An Eating Disorder Recovery Coach is not a replacement for a therapist, dietician, or medical or mental health professional, and thus, I cannot provide medical, nutritional, psychological, or other services designated for practice by a medical or mental health professional. My role functions as an adjunct to your treatment team, and my services complement and support those of your primary care providers as I am dealing with unique issues and circumstances that other team members cannot perform due to time constraints, legal parameters, or lack of specific training. As a Recovered Eating Disorder Coach, I help individuals reach their treatment goals in real-life situations, providing support, and appropriate challenges, and serving as both a role model and a guide. I am trained on how to work with the eating disorder population, in both an individual and group setting, to help facilitate growth and behavior change related to recovery.
