Disordered Eating and Body Image in Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Maybe you’re stuck in cycles of restricting, bingeing, purging, or “starting over Monday.” Maybe you avoid mirrors—or can’t stop checking. Exercise feels compulsory. Social plans revolve around rules. You deserve care that is skilled, respectful, and not about shaming your body.
At Transcendent Self Therapy, we offer structured, compassionate treatment for disordered eating and body image concerns—centered on your values, not diets.
