Hello

Listen, BMI is bullshit. The negativity of diet culture knows no bounds. Most of us have spent a lifetime absorbing myths that have distorted our views of food, movement and our bodies. And, these internalized myths masquerade as “truth” that distort our relationships (with self and others), religious experiences and emotions. If you are looking to make peace with your body, food, and relationships Alison Andrews, MA, LMFT, EMDR offers one-on-one sessions, couple intensive sessions, EMDR intensive sessions, group therapy and two-day workshops to help you get started on your journey toward healing and wholeness. 

 

Alison is trained in Intuitive Eating, EMDR, and Family Systems (including IFS) and has 15+ years of experience helping clients with their relationship with food and body, religious trauma and couple relationships. She is passionate about dispelling the seemingly unending myths of diet culture that show up everywhere (religion, relationships) and erode our gut-level knowing.
