Eating Disorder Therapy
with Nikki Rollo, PhD, LMFT
For 20 years, I’ve helped people heal their relationship with food, body, and self.
You feel caught in constant comparison, stuck in guilt after eating, or frustrated by thoughts that won’t stop looping. Maybe you’ve tried to “just eat normally,” but the shame and self-criticism keep coming back.
If you’re exhausted by the rules, the restriction, or the constant pressure to look a certain way, therapy helps you find peace again.
Clients Come to Me When They
Use food to cope with emotions
Feel unsatisfied no matter what they eat
Are tired of dieting and “failing”
Criticize their body
Compare themselves to others
Dread social meals or photos
When food and body thoughts take over, therapy helps you build a new relationship with yourself.
What Therapy With Me Looks Like
-
Reduces self-criticism and builds kindness toward your body and emotions.
-
Helps uncover the inner stories and unconscious psychological material that drives body image struggles and perfectionism. This is rooted in the Jungian tradition.
-
Teaches emotional regulation and mindfulness when urges or critical thoughts arise.
-
Explores societal, cultural, relational, and family influences on your body image and eating patterns.
-
Use mindfulness and subtle body awareness to reconnect to hunger, fullness, and safety in your body.
-
A whole person approach to healing that integrates your own personal belief system into the therapy as a supportive tool for recovery.
-
Encourages respect for body diversity and focuses on health, not numbers or restriction.
We’ll explore the deeper layers of your relationship with food and body, reduce shame, and rebuild self-compassion. Together, we’ll reconnect you with your body’s signals and help you find peace in your mind and meals.
“Awakening your soul-body is an inner adventure of moving light into the shadowy places”.
Healing isn’t about perfect meals or perfect thoughts.
It’s about building a new relationship with yourself.
My approach to Eating Disorder Therapy so you stop battling your body and start living fully again.
After Therapy, You’ll Have
Less shame and self-criticism
Comfort with your body
Joy in shared meals
Freedom from obsessive food thoughts
Less time comparing and feeling anxious
More energy and presence in your life

I’ve worked in eating disorder treatment and recovery for two decades and understand how deep this struggle runs. Healing takes time, compassion, and a therapist who truly sees the true you beneath the symptoms and behaviors.
Together, we’ll move beyond the cycles of shame and anxiety to help you build a peaceful, embodied relationship with yourself. When I’m not working, you’ll find me with my three kids or baking delicious foods that celebrate nourishment and joy.
