      <image:title>Conason Psychological Services - Individual Therapy</image:title>
      <image:caption>In individual psychotherapy sessions, you will work one-on-one with your therapist to become more aware of patterns in your life. With this knowledge and the guidance of your therapist, you can learn how to enact changes to lessen your suffering and increase your enjoyment of day to day living. You and your therapist will work together to create a treatment plan to help you accomplish your goals. Individual psychotherapy is the foundation of treatment. It is the place where treatment is tailored to meet your unique needs. Whether you are struggling with eating issues, body image concerns, relationship difficulties, career struggles, or any other problems — individual sessions are the first step to creating change. Each therapist at Conason Psychological Services has unique areas of specialization. Please read each therapist’s profile to see who seems like the best fit for you, or contact us to set up a complimentary 15-minute consultation call where we can recommend a therapist who will best meet your needs. 45 mins |  $225-$350 (fee varies based on therapist)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Conason Psychological Services - Couples therapy</image:title>
      <image:caption>Couples therapy helps couples at any stage improve their relationship, whether you are looking for a “tune-up” in a generally happy relationship, or you are considering separation from your partner. You and your partner will meet with a therapist to explore what works and what doesn’t work in your relationship. During the initial consultation, we will create goals for treatment and tailor a plan to meet your needs as a couple. 50 mins |  $225-$375</image:caption>

      <image:title>Conason Psychological Services - Group therapy</image:title>
      <image:caption>In group psychotherapy, you will meet with other people struggling with similar issues and learn new ways to cope with your challenges. Please join the newsletter list to stay notified of upcoming groups. We are currently accepting new clients for the following groups: • Body Image Group—Do you struggle with body image? Have you embraced anti-diet approaches like mindful eating or intuitive eating but continue to not feel great in your body? Do you agree with body positivity, but it feels hard to apply it for yourself? In this ongoing virtual group, we’ll focus on improving body image through an acceptance-based weight-inclusive lens.  Participants should have some prior experience with a fat-positive, weight-inclusive, Health At Every Size informed framework. • What's Next? Transitioning From PHP/IOP Eating Disorder Treatment Group—Transitioning out of a higher level of eating disorder treatment can be daunting. Not only is change challenging to begin with, but a decrease in the routine, structure, support, and containment that treatment programs offer can be confusing and isolating. Understandably, questions like “what’s next?” or “who am I beyond my eating disorder?” often arise. Just as unlearning disordered thoughts and behaviors takes intentionality and exploration, rediscovering oneself can be a similarly meaningful process of relearning. This on-going in-person group for people transitioning out of PHP and IOP treatment settings will help participants explore and build one’s authentic values and identity and reclaim joy in a supportive recovery-focused community environment. •Eating Disorder Recovery Group—Are you looking for conversations and connections as part of eating disorder recovery? Recovery does not stop when eating disorder behaviors do; there is much to explore and navigate. This group therapy space aims to bring together people who want to discuss self image, personal growth, tools for recovery, life transitions, and more. A licensed therapist will facilitate this group and foster an environment that is weight-inclusive, fat-positive, anti-diet, anti-oppressive, LGBTIA+ affirming, and disability affirming. • BIPOC Eating Disorder Recovery Group—Are you a Black, Indigenous, or Person Of Color (BIPOC) individual in eating disorder recovery looking for a community in a therapeutic space led by two BIPOC therapists? Fatema Jivanjee-Shakir, LMSW and Sheba Antony, LMHC are excited to offer a new virtual group therapy space for BIPOC individuals in ED recovery led through an anti-diet, fat positive, trauma-informed, and gender inclusive lens. The group is currently open to NY residents looking to heal their relationship with food and body image.  60 mins |  $100-$125 (price varies depending on group)</image:caption>

      <image:title>NYC Eating Disorder Therapist - How we can support you</image:title>
      <image:caption>Therapy is a collaborative process grounded in trust, transparency, and care. You are the expert on your own experience — and sometimes it helps to have skilled support to make sense of what’s happening and find a way forward. We offer several ways to work together, depending on your needs and where you are right now: Individual therapy focused on eating disorders, body image, relationships, and other emotional concerns Group therapy for eating disorder recovery and body image concerns, offering shared support and connection Couples therapy for relationship and intimacy concerns, including when food, body image, or emotional patterns are impacting connection Virtual and in-person options to support access, continuity, and flexibility You don’t need to know exactly what kind of therapy you’re looking for to get started. We’re happy to help you think through what might be most supportive.</image:caption>

      <image:title>NYC Eating Disorder Therapist - Who we work with</image:title>
      <image:caption>We specialize in working with people whose relationship with food and their bodies has become a source of distress, disconnection, or overwhelm. Eating disorders and disordered eating are the core focus of our practice. This includes support for people navigating: Eating disorders and disordered eating, including binge eating disorder, bulimia, anorexia, ARFID, orthorexia, and patterns that may not fit neatly into a diagnosis. Body image concerns and experiences shaped by weight stigma and diet culture Support around eating and body concerns that can arise in the context of GLP-1 medications or bariatric surgery Because eating and body struggles rarely exist in isolation, we also work with the emotional and relational concerns that often intersect with them, such as: Anxiety, depression, and mood concerns Relationship and intimacy challenges Life transitions (emerging adulthood, parenthood, career changes, retirement) Identity, self-esteem, and sexual concerns You don’t need to fit neatly into a category to reach out. Most people don’t; we’ll take the time to understand what’s going on for you. Schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation to see if working together feels like a good fit.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Binge Eating Disorder Therapy - Wondering if binge eating might be part of what you’re experiencing?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Many people worry about whether what they’re experiencing “counts” as binge eating disorder. While clinicians use specific criteria to make diagnoses, real-life experiences don’t always fit neatly into checklists. Binge eating often involves patterns such as: Eating in a way that feels rushed, disconnected, or hard to stop Eating past the point of physical comfort Eating when you’re not physically hungry Feeling distressed, ashamed, or guilty about your eating Feeling out of control around food, even if it doesn’t happen all the time For some people, binge eating happens frequently and intensely. For others, it’s more situational or cyclical. Both experiences can be painful — and both deserve support. You don’t need to meet every diagnostic criterion to benefit from therapy. In fact, many people who struggle with binge eating or disordered eating don’t meet full criteria for binge eating disorder but still experience significant distress. If food feels overwhelming, preoccupying, or emotionally loaded — or if you’re questioning your relationship with eating — that’s reason enough to reach out. Therapy can help you understand what’s going on and find a more sustainable way forward.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Binge Eating Disorder Therapy - How can therapy for binge eating disorder help?</image:title>
      <image:caption>At Conason Psychological Services, we understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to binge eating. Our therapists are trained in a range of evidence-based treatments and work collaboratively with you to tailor therapy to what will be most helpful for your unique needs. Our approach may draw from cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness and mindful eating, psychodynamic therapy, and other modalities. Treatment is always grounded in compassion and curiosity rather than judgment. All of our therapists are trauma-informed and practice from a weight-inclusive perspective. We recognize that binge eating does not exist in isolation and often intersects with stress, emotions, identity, relationships, and past experiences. Together, we work to understand the why behind eating patterns while also supporting meaningful, sustainable changes in behaviors. Therapy for binge eating disorder can support you in:  • Developing a more peaceful, flexible relationship with food and your body • Reducing the intensity and frequency of binge eating over time • Understanding emotional, relational, or situational factors that influence eating • Building skills to cope with stress, emotions, and diet-culture pressure in more supportive ways • Developing resilience to cope with “diet-culture” • Improving body image and learning to care for yourself even on hard body image days</image:caption>

      <image:title>Therapy for Bariatric Surgery - Who we work with</image:title>
      <image:caption>At Conason Psychological Services, we have therapists trained in working with clients before and after bariatric surgery. We work with a variety of psychological issues related to bariatric surgery including:  • Eating disorders and disordered eating  • Body image dissatisfaction  • Quality of life issues due to post-surgical medical complications  • Relationship issues  • Mood disorders such as depression and anxiety  • Difficulty coping with changes in your body shape or size  • Support after surgery  • Issues not related to bariatric surgery but you want a therapist knowledgeable about bariatric surgery  You deserve a space in which you can discuss bariatric surgery in a weight-inclusive environment. You deserve to explore what you are feeling without someone trying to sell you a procedure or blame you for your struggles.There is therapy for bariatric surgery patients available at our practice in Manhattan.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Therapy for Bariatric Surgery - how we help</image:title>
      <image:caption>Conason Psychological Services is equipped to work with clients in any and every stage of bariatric surgery.  Prior to bariatric surgery, you may be seeking help to address eating disorders and/or disordered eating. You may want to learn about mindful eating and other tools before committing to surgery; perhaps as an alternative to the surgery itself. Our therapists are able to provide information and support as you consider undergoing surgery; we want our clients to be able to make informed and confident decisions either way. We are not here to tell you what to do, but rather to help you come to the best conclusion for yourself.  If you have had bariatric surgery, you may be struggling with body image dissatisfaction. You may have either continued issues with disordered eating or eating disorders that were present before surgery, or a new onset of these issues that emerged after surgery. You may be disappointed to discover that issues you thought would be solved by having bariatric surgery continue to persist. You may be struggling to adjust to life after surgery or having relationship issues. You may also be dealing with the same issues that many of our clients deal with, such as depression, anxiety, and life issues outside of bariatric surgery, but want a therapist who understands the surgery.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Therapy for Mindful Eating - what is mindful eating?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Mindful eating is a way to reconnect with the internal guidance hardwired into all of us. It separates nourishing ourselves from trying to change or control the size and/or shapes of our bodies. Mindful eating isn’t a new concept, but rather a return to what we knew when we were babies and toddlers, before “food rules” came in and separated us from our ability to eat to satisfaction. Despite what you may have heard recently, mindful eating is not a diet tool. Mindful eating is an inherently weight inclusive and anti-diet practice, rooted in accepting our bodies as they currently are and working to nourish ourselves according to our internal signals of hunger, fullness, cravings, taste preferences, and how different foods make our bodies feel. Diet culture teaches us that we have to control our food, or else we will eat “too much” or “the wrong kinds” of food; in actuality, it is the restriction of what we want to eat and how much that leads to choosing types or quantities of food that make us feel unwell. Mindfulness, a fundamental element of mindful eating, can also have widespread benefits in many aspects of life including improving mood, mitigating stress, and improving overall wellness and happiness. With mindful eating, many people experience improvements not just in their relationship with food and their body, but in other aspects of their lives as well.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Therapy for Mindful Eating - We’re here to help you</image:title>
      <image:caption>Conason Psychological Services offers mindful eating therapy for binge eating disorder, disordered eating, chronic dieting, yo-yo dieting, and other eating concerns. We are trauma-informed, weight-inclusive therapists who value body diversity! If you are dealing with disordered eating, binge eating disorder, or yo-yo dieting, you may have been relying on external rules to determine when, what, and how much to eat. Because of this, you may have also experienced periods of time in which you ate beyond comfortable fullness, and determined that you “can’t trust yourself” to stop eating unless you’re on a diet. Mindful Eating actually subverts the binge that follows restriction by eliminating restriction.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Eating Disorder Recovery - Why is it important to have a weight inclusive therapist for eating disorder recovery?</image:title>
      <image:caption>As you will know from being out and about in the world, we are surrounded by triggering statements all the time. The vast majority of people are participating in diet culture without really unpacking it; they don’t mean any harm. But those statements can be very difficult for those in recovery to hear. Trained therapists who are weight-inclusive are able to use sensitive verbiage, whether the topic at hand is about your eating disorder and body image, or something completely different. All of our therapists follow trauma-informed and weight-inclusive models. We do our best to provide a safer space in which to address what you want to work on without stigmatizing language or beliefs. We offer cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness informed approaches among others; all conducted through a weight-inclusive trauma-informed lens.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Disordered Eating - What is the difference between disordered eating and an eating disorder?</image:title>
      <image:caption>An eating disorder is a set of symptoms that meets specific criteria set in the DSM-V including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and others. However, most people struggling with their eating don’t fall into one of the little boxes defined by the rigid criteria in the DSM. “Disordered eating” is a phrase used to capture the experiences of people who have a problematic relationship with food but do not meet DSM criteria for an eating disorder. Symptoms of disordered eating can include: • Chronic dieting • Compulsive eating • Feeling out of control around food • Preoccupation and worry around food • Diet/binge cycles • Guilt or shame around food • Rigid rules around food • Emotional eating • Any kind of eating that feels problematic to you These are just some of the symptoms that may indicate disordered eating. At the end of the day, if you experience troubling or distressing thoughts about feeding yourself for any reason, you deserve to find support and work through that struggle.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Disordered Eating - Why attend therapy without an eating disorder diagnosis?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Just because something isn’t a diagnosed mental illness, doesn’t mean you have to suffer through it. Food is a basic requirement for life, and having a disordered relationship with it means to be burdened by your own basic needs. Having a safe, weight-inclusive space in which to explore your thoughts and feelings about your relationship with food can be a game-changer. Our therapists will help you to develop a more mindful relationship with your body and your hunger. This can be achieved through any number of therapies, including by not limited to cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness based therapy. These therapies can help you to: • Develop a more peaceful relationship with food and your body • Listen to your body’s internal cues to guide your eating including hunger, fullness, taste, food preferences, and how different foods affect your body • Better understand emotional reasons for eating • Recognize disordered thoughts, behaviors and patterns for what they are • Develop resilience to cope with “diet-culture” • Improve body image and cope better even when you don’t like your body • Release guilt and shame about food and your body</image:caption>

      <image:title>Teen and Adolescent Eating Disorder Therapy - Services for Parents of Teens with Eating Disorders</image:title>
      <image:caption>When your child is diagnosed with an eating disorder, the road ahead can feel daunting and overwhelming. Will my child be okay? How can I best support my child in recovery? How can I manage my child’s eating disorder treatment while also struggling with eating issues or being in eating disorder recovery myself? Some parents may struggle with feelings of guilt and self-blame, wondering if they did something to cause their child to have an eating disorder. Some parents feel responsible for curing their child without any tangible resources or tools to do so. At Conason Psychological Services, we support parents of children with eating disorders. We offer individual, couples, and group therapy for parents of children, teens, and young adults with eating disorders to help you navigate this difficult experience. We can collaborate closely with your child’s treatment team to understand the treatment modalities being used to treat your child and give you the tools to best support their care. Caregivers need support too! Individual therapy can help you process and cope with your child’s eating disorder, explore and heal your own relationship with food and body image, and learn strategies to support your child without losing yourself. Couples therapy can help you and your partner and/or co-parent communicate better, get on the same page, learn new strategies to support your child, and work together during this stressful time. Group therapy brings you together with other parents of children, teens, and young adults with eating disorders. Connect with others going through a similar situation to build community, connections, and support one another in a therapeutic setting.</image:caption>
