Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, MSc
I'm familiar with a variety of theories about eating disorders that we might draw from to understand what's happening for you. One person's emotional and social experience of an eating disorder might be vastly different from another's, so my aim will be to understand your unique experience. I know that eating disorders can feel unending for some—it might be hard to imagine life without it. Sometimes we need to understand what the eating disorder does for you in order to find other ways to fulfill those needs. There can be an incredible amount of shame and misunderstanding because fatphobia, sexism, racism, and other forms of discrimination so often shape what we hear about eating disorders. It might be important to unpack what you've been taught to feel about food, eating, or your body. My aim is to make space to explore the eating disorder on your own terms and from a compassionate lens to the underlying pain you're in.

When you feel like you need to control what you eat and feel guilty if you don't follow certain rules about food, you might be getting caught in the vicious cycle of an eating disorder. An eating disorder is a complex relationship with food that affects people of all ages and genders. There are different types of eating disorders, but symptoms typically range from a mild preoccupation with food and body image to a deep fear of gaining weight, body dysmorphia, excessive exercising, purging, and binging.
Eating disorders are insidious conditions that creep up over time. Often it starts in high school as a desire to lose a few pounds, tone up, and be healthier. However, it can take over your whole life and make you feel helpless and trapped in an endless cycle of preoccupation about what you eat and how you look. Eating disorders cause intense feelings of shame and guilt which manifest when you think you have eaten too much food or the wrong sort of food. This creates a cycle of overeating followed by a need to diet or exercise to make up for the digression of food rules.
Additionally, negative body image has been shown to be linked to eating disorders. Over time, your body image concerns can lead to attempts to control how you look. You might be trying different diets, exercising more, or trying to eat healthier. This could mean cutting out food groups, fasting, and/or excessive exercising to control your shape and weight. These are painful cycles that can leave you feeling frustrated with yourself and at a loss as to how to break free from the endless preoccupation of food and weight.
If you are wondering if you have an eating disorder or know a loved one who is struggling, do not hesitate to reach out. We have helped many people restore their relationship with food and their bodies to live a more balanced life. Please reach out if you would like to learn more.

Eating disorders are complex conditions that affect both the body and mind. They can lead to severe physical and emotional consequences, impacting every aspect of a person's life. With my expertise and deep understanding of eating disorders, I offer personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs.
Using evidence-based approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), I work collaboratively with you to address the underlying factors contributing to your eating disorder.

My goal is to support you in developing a healthier relationship with food, your body, and yourself. I provide a judgment-free and empathetic space where we can address the underlying issues, challenge distorted beliefs, and develop practical skills to manage triggers and navigate recovery.
