritional Counseling

    Healing your relationship with food means more than knowing what to eat—it means learning how to eat with presence, ease, and compassion. Our team includes nutrition professionals who specialize in disordered eating and non-diet approaches.

Why Holistic Treatment Makes the Difference

Traditional eating disorder treatment often focuses on meal plans, calorie counts, and surface-level behavior change. At Earth’s Edge, we know that food is just the symptom—the real work happens in the nervous system, the emotions, and the belief systems you carry about your body and your worth.

Our Laguna Beach eating disorder program includes:

  • Mind-Body Integration: Combining trauma-informed therapy with somatic practices, mindfulness, and energy healing
  • Team-Based Support: Collaborating with nutritionists, therapists, and holistic providers who communicate and evolve your care plan as you grow
  • Virtual & Hybrid Options: Flexible access to care whether you’re in Orange County or out of state
  • Compassionate Structure: Gentle accountability without rigidity, and recovery without shame
Binge Eating Disorder

You Are Not Alone—And Recovery Is Possible

According to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD), eating disorders affect nearly 30 million people in the U.S., and have the second highest mortality rate of any mental illness. But they are also highly treatable—especially when approached holistically.

At Earth’s Edge Wellness, we don’t just treat behaviors. We help you reconnect to your body, rebuild your self-worth, and create a sustainable, peaceful relationship with food.

Real Words from Real Clients

“I spent years stuck in a restrict-binge cycle. Earth’s Edge was the first place that helped me feel safe in my own body again—without judgment.”

— Former Client, BED Recovery

“Their approach to ARFID wasn’t forceful or rigid—it was gentle, somatic, and actually worked. I’m eating foods now that I hadn’t touched in 15 years.”
