I’m Juliana, the Founder at Reclaiming Juliana. I share a breathwork practice dedicated to empowering womxn to reclaim their bodies, minds, and spirits. In a world that demands so much of us, I hold space for you to reconnect with your inner wisdom, honor your truth, and cultivate deep self-care. My mission is to guide you back home to yourself, providing tools and support to rediscover the beauty and power within. As a later in life lesbian who spent a lifetime disconnected from my body, I understand first hand how important learning how to connect to your inner knowing is. I combine somatic breathwork with trauma-informed training to gently guide you home to yourself.

Wilder Wellness is a group therapy practice that is here to help you redefine what wellness means to you. We help you let go of the beliefs and narratives that no longer serve you to build a more trusting relationship with food and your body. We believe that our relationship with our body and food impacts all areas of our lives, from our mental health, relationships, and our overall self-esteem and confidence. Learning to build trust and attunement with your body can feel like climbing a mountain, we know you may feel lost, scared, and uncertain. Our role is to give you the tools and navigation to support you along the way. Therapists at Wilder Wellness build therapeutic relationships through collaboration, creativity, and warmth. We are here to meet you with authenticity and compassion and engage in the therapeutic process in a way that is uniquely tailored to you. We provide quality, effective, and evidence-based treatment virtually for residents in Oregon.

Licensed psychologist in Oregon and Maryland.

I provide compassionate and evidence based nutrition counseling. I am also a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and weave this into the work I do. I love supporting adults who have identified that whatever they are doing isn't working anymore, and are ready to dig deep into their food and body story, in order to find relief and maybe even freedom. I also work as a clinical dietitian, and am able to support clients with other health conditions, including but not limited to digestive issues (IBD, IBS), type 1 and type 2 diabetes, etc. I provide individual nutrition counseling via telehealth, but also offer educational grocery store tours and in home cooking lessons in the greater Portland and Vancouver area. You can learn more on my website!

As a therapist, I specialize in eating disorder and body image work, life transitions, and couples therapy. My approach is client-centered and trauma-informed; while I bring a background in mental health, I believe you are the expert on yourself. I like to bring my authentic self to sessions, which means you can expert humor, warmth and genuine passion for witnessing people’s stories. I also often incorporate narrative therapy, art therapy, psychoanalysis, parts work, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I’m curious about your family history, relationships, and what makes you feel pleasure, feel grounded and feel connected. In our sessions, I may encourage you to tune into your body and physical sensations as a way to better understand your emotions. Together, we’ll work toward greater self-compassion and a deeper connection to your embodied self. When I’m not working, you can find me in my garden with my husband, my daughter, and our cats, cooking while listening to good music or a podcast, working on a painting, drawing, or craft, or enjoying being outside year-round (as a native Portlander, I’m no stranger to hiking in the rain!).

I practice nutrition counseling with an anti-diet, intuitive eating, and HAES® approach. This means that I uphold the belief that food is not black and white and that people in larger bodies deserve equal treatment in society, including healthcare. Additionally, I support and align with the fat liberation movement by acknowledging the systems within our society that oppress fat individuals and by participating in dismantling these systems. I am also passionate about providing care to people of all backgrounds and identities. It is important to me to create a space that is safe, welcoming, and inclusive for everyone and every body. In working with individuals with diverse backgrounds, I feel it’s important to acknowledge the various forms of privilege I have as a white, cis-gendered, able-bodied, straight-sized person. Because of my own privilege, I realize that I do not share the lived experience of everyone I work with, which is why it is important to me to listen to your story and understand who you are as an ally in your journey and pursuit of healing. My previous work experience includes working in primary care settings where I supported individuals with various nutrition-related health concerns as well as at eating disorder treatment centers at the residential, PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program), IOP (Intensive Outpatient), and outpatient levels of care. In addition to working with individual clients, I also offer supervision to dietitians looking to enhance their eating disorder recovery and anti-diet nutrition counseling skills.

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.

ACCEPTING FOR GROUPS* If you are struggling with an eating disorder, I can help! I know the isolation, denial, justifications and struggles that make recovery difficult. I aim to create a space individually and with peers where you can experiment with recovery and see if it is better than your eating disorder (it is eventually). Eating disorders thrive in isolation, so peer support and building a recovery community is a large part of my treatment model. If you are at the place where you want to try something different (I promise you won't forget how to have an eating disorder if you want to go back to it), then let's work together! I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders. I hold a specialty certification in eating disorder treatment from Lewis and Clark. Additionally, I have nearly four years of experience working at the PHP and IOP level of care with individuals struggling with eating disorders. I believe in full recovery because I have seen it and am recovered myself. I am passionate about treating individuals with eating disorders. I work will work with you wherever you are at in recovery. I recognize the lies the eating disorder tells us to convince us to not seek treatment- the waning motivation, but I invite you to reach out. You already know how your eating disorder will be, so let's start (or keep doing) recovery.
