Disordered Eating Therapy in Oregon
You deserve support for your relationship with food and your body.
Maybe you’re constantly thinking about food.
Maybe you feel guilt after eating, avoid eating in front of others, or find yourself stuck in cycles of restriction and overeating. Maybe exercise feels more like something you “have to do” than something you enjoy. Maybe your body image shifts from day to day—or even hour to hour.
Maybe you’re not sure if what you’re experiencing is “bad enough” to count.
It counts.
At Wilder Wellness, we offer compassionate, weight-inclusive disordered eating therapy for adults throughout Oregon. You don’t need a formal diagnosis, a certain body size, or the “right” words to reach out.
You just need to know that your relationship with food, exercise, or your body is causing distress—and that you want something to change.
What is disordered eating?
Disordered eating describes patterns of thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs around food, eating, exercise, and body image that negatively impact your life.
Disordered eating can include:
Rigid food rules or avoiding certain foods
Feeling guilt, shame, or anxiety around eating
Restricting food or compensating for eating
Feeling out of control around food
Exercising because you feel you have to
Frequent body checking, comparison, or criticism
Spending significant time thinking about food, exercise, or your body
You may relate to some of these experiences, all of them, or none of them exactly. Disordered eating does not look the same for everyone.
We’re here to meet you where you are at
You don't have to "look sick" to need help.
You cannot tell how much someone is struggling by looking at them.
Disordered eating and eating disorders affect people of all body sizes, genders, ages, and backgrounds. Your body does not determine whether you deserve support.
You do not have to wait until things get worse.
If food, exercise, or body image is taking up more mental and emotional space than you want it to, therapy may be worth exploring.
You don't need to know exactly what to call it.
Many people wonder:
"I don't think it's bad enough."
"I don't have a diagnosis."
"I don't look like I have an eating disorder."
"I'm not even sure this is a problem."
You do not need to diagnose yourself before reaching out.
If food, exercise, or body image is taking up more space in your life than you want it to, that is enough reason to start a conversation.
How therapy can help
At Wilder Wellness, therapy is not about giving you another list of rules or telling you that you are doing everything wrong.
Together, we may explore:
The rules and beliefs you have developed around food
The emotions and experiences connected to your eating and body image
Perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking
Body image distress and body checking
Rebuilding flexibility and trust around food
Developing new ways to cope with difficult emotions
Disordered eating therapy in Oregon
Wilder Wellness provides virtual disordered eating therapy for adults throughout Oregon.
Our therapists work with concerns related to food, body image, exercise, perfectionism, anxiety, trauma, and neurodivergence.
You don't have to figure out whether you are "sick enough" before reaching out.
You can simply start with:
“I'm struggling with my relationship with food and my body, and I don't know what to do next.”
That's a good enough place to begin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an eating disorder diagnosis to see a therapist?No. You do not need a formal eating disorder diagnosis to seek therapy for disordered eating. Many people experience significant distress related to food, exercise, or body image without meeting the criteria for a specific eating disorder.
Can I have disordered eating at any body size?Yes. Disordered eating and eating disorders affect people across the weight spectrum. Body size does not determine whether someone is struggling or how serious their symptoms may be.
How do I know if I need help?If thoughts about food, eating, exercise, or your body are causing distress, taking up significant mental energy, or interfering with your daily life, it may be worth seeking support.
We believe in body autonomy and your right to make choices about your own body. Our role is not to prescribe weight loss or weight gain, but to support you in creating a more trusting and sustainable relationship with your body.
We are not anti–weight loss, and we are not here to judge your goals. We are anti hating yourself into change. Our focus is on helping you move toward care, respect, and sustainability in how you relate to your body, food, and movement.
If weight change is part of your story, we will hold that with curiosity and compassion while still centering your overall wellbeing.
Do you provide weight-loss counseling?
Life has many stressors. Food doesn't have to be one of them.
Between work, relationships, and everything else life asks of you, there's already enough to carry. Food and your body don't have to be one more thing you're fighting.
We know that reaching out is rarely the easy part. Taking the first step toward recovery can feel scary—admitting something is hard, wondering if you'll be understood, not knowing what comes next. That hesitation makes complete sense, and you don't have to have it all figured out before you talk to us.
We're here to help guide you through it, one step at a time. Schedule a free consultation, and let's start there.
