Therapy
We provide individual therapy through an integrative, trauma-informed approach that considers both emotional and physiological experiences. Our work is collaborative, relational, and tailored to your unique needs and goals.
Our therapists support clients navigating:
-
Eating disorders and disordered eating, including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, and chronic dieting
-
Body image concerns and complicated relationships with food and exercise
-
Trauma and nervous system dysregulation
-
Anxiety, depression, and perfectionism
-
Self-worth, identity exploration, and life transitions
Whether you’re feeling disconnected from yourself, overwhelmed by patterns around food and body image, or processing painful experiences from the past, therapy at Rare offers a space for deeper understanding, healing, and reconnection.
Eating Disorder Support
We support adolescents and adults navigating anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, chronic dieting, body image concerns, and complicated relationships with food and exercise.
Treatment focuses on reducing shame, increasing emotional awareness, supporting nervous system regulation, and rebuilding trust with the body.
We collaborate with dietitians, physicians, and other providers when needed to support full-circle care.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN THERAPY
We know starting therapy can feel like a big step.
In early sessions, we focus on getting to know you, understanding your patterns, and making sense of what’s been feeling hard.
Therapy moves at your pace—there’s no pressure to rush or have it all figured out.
This is a space where things can unfold slowly, safely, and with support.
How We Work
Drawing from psychodynamic, relational, and parts-work approaches, therapy explores how past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns may shape present emotions, behaviors, and ways of relating to yourself and others. This work supports deeper self-understanding, emotional insight, and meaningful long-term change.
Insight-Oriented & Relational Therapy
CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, behaviors, and coping strategies that contribute to emotional distress. This approach can support greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and practical tools for navigating daily life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Trauma is not only held in thoughts and memories—it can also live within the body and nervous system. Through body-based approaches, somatic techniques, and EMDR Therapy, we support clients in processing overwhelming experiences, increasing nervous system regulation, and reconnecting with a greater sense of grounding, safety, and self-trust.
Somatic & Trauma Therapy
Workshops & Groups
Connect, learn, and grow in a supportive community. Our workshops and group sessions focus on trauma healing, eating disorder recovery, nervous system regulation, and mind-body wellness. Through guided exercises, reflective practices, and peer connection, you’ll gain practical tools and a deeper sense of understanding—helping you feel more grounded, empowered, and seen.
