Emily Hinman Benedict Counseling

(Caseload is currently full but email for wait list info!) — I work with ALL people (size, gender, sex, race, ability) who are struggling with food, weight, and body and are ready to do the deeper work of healing —this includes eating disorders, but also those who feel like a stranger within their own body, mind, and spirit. This may be due to chronic dieting and disordered eating, identity work, relational issues, trauma, spiritual abuse or loss of faith. Those who are hungering to be more attuned to their emotions, values, sense of worthiness and are ready to engage the harder questions. My approach is collaborative and relational, present to the here and now. I draw from skills such as mindfulness, body awareness and existential work. I am an anti-diet therapist and support the HAES model (Health at Every Size). I also love working with those going through spiritual transition and deconstruction. I see age 18+ through mature adulthood. Each person has a story they can flourish in, no one has to merely tolerate life. My joy is to enter into and unearth that story with you. This is where renewal and transformation begins. Just as all people have the vulnerability of being deeply wounded, I believe they all have the resilience and creativity to truly heal.
