What does Consulting for an eating disorder look like?

If you have made it here, you likely have a loved one, friend, coworker, etc. struggling with an eating disorder. Having been in this field for over 15 years, I know firsthand the demands and the toll that it takes on needing to support someone who is struggling. It is an all-consuming, all-encompassing experience.

As an expert in this field, I am here to help support you on this journey. I will help set expectations, help you with an outpatient team and make the best recommendations for higher levels of care. We always want the first time a loved one goes to treatment to be the last, but unfortunately, it often takes a few tries. I am here, to help tease out the best fits, what has worked in the past, what hasn’t, and how you as the support can also feel cared for in this very exhausting scary time.

“Navigating an eating disorder with a loved one is emotionally overwhelming. The challenge is exacerbated by just how difficult it is to find helpful information. Few professionals of any stripe have expertise amidst this growing epidemic. Jill Lewis is one of the rare outstanding therapists who can also guide you and your loved one on this sometimes harrowing path.”
