Sara Porter

I dedicate my practice to supporting individuals across the lifespan as they navigate the complexities of eating disorders, including Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder, and OSFED. I understand that these struggles rarely exist in a vacuum, which is why I take a holistic view of your mental health, carefully addressing how trauma or other psychiatric disorders may be intertwined with your relationship with food. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are, offering a partnership built on genuine compassion and unwavering encouragement. I am committed to fostering an inclusive environment rooted in Health At Every Size (HAES) and Intuitive Eating principles, ensuring that every person I work with feels seen, respected, and safe.

My approach is focused on guiding you toward a peaceful, sustainable relationship with your body and food. I pull from a diverse toolkit of evidence-based modalities to ensure our work is as unique as your journey. This includes specialized training in Family Based Therapy (FBT) for Anorexia and CBT-AR for those navigating Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder. Throughout our sessions, I also integrate elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you explore the deeper roots of your experiences. I view therapy as a collaborative evolution, and I always welcome your feedback to ensure our sessions are aligning with your personal needs and values.

In our first session together, you can expect a soft place to land. My priority is to begin building a foundation of trust where you feel comfortable sharing your story at your own pace. We will spend time discussing your history and your specific goals for treatment, but more importantly, we will begin to outline a roadmap for change that feels manageable and supportive. You won’t just be a patient in my office; you will be an active partner in your recovery. My hope is that you leave our first meeting feeling heard, understood, and a little more hopeful about the path toward healing that lies ahead.
