Eating Disorder Treatment

At Rare, our clinicians specialize in eating disorder and body image treatment for adolescents and adults.

Eating Disorder Treatment

Healing can feel overwhelming. You don't have to do it alone.

Our clinicians provide therapy for depression, anxiety, trauma, and a range of other mental health concerns.

Our Approach

September is National Suicide Prevention Month.

Suicidal thoughts and behaviors can intersect with so many of the concerns we work with in therapy, including trauma, eating disorders, body image concerns, anxiety, depression, and other mental health struggles.

Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses, and the impact extends far beyond food and body image. Research has found significant overlap between eating disorders and suicide risk, including elevated rates of suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts, and suicide-related mortality.

Trauma can also have a profound impact on the way we experience ourselves, our bodies, our relationships, and the world around us. Sometimes the ways we cope with what we’ve experienced can become difficult to untangle, especially when we’ve been carrying it for a long time.

That matters.

It means we cannot minimize someone’s pain because they are still going to work, going to school, showing up for their family, or “look healthy.”

Someone can be functioning and still be deeply unwell.

Someone can carry the impact of trauma, struggle with their relationship with food or their body, or quietly experience thoughts of suicide without anyone around them realizing how much they’re holding.

And someone does not have to reach a crisis point before they deserve support.

If you or someone you love is struggling with trauma, an eating disorder, body image concerns, mental health concerns, or thoughts of suicide, please reach out for support.

If you’re experiencing a mental health crisis or thinking about suicide, call or text 988 to connect with the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

You don’t have to wait until it gets worse.

Fall has a way of filling up quickly.

Work picks back up.
School starts.
Appointments multiply.
Plans get made.
Everyone suddenly needs something.

And before you know it, your calendar is completely full.

A reminder that you are allowed to leave some space.

You can say no without having a “good enough” reason.

You can decline plans you don’t actually want to attend.

You can stop volunteering yourself for everything.

You can have a do nothing day without needing to justify it.

Boundaries aren’t about caring less about other people.

Sometimes they’re about remembering that you are a person in your own life, too. 🤎

September has a funny way of feeling like a second January.

New routines.
New schedules.
New goals.
New habits.

And somewhere along the way, “I want to feel better” can quietly turn into “I need to be better.”

Especially when diet culture starts dressing itself up as a fresh start.

A new season doesn’t mean you need a new body.

You don’t need to “get back on track.” You don’t need to compensate for summer. You don’t need to earn the right to enjoy the foods that come with fall.

Maybe your goals this season can be things like:

more rest.
more connection.
more consistency with eating.
more time outside.
more things that make you feel like yourself.

You don’t have to make your life smaller to make it better. 🤍

Sometimes being the person who “handles everything” means no one really knows when you’re struggling.

You can be functioning and still be overwhelmed.

You can be getting everything done and still need support.

You can be the one everyone leans on and still need somewhere to put your own feelings.

You don’t have to wait until you’re falling apart to take care of yourself.

Therapy can be a place where you don’t have to hold it all together.

🤎

You don’t have to shrink yourself to fit into therapy.

You don’t have to have the “right” words, know exactly what’s wrong, or show up as the easiest version of yourself.

There’s room for the messy parts.
The complicated parts.
The parts you’ve learned to hide.
The parts you’re still learning to understand.

At Rare Mind and Body, we believe therapy should make room for all of you — not ask you to become someone else in order to heal.

We offer therapy for eating disorders, trauma, body image, depression, anxiety, and the many ways these experiences can shape your relationship with yourself.

Now accepting new clients. 🤍

If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy, this might be your sign to take the first step.

Schedule your first session today.

today is world body dysmorphic disorder awareness day 🤍

body dysmorphia is more than insecurity or not liking how you look. it can become a constant cycle of checking, comparing, hiding, avoiding, and seeking reassurance.

if concerns about your appearance are causing significant distress or taking you away from the life you want to live, it’s worth talking about.

you deserve support for what you’re experiencing—not another reason to change your body.

if this resonates with you, consider bringing it up with someone you trust or a mental health professional. you don’t have to figure it out alone.

intuitive eating isn’t about eating perfectly or always knowing exactly what your body wants.

especially in recovery, sometimes intuition comes later. sometimes structure, consistency, and support come first.

learning to trust your body is a process 🤍

Sometimes we become so familiar with surviving that we start to mistake survival responses for personality.

The hyper-independence. The people-pleasing. The constant productivity. The need to stay in control. The instinct to scan the room before you speak.

And this isn’t about deciding that every part of you is “just trauma.” It’s about getting curious.

What feels automatic? What feels chosen? What happens when your body has a little more space, safety, and permission to be?

Somatic work can be an invitation to slow down enough to notice.

Because sometimes, when your body feels safer, you finally have room to figure out who you are beyond surviving.

🤎

Therapy can be a place to pause, feel, process, and be human.

We have a few spots left for new clients. Reach out today to get started.

we believe everyone deserves access to compassionate, quality mental health care. ready to schedule a session? we’d love to hear from you!

If pumpkin spice season also brings a sudden increase in diet talk, “getting back on track,” and rules about what you should or shouldn’t be eating, consider this your reminder:

You do not have to earn seasonal foods.
You do not need to choose the “healthier” version.
You do not need to compensate for something you enjoyed.
You do not need to justify wanting a PSL.
And you definitely don’t need to turn a drink into a moral decision.

Food is not a test of your discipline, worth, or recovery.

At Rare, we believe recovery means making more room for flexibility, nourishment, connection, and enjoyment, even when diet culture gets louder.

So, it’s time… go get your PSL. 🎃☕️

When we talk about nutrition in eating disorder recovery, the conversation can easily become focused on what we’re eating.

But nutrition is about more than the food itself.

Dr. Anna Flores, DCN, MScN, CNSc, identifies five nutritional priorities in eating disorder recovery: adequacy, balance, variety, flexibility, and enjoyment. Together, these offer a broader way of thinking about nutrition that considers nourishment alongside our relationship with food and our ability to navigate real-life eating experiences.

Importantly, these five areas are not a hierarchy. Each is an important part of nourishment and recovery. The pyramid is a visual representation of the framework, and the size or placement of each section is not intended to communicate that one priority matters more than another.

In eating disorder treatment, we may explore:

• What does adequate and consistent nourishment look like for me?
• Can I experience variety without needing everything to feel “safe” or “perfect”?
• Can I be flexible when plans or circumstances change?
• What food rules, rituals, or beliefs are getting in the way of flexibility?
• Can I experience food without guilt or judgment?
• Can I make room for enjoyment and pleasure alongside nourishment?

Recovery isn’t about finding the “perfect” way to eat or replacing one set of food rules with another.

It’s about building a relationship with food that allows for adequacy, balance, variety, flexibility, and enjoyment, while creating more room for life outside of the eating disorder.

At Rare Mind & Body, we believe eating disorder recovery is most effective when care is comprehensive and collaborative. We coordinate care with eating disorder specialized dietitians when appropriate, allowing nutritional and therapeutic needs to be addressed together as part of a multidisciplinary approach. 🤍

Meet Kaylee!

We’re so happy to have Kaylee Glew, LMSW as part of the Rare Mind and Body team.

Kaylee is an eating disorder specialist passionate about supporting clients navigating their relationship with food and their bodies, trauma and ptsd, intimate partner violence, chronic illness, and the complicated intersections between mental and physical health.

Kaylee has openings available for new clients— contact us to book a session!

healing can feel overwhelming.

especially when you’ve spent so long just trying to get through the day, understand what’s happening inside of you, or hold everything together on your own.

you don’t have to have it all figured out before reaching out for support.

therapy can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what you’ve been carrying.

if you’re ready for support, we’d love to meet you where you are.

booking new clients now. 🤍

sometimes a nervous system that has learned to expect danger keeps looking for it, even when there’s nothing you need to respond to right now.

the urge to analyze, check, replay, prepare, or find certainty can feel so urgent.

but not every alarm is an emergency.

sometimes healing looks like noticing the alarm without immediately obeying it.

letting yourself come back to the present.

right now, i am here.
right now, i am safe.
right now, i don’t have to solve anything.

If any of these feel familiar, you are not alone.

Eating disorder recovery can bring up a lot of fear and uncertainty. You might know your ED is hurting you and still feel afraid to give it up. You might question whether your experience is “bad enough” to deserve help. You might even have moments where recovery feels more frightening than staying where you are.

None of that means you aren’t capable of recovery.

🤎

“Whole self” is part of how we think about therapy at Rare, but what does that actually mean?

To us, tending to the whole self means being curious about the full picture: your body, your history, your relationships, your nervous system, your environment, your strengths, and the ways you’ve learned to cope.

It means we don’t want to treat an eating disorder without considering the person experiencing it. We don’t want to talk about trauma without considering what came before, what came after, and how it continues to shape the present.

And it means we don’t assume there’s one right way to heal.

Sometimes you need skills. Sometimes you need depth. Sometimes you need your body to feel safer before you can process something cognitively. Sometimes you need a little bit of everything.

Most importantly, we meet you where you are, not where we think you should be.

Because you are more than a diagnosis, a symptom, or a behavior.

You are a whole person.

That’s what we mean when we say we tend to the whole self. 🤍

Meet Kaylee 🤍

We’re excited to welcome Kaylee to Rare Mind and Body!

Kaylee works with adults navigating trauma, grief and loss, disordered eating, LGBTQIA+ experiences, intimate partner violence, chronic pain, and struggles with self-image and self-worth.

Her style is warm, genuine, and grounded in empathy and connection. Kaylee believes therapy isn’t about “fixing” who you are, but creating space to better understand yourself, heal from past experiences, and recognize the strengths and resilience you already carry. She strives to walk alongside her clients with curiosity and compassion as they navigate challenges and move toward the life they want to build.

Outside the therapy room, you’ll likely find her reading, hiking, creating, spending time with her partner, or enjoying life with her pets.

Kaylee is currently accepting new clients.

somewhere along the way,
you got really good at being okay.

good enough that no one really asks anymore.

good enough that sometimes,
you don’t ask yourself either.

until one day you realize
you’re exhausted from holding a life together
that you never stopped to ask if you actually wanted to live this way.

🤍

Your anxiety didn’t come out of nowhere.

It developed for a reason.

Sometimes what feels like an overreaction is actually a nervous system responding to what it learned to protect you from.

Curiosity creates space for change. 🤍

You’ve spent enough time trying to hold everything together.

Therapy isn’t about becoming a different person or “fixing” what’s wrong with you. It’s about creating space to understand your story, your patterns, and the parts of yourself that have been carrying too much for too long.

Ready when you are. 🤍

currently accepting: little treats, nervous system regulation, and new clients 🤍 see u soon @ Rare!

Trauma doesn’t always leave behind memories that are easy to identify. Sometimes it leaves behind patterns.

Hypervigilance. Perfectionism. People-pleasing. Emotional distance. The need for control.

These responses often began as adaptations to environments that felt unsafe, unpredictable, or overwhelming.

Rather than asking, “What’s wrong with me?” consider asking, “What was this part trying to protect?”

That question can change everything.

We’re so grateful to have Kyra as part of the Rare Mind and Body team. 🤍

From the very beginning, our hope has been to build a practice of clinicians who lead with compassion, curiosity, and genuine care for the humans sitting across from them. Therapists who understand the impact of trauma, honor each person’s lived experience, and provide care through a weight-inclusive, Health at Every Size®-informed lens.

Kyra embodies those values so naturally. Her warmth, thoughtfulness, and ability to help clients feel safe and understood make her such a meaningful part of our practice, and we’re incredibly lucky to have her.

If you’ve been looking for a therapist who will meet you with empathy—not judgment—we’d love to introduce you to Kyra. ✨

Imagine someone who loves you describing the ways you’ve changed over the last year.

What would they notice?

Sometimes the people closest to us see our growth long before we do.

What’s one small way you’ve noticed yourself becoming more you lately? 🤍

Recently, Rare Mind and Body was featured by Voyage Michigan and I had the opportunity to reflect on the story behind building this practice 🤍

When I started Rare, my hope wasn’t simply to create another therapy practice. I wanted to create a space where people feel seen beyond symptoms and supported in understanding the experiences that shaped their relationship with food, body, and self.

Building something that reflects those values has been equal parts meaningful, challenging, and deeply rewarding.

Grateful for every client, referral partner, therapist, and person who has trusted Rare along the way.

If you’d like to read more about the story behind Rare, the full interview is linked in bio ☁️

Our relationship with food and our body doesn’t develop in isolation.

Life experiences, trauma, family dynamics, comments from others, chronic dieting, major life transitions, stress, and the environments we move through can all shape how we learn to relate to eating, movement, and ourselves.

Sometimes that shows up as restriction, binge eating, food guilt, body shame, fear of certain foods, compulsive exercise, or feeling disconnected from your body altogether.

You do not need a formal diagnosis to deserve support.

At Rare, we offer eating disorder and disordered eating therapy for teens and adults with care that looks beyond symptoms and makes space for the whole story.

Now accepting new clients across Michigan 🤍
