Bulimia
Understanding Bulimia: You're Not Alone
Bulimia is a deeply painful struggle that can affect anyone, regardless of age, background, or body type. It often involves cycles of binge eating followed by behaviors like vomitting, excessive exercise, or fasting—all driven by overwhelming emotions and the feeling to regain control.
If this sounds familiar, please know that you're not alone—and you don’t have to go through it in silence. Individual therapy offers a safe, non-judgmental space where you can begin to understand the patterns behind bulimia, heal the emotional pain that fuels it, and build a more compassionate relationship with your body and yourself.
Healing is possible. We're here to walk with you every step of the way.
