Eating Disorder Therapy
Compassionate support for food, body image, and shame
Eating struggles are rarely just about food.
Disordered eating and eating disorders can become ways of coping with stress, shame, control, fear, numbness, grief, trauma, or feeling disconnected from your body. Therapy is a place to understand those patterns without judgment.
Kaelynn Buchanan at KAE Days Counseling offers supportive therapy for clients navigating food concerns, body image distress, emotional eating patterns, restriction, shame, and the deeper issues that may sit underneath.

Food and control
How food rules, restriction, bingeing, purging, or rituals may create temporary relief while keeping you stuck.
Body image
The shame, comparison, checking, avoidance, or criticism that can make it hard to feel at home in your body.
Emotional pain
The anxiety, trauma, attachment wounds, perfectionism, or stress that may fuel eating disorder patterns.
How Kae Approaches Eating Disorder Therapy
Kaelynn works from a whole-person, trauma-informed lens. That means therapy does not treat eating symptoms as random or shameful. Instead, it looks at what those symptoms may be trying to manage, protect, or communicate.
Her approach may include DBT skills, CBT, mindfulness, emotional regulation, body awareness, and trauma-informed support. When trauma is part of the story, trauma therapy may also be helpful. You can also learn more about Kaelynn.
