Your eating disorder controls your life.
We can help you find freedom.
Managing your relationship with food and your body can feel like an endless, exhausting battle. You’ve tried to change—countless times—but the daily struggles persist. Maybe you’re stuck in a cycle of obsessing over calories, avoiding social events because of food anxiety, or spending hours at the gym trying to “earn” your meals. Perhaps you’re a family member watching your loved one struggle with an eating disorder, feeling helpless and unsure of how to support them without saying the wrong thing. You’re searching for relief, for hope, for a way out.
Because eating disorders are complex and deeply individual, it’s essential to work with eating disorder therapists who truly understand them. Our team has advanced training and experience treating eating disorders in creative, flexible ways—never with a one-size-fits-all or rigid idea of recovery. We know what helps people heal, and we honor the unique path each person and family must take to get there.
Whether in Houston or anywhere in Texas, we offer in-person and virtual eating disorder therapy to meet you where you are.

mental health therapy for
Eating Disorders & Body Image
In our safe, trauma-informed environment, we’ll work together to:
- Dismantle the “good vs. bad” food mindset and challenge harmful cultural messages about bodies and worth
- Quiet your inner critic and replace it with radical self-compassion
- Address the root causes of your pain to find healing that lasts.
Our outpatient eating disorder treatment is designed to heal deeply—not just manage symptoms. We combine evidence-based and integrative approaches to support lasting recovery. To help you rebuild trust with food, we offer meal support in the office, at home, and in real-world settings like restaurants—practicing flexibility, easing anxiety, and rediscovering the joy of eating. When you’re ready, yoga therapy can help you restore balance with movement, reconnect with your body’s wisdom, and cultivate a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
Our trauma-informed eating disorder therapy in Houston isn’t about getting it perfect — it’s about connection, curiosity, and listening deeply to your body and inner world. We’ll walk beside you as you rebuild trust with your body, feel your emotions, learn nourishing boundaries, and rediscover balance on your own terms. We want you to live with freedom, confidence, and authenticity — not defined by an eating disorder, but by who you truly are.

Through yoga therapy and mind-body education, we help families and clients alike redefine their relationship with movement and embodiment—learning to approach the body with curiosity, respect, and care. Our goal is to help your family move from fear and confusion toward confidence, understanding, and lasting connection.

Healing eating disorders through
Yoga Therapy
For many in recovery, movement has become tangled with guilt, shame, or punishment. Our trauma-informed yoga therapy helps you reclaim movement as a source of nourishment, grounding, and self-trust. Through mindful movement, you’ll learn to listen to your body’s cues, release tension stored from years of stress or trauma, and create space for curiosity instead of criticism—for presence instead of perfectionistic performance.
This integrative approach bridges the gap between mind and body, supporting the work done in eating disorder therapy, EMDR, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Each session invites you to experience safety within your body again—redefining what movement means and helping you rebuild a relationship with your body that feels peaceful, attuned, and free.

program overview
Book a discovery call
Ketamine therapy can bring unconscious material to the surface—illuminating root issues that may never have been fully addressed in previous trauma or eating disorder therapy. By enhancing neuroplasticity, ketamine helps the brain become more open and adaptable to change, often improving mood, easing anxiety, and reducing the resistance that keeps old patterns in place. With new insights and a brain primed for healing, EMDR can then more effectively process and reframe distressing memories, emotions, and core beliefs. As the brain rewires and the weight of the past lifts, it becomes easier to break free from old coping patterns, reduce compulsive or self-critical behaviors, and make choices that genuinely support healing and growth. Together, this powerful combination supports faster relief, deeper emotional breakthroughs, and lasting change.

Other Details About Eating Disorder Therapy
It’s important to seek help as soon as you or a loved one recognize disordered eating patterns or body image distress. Early signs may include obsessing over calories, exercising to “earn” food, avoiding social events that involve eating, or experiencing intense shame or anxiety around food and body.
If you’re navigating this yourself or supporting a loved one, early intervention creates the best chance for long-term recovery—especially in an outpatient setting. The sooner you begin, the sooner we can help you or your family move toward healing.

When should someone seek help for an eating disorder?
Eating disorder therapy at Houston Healing Collective goes beyond symptom management—it’s about creating a more peaceful, authentic relationship with food, your body, and yourself. Our therapists draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy (DNMS), and psychoeducation to address the underlying trauma and attachment wounds that often fuel eating disorders.
We’ll work together to dismantle harmful food beliefs, challenge societal pressures, and quiet the relentless inner critic that drives the disorder. Support may also include meal support sessions—either in-office or out in the community—to help normalize eating, reduce anxiety, and bring more freedom to your relationship with food. Whether you’re an individual or a parent supporting a teen, your experience will be fully personalized, collaborative, and grounded in compassion.
What should I expect from eating disorder therapy?
Recovery is possible. While healing from an eating disorder takes time and often involves navigating complex emotional and relational patterns, we’ve seen countless clients move toward lives of freedom, confidence, and authenticity. With compassionate, targeted care, you or your loved one can heal your relationship with food and your body.
Can eating disorders be cured?
Eating disorders are serious and can lead to both physical and emotional complications if left untreated—including heart issues, bone loss, kidney problems, and long-term psychological distress. But beyond the medical risks, untreated eating disorders can rob people of joy, connection, and self-worth. Seeking help isn’t just about survival—it’s about creating a more meaningful, fulfilling life.
What are the risks of not treating an eating disorder?
Treatment length varies from person to person and depends on the type and severity of the eating disorder, as well as your unique goals and circumstances. At Houston Healing Collective, we tailor the frequency and duration based on what works best for you and adjust as your needs evolve.
How long does treatment typically last?
While medication isn’t a primary treatment for eating disorders, it can be helpful in managing co-occurring issues like anxiety, depression, or OCD. If medication becomes part of your treatment plan, we’ll coordinate with a trusted psychiatrist to ensure care is aligned and supportive. Ketamine has also been shown to be helpful for eating disorders.
Is medication a part of eating disorder treatment?
Dietitians play a critical role in recovery by helping clients normalize eating patterns, address nutritional needs, and reduce food anxiety. We partner with highly experienced eating disorder dietitians and provide referrals tailored to your needs. Our therapists will work closely with your dietitian and any other providers involved in your care to ensure you’re fully supported every step of the way.
What is the role of dietitians in treating eating disorders?
Finding the right fit matters. You deserve a therapist who truly understands eating disorders and offers compassionate, individualized care. At Houston Healing Collective, we provide a trauma-informed, collaborative approach that incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), and Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy (DNMS).
We do not accept insurance, which allows us to provide flexible, personalized care without constraints. We encourage you to connect with us directly for a discovery call to see if we’re the right fit for your healing journey.

back to questions
Is it possible for me to fully recover from my eating disorder or heal my complex trauma? I feel like the work never ends.
Yes! It’s possible to lead a more free and fulfilling life that honors your past and creates space for a brighter future. If your healing journey has ever felt disorganized or like it’s one step forward and two steps back, our innovative and specialized treatment options could likely be beneficial for you.

back to questions
I’m not sure about ketamine or psychedelics in general. Can I still work with you?
Absolutely! While Houston Healing Collective offers ketamine-assisted therapy, we recognize that it's not for everyone! We are trained to treat eating disorders, trauma and anxiety, and family conflict through diverse therapy modalities, including EMDR & DBT, allowing us to find a treatment plan that works for you and your family.

Can you guarantee that I’ll see results? I feel like I’ve tried everything already.
We understand your frustration with your journey so far and are here to honor your experience. That said, there isn’t a guarantee of what will or won't work for you. Our biggest intention with building your care plan is to make sure you have flexibility and fluidity as we determine which method(s) are the most aligned for you or your loved one.
back to questions
I’ve never been part of a community or group while receiving care before. What can I expect?
While it might seem counterintuitive to involve strangers in your healing journey—especially if you’ve worked one-on-one with care providers in the past—our clients often see faster, more effective results when incorporating our groups and retreats. This is because much of the depression, anxiety, and shame you’ve experienced in the past has taken place in solitude. But at Houston Healing Collective, we believe that true healing happens in relationships and in community.

Do you take insurance?
Houston Healing Collective is not in-network with any insurance panels in order to protect your privacy and allow for flexible, personalized treatment. However, we will be able to provide you with an itemized receipt (called a superbill) that you can submit to insurance for potential reimbursement.
