Therapy in Washington StatE

Reclaiming your relationship with food and your body.

You feel disconnected from yourself, your body, and the world around you.

Maybe thoughts of food are consuming. Or intrusive memories from the past are overwhelming. Or your anxious thoughts just won’t stop.

Sound familiar?

You want to feel connected but aren’t sure how to.

Our bodies hold deep wisdom, but for many, as the result of trauma, relationship wounds, and eating disorders, that connection gets interrupted.

  • You feel numb, foggy, and frozen. Or maybe your emotions feel scary, overwhelming, and too much to handle.

  • You have difficulty knowing your wants and needs.

  • Stuck in a cycle of eating nothing or eating everything, or even purging after eating. Or maybe you eat very little at all, or feel completely out of control around food.

  • You’re always anxious, worrying about the small things and wishing you could just let it go.

I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Abby Behar, RN, LICSW. I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, trauma recovery, and anxiety. I believe all bodies are good and wise, and we have an innate capacity to heal when we can reclaim our authentic selves. Together, we will help you connect back to yourself and your body, and move towards the life you imagine. You already have what you need to heal; I am here to help unroot that inner knowing.

Eating Disorders

Constant guilt, shame, and obsessive thoughts about food and your body have a way of interfering with EVERYTHING that really matters in your life. The good news is recovery is possible. I specialize in supporting those struggling with Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder, OSFED, disordered eating, and compulsive exercise, as well as body image concerns. 

Trauma Therapy

It can feel exhausting and isolating to carry the weight of the past with you. It can leave you feeling disconnected in relationships, your body, and your authentic self. Together, we can help you heal from past experiences and reconnect with yourself.

Anxiety and Perfectionism

 Perhaps worry, fear, constant “what-ifs” and worst case scenarios are running through your mind.  Or maybe you feel knots in your stomach, racing heart, shallow breathing. No matter how your anxiety affects you, I can help provide the tools to let go of the worry and “what- ifs” and regain presence in your life. 

HOW I WORK

I believe therapy should be collaborative.

Schedule a free, no-obligation consultation to decide if I’m a good fit for you. If we are, great! We’ll schedule your first appointment and begin mapping out a path to your goals.

If not, no problem. I’ll refer to you to another talented therapist in my network who can help.
