Lora Sasiela, CSW

My treatment philosophy involves creating a safe, compassionate, and supportive environment in which to begin the process of healing. The work focuses on one's relationship with food and body. I use cognitive-behavioral techniques (i.e., food-mood diaries; bibliotherapy; relaxation techniques; journaling; identifying hunger and satiation; etc.) to address and reduce eating disorder symptoms. Simultaneously we will explore the underlying issues (i.e., psychological; cultural; familial; interpersonal; etc.) which initially led to the creation of, and currently maintain the symptoms. Through this two-pronged approach symptom reduction occurs and healthier coping skills are developed. An increase in self-awareness and understanding leads to self-acceptance, self-love, and self-care. Referrals to and collaboration with physicians, psychiatrists, and/or nutritionists are available.
