Sara Earl

It started as just wanting to control the way you look and what you eat. But things have spiraled, and you’re wondering if you are still in control. Is this you? You:

• Think about food all. the. time. (What you’ll eat, already ate or shouldn’t have eaten.)
• Wish you had a different body.
• Can’t not exercise; or are wracked with guilt for not exercising.
• Avoid hanging out with others when food is in the mix.
• Have trouble focusing and getting things done.

You probably feel very much alone in this, with nowhere to turn. Perhaps a friend or loved one has expressed their concern but they don’t really know how to help. They may even be saying it in a way that makes you feel worse.

So you've tried to snap out of it on your own by meal planning or looking for advice online. Or you’ve pushed through, ignoring that you just don’t feel well. You’re stuck in the same cycle of dieting, guilt, and starting over, again and again and again....

My name is Sara Earl, LPC, NCC, BC-DMT and I can help you step out of this relentless loop. Healing your relationship with food, your body and others IS possible, and you don’t have to navigate that process alone.

​​I help teens, adults and families recover from disordered eating, body image distress and the relational conflicts that come along with it. My approach is integrative and holistic—a blend of mind-, body-, and relational-focused techniques—allowing us to creatively pivot between talking, sensing and moving, to actively work on getting somewhere. This can be powerful for anyone who has been frustrated with traditional talk therapy.

Are you the parent, partner, friend or ally of someone with an eating disorder? You also need to be able to talk about your worry and frustration with someone who gets it. I am experienced working with families and supports whose loved ones were in acute eating disorder care. Taking care of yourself will help you be clear and present for those you care about.

For the first few sessions, we will get to know each other, exploring relevant history. Sessions always begin with a moment to shift gears and a brief check-in. You will drive sessions, sharing what you want to work on or we will circle back to treatment plan goals and/or where we left off before. Sessions conclude with setting intentions for the week ahead or additional resources for homework or inspiration to support you in staying accountable to your recovery goals. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation so we can introduce ourselves and explore fit.
