CREDN Provider Directory

I specialize in working with adults of all genders dealing with eating disorders and all that accompanies them: trauma, anxiety, depression, as well as spirituality and identity development. In session, we use a person-centered approach, and often incorporate principles of attachment/psychodynamic theory as well as skills and tools from CBT and DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), and Radically Open DBT. Sociological and multicultural perspectives can also help us understand the beliefs we hold about ourselves. Most importantly, no one understands a client better than the client themselves - I see it as my job to help you, by your side.

Annika is trained as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and has been practicing for 15 years. She creates an affirming and compassionate space to explore some of the most tender parts of ourselves. She is trained as an Intuitive Eating Counselor and has extensive training in Internal Family Systems and Mindfulness Based practices. All people are welcome here. Together we can create a space for exploration and healing. We want to specifically state a welcome to all folks living in marginalized bodies. We work from an anti-oppression lens and feel strongly that we must openly acknowledge the privilege in our bodies and the power we hold as providers in order to do our best to create that healing environment.

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 Oregon and Washington 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.

I am a non-diet, weight inclusive Registered Dietitian offering 1:1 nutrition counseling based in Portland, OR and formerly from Brooklyn, NY. I specialize in eating disorders and disordered eating, and am passionate about helping people find peace in their relationship with food and body. I counsel through the lens of intuitive eating, use evidence-based practices, and take a client-centered approach to help clients work towards recovery and food freedom. Before becoming a Registered Dietitian, I worked as a professional dancer. While this career was driven from a joy of movement and passion for the stage, it also meant growing up in a world that required perfection and unattainable body standards. This environment led me to a less than healthy and happy relationship to food and my body. My own journey of rediscovering the joy in food, eating, movement, and respect for my body has inspired me to help others along this path. I am a firm believer of thinking beyond just physical health when it comes to nutrition, and making space to experience the way food provides nourishment through joy, communal experience, exploration, comfort, honoring cultural backgrounds, and showing and receiving love. Everybody is deserving of a happy and peaceful relationship with food and their body, and I am honored to create the space to explore what that means for you.

I am a Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach in the Portland area who believes connection is the most significant ingredient in any relationship. Our relationship with exercises, our relationship with food, our relationship with our body - all of it is centered around connection with ourselves and others. My training methodology follows this belief - our work together is just as much around mental growth as it is physical accomplishment. We focus on what healthy means for YOU and develop a supportive road map to get you there. I've been training for about 4 years, and I've been an athlete my entire life, and have worked through my own struggles around food and body image. I aim to add to the supportive network of individuals involved in helping people re-establish a healthy relationship with food and exercise.

I offer individual and family therapy to adolescents and young adults (14+) who are experiencing eating disorders, chronic health and or disability, pain. I utilize Emotionally Focused Family Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness based stress reduction for chronic illness. I am particularly passionate about those who have experienced medical neglect and aim to provide a space that feels safe for working through feelings and conflict. My practice is fat-positive, anti-racist, queer affirming, and grounded in disability justice. If you are interested in learning more, please visit my website, or reach out for a free consultation!

Long-time fat activist and eating disorders specialist, and one of the founders of the Health at Every Size framework of care, I work with people who are exposed to the harmful ranking of bodies and worth. I am licensed in California and Washington and do telehealth with people who are seeking more connection with their own wisdom and the wisdom of their chosen communities as we navigate this wild ride. I also do consultation with other clinicians, researchers, activists, authors and journalists who are also trying to thoughtfully chart a path. I do not accept insurance (or communicate with insurers) but provide monthly superbills for those who might get reimbursed.

I specialize in working with adults and teens (16+) who struggle with anxiety, depression, eating disorders and/or body image concerns. I came into this profession after recovering from my own eating disorder over twenty years ago. Once I found myself on the other side I realized I wanted to help others find their own path to freedom. There isn’t one approach that works for everyone. Therapy for me is a collaborative process. I enjoy getting creative and finding a framework that best serves each client.

I started Vara Nutrition with a vision of transforming the way we approach and value food, nutrition, and movement. My mission is to support you in shifting your relationship with food from contention and fear to peace and comfort. When I am not talking about food, I like to spend my free time hiking, cooking, paddle boarding, crafting, reading and hanging out with my pup, Lily Bug the Frenchton.

I am committed to offering a space where your whole Self is welcomed, without judgment and without pressure to be anything other than who you truly are. At Restorative Pathways, I help people reconnect with the wisdom of their body, soften patterns of survival, and remember the truth of their wholeness. Through somatic based therapy or trauma-informed bodywork, I support your return to a life shaped by self-trust, pleasure, and possibility. I am in person in SW Portland or virtual throughout Oregon. As an LMT for over 10 years I am trained in trauma informed Myofascial Release & Craniosacral Therapy and I have an accessible office with a wide, electrical lift massage table to make ALL bodies comfortable. As a counselor, I am trained in eating disorders from Lewis & Clark College, have clinical outpatient experience with teens, adults and elders with eating disorders. I have also finished training as a Body Trust provider and am awaiting final certification and am a certified Somatic EMDR practitioner.
