Abby Ernst, LPC, LMHC

Hi! My name is Abby Ernst (she/her) and I am SO excited that you found me. I am here to help you weather the storm of your eating disorder, anxiety, body image distress, and/or whatever else you bring to the room. Through my own eating disorder recovery, and helping many clients find theirs, I have learned that no recovery journey is the same. Recovery is SO worth it, and I would be honored to help you navigate this process. I work with individuals 16 and older in OR and WA with eating disorders including Anorexia, Bulimia, ARFID, ORthorexia, and Binge Eating Disorder. I also love to work with people with other forms of disordered eating and chronic dieting, anxiety, OCD, body image distress, life transitions, and adulting. I have experience working in both residential and outpatient eating disorder care, with queer and trans clients, and with both teens and young adults. I utilize techniques including DBT, CBT, and Narrative Therapy. I am committed to fat liberation, body neutrality, and anti-racist work and operate from a Health at Every Size lens. When you get to know me, you will learn that I love love love my job and am so honored to get to work with amazing, passionate, and brave humans each day. A few other things I love are: rain, floral print, cooking and baking, tending to my vegetable garden, doing jigsaw puzzles, and going out to eat with my friends and family. Please reach out if you would like to start, continue, or complete your journey to recovery.
