Have you have been struggling with your eating, weight and body image your whole life! You look at life-style magazines and the women never look like you and you wonder: “What is wrong with me?” You look in the mirror and you are never happy with what you see. You have tried diets, exercise, purging, starving and other means to control your eating and your weight and feel good with little or no success.

Whether or not your physical health has been significantly compromised, or you have been in in-patient or out-patient treatment programs for eating disorders. I offer both individual counseling as well as support groups to address the problem.

First we will look at the following addiction components:

1. compulsion;

2. obsession;

3. progressive loss of control;

4. repeated use in spite of adverse reactions.

Then, through mindful somatic strategies, cognitive-behavioral skills and a psychoeducation we can develop a sound and lasting plan of eating that can provide healthy nutrients to your body and physical, emotional and mental health stability to your life. We can also add a spiritual component if you “soul” desire.

This is an online group is comprised of up to 8 women of ages 24 and up who want to heal from an eating addiction and move forward with their lives. It provides a safe container where you can get support, education, connection, guidance and empowerment through the challenges and opportunities of healing from an addiction. The group is very strength based and offers insight into how the pain and in suffering can be transformed into opportunities for growth and wisdom that can benefit all areas of your lives. The group will also offer a number of simple and practical skills and tools to practice loving self-care. Homework will be given as a means to explore the problem, gain insight and implement new beliefs and behaviors that will transform your life forever.

On-line group:

When: Wednesdays at 7pm (PST)

Cost: $60.00 for a 90-minute group session.

How do I get started?

I schedule an individual 30-minute intake appointment to discuss whether the group would be a good fit for you. It gives you an opportunity to ask more questions and it gives me an opportunity to learn more about you and your needs and tell you more about the group and make recommendations or give referrals to other services available to you.

If you decide you'd like to join the group, it requires a 4-week commitment so that you have a chance to meet and get to know the other group members on a deeper level and fully benefit from the experience. If you find it to be the right fit, you will be able to renew for 4 sessions at a time for as long as you'd like. Most people really value the group experience and stay for much longer

If you are ready to speak with me and learn more about the group, call or email me to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation: (858) 842-0234 or miriam@miriamchorfreitas.com
