Samantha Barr MA, LPC, NCC – Eating Disorder Care

So, your relationship with food has brought you here, but maybe you’re unsure if what you consider some form of overeating warrants seeking professional help. You don’t have to suffer from anorexia and/or bulimia to “deserve” treatment and support. People who are enduring binge and emotional eating are often blamed (by themselves and others) for their use of food. If this is you, you may believe you have no “will power” and your relationship with food/body is your “fault”. You aren’t yet aware there are reasons (always other than will power) that explain your experience with food/body. You are not to blame.
My mission is to help you find relief, so that food is just food again—free of stress and shame. I specialize in the treatment of binge eating disorder, compulsive overeating, emotional overeating, eating addiction, and their related struggles, such as depression. To help you become fully present, and live a life not overshadowed by worry.
I believe in harnessing your critical thinking skills to help you create positive change. I’ll encourage you to keep asking “why” and questioning thoughts or values to determine for yourself what‘s important (instead of defaulting to what “should” be important). This authenticity and conviction translate to all other areas of life.
