I have helped clients address the underlying issues resulting in eating disorders as well as assisting them to create and sustain the behavioral changes needed for more than 30 years.
We treat binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, and night eating syndrome. Dr. Sala is trained in CBT for eating disorders as well as FBT for eating disorders (which is the best treatment to date for children and adolescents with eating disorders).
Each of us faces obstacles and difficulties in life differently, and at times we can all use help. Individuals frequently seek my services during times of transition, when decision making appears to have a greater impact on our future directions.
Perfectionism and a lack of self-acceptance lie at the core of many eating disorders. I teach people how to unconditionally accept themselves instead of trying to obtain the perfect body. I also teach people how to alleviate stress and emotional problems which may very well give rise to eating problems and disorders.
I offer a non-judgmental and nurturing environment where individuals struggling with eating disorders can explore their emotions, body image, and relationship with food through creative modalities, fostering self-compassion, self-expression, and healing on their journey.
