Eating Disorder Therapy in Massachusetts
You might feel stuck in patterns around food, exercise, or body image, and you’re exhausted by how much space it takes up.
Whether things feel clearly like an eating disorder or harder to define, therapy can help you step out of the cycle and feel more at ease in your life.
You don’t need to be “sick enough” to need support.
Maybe things look mostly fine from the outside. You’re functioning, keeping up with responsibilities, and not sure your experience would “count” as an eating disorder. You might relate more to anxiety or stress about food than to an “eating disorder” label.
But internally, it might feel different. It can be confusing when it doesn’t seem extreme enough to justify help—but still feels hard to ignore.
You don’t have to wait for it to get worse to take it seriously.
You might be noticing:
Constant worry or preoccupation with how much you ate
You’ve lost enjoyment of food
You can’t trust your cravings, hunger or fullness cues
You’re feeling trapped by diet culture
Exercise routines controls your life
Body criticisms are relentless
Even if things don’t look extreme from the outside, it can still feel overwhelming on the inside.
How we can help:
At Sandstone Counseling, we work with adolescents and adults navigating disordered eating, body image concerns, and the pressure to hold everything together. We offer individual, outpatient therapy virtually for clients across Massachusetts and in-person at our office in Brookline, MA. We work with a range of eating concerns—from when something just feels “off” to patterns that have become more entrenched over time. Our practice is a good fit for outpatient, ongoing therapy. If you’re needing more intensive support, we’re happy to help connect you with additional resources.
Our approach is non-judgmental and tailored to you. We focus on helping you understand what’s underneath these patterns—not just changing behaviors, but shifting your relationship with food, your body, and yourself.

Many people wonder whether their eating concerns are “serious enough” to justify therapy, especially if they think they don’t “look” like they have an eating disorder or able to keep things mostly under control.
Disordered eating doesn’t have any type of look, need to meet a specific diagnosis ,or reach a crisis point to be worth support.
Therapy can be helpful if food, exercise, or body thoughts take up more mental space than you want, interfere with your relationship with yourself or others, or feel hard to change on your own.
You don’t need to be certain that therapy is the right step before reaching out. A brief phone consult can help you think through whether support at this point would be useful.
