If you think you might need help with your eating behaviors, you are probably wondering what that might be like. If you are struggling with anorexia (severely limiting your food intake below your body’s needs), binge eating (a sense of loss of control while eating large amounts of food in a short period of time), or bulimia (episodes of both binge eating and purging-- self-induced vomiting or use of laxatives, diuretics, fasting, or excessive exercise to control weight), or any combination of these behaviors, you might benefit from treatment to help you address this and regain a healthy relationship with food and your body.

Research tells us that therapy is effective at helping people improve their lives, so the decision to start counseling and to find a therapist that fits your needs is an important one. You are investing in your psychological and physical health so you can get the most out of your time in this world. That’s a totally worthy goal! But it’s hard to know how much to budget for this. You want a great counselor that can really help you more than anything else. But it does need to work for you financially.

So, you’ve taken the first step and admitted you need some help. The next step is often the hardest.  You know you have been struggling with your mental health. Maybe you just aren't dealing well with stress. You know you need a little help feeling better. But it's overwhelming to figure out who is best to help you.
