Susanne found her passion for medicine and healing in naturopathic medicine. She completed her Naturopathic Doctor degree at Bastyr University in Seattle, followed by a medical residency at the National University of Natural Medicine. Soon thereafter, Susanne and her husband celebrated the birth of their first baby. Susanne’s medical training and practice are based on the naturopathic philosophy, which holds that each individual has an innate drive and ability to heal. Using this foundation, Susanne is passionate about practicing patient-centered medicine and brings naturopathic modalities including nutrition, botanical medicine, body work, and homeopathy into her visits. In her approach to care she strives to recognize each person’s uniqueness and aims to foster a collaborative relationship to promote wellbeing.

Hello! My name is Shira, and I am thrilled to offer virtual nutrition services to children and adults who are looking to improve their relationship with food, body image, and movement. I have worked in all higher levels of care for eating disorder treatment, and worked in Division I settings as a leader for performance nutrition and disordered eating care among athletes. I use a non-diet approach, and am aligned with a HAES framework. I am a former athlete and maintain a second board certification as a Certified Specialist in Sport Dietetics. Additionally, I have several years of experience in working with clients who are impacted by the co-occurrence of type 1 diabetes and an eating disorder.

I am an eating disorder dietitian offering nutrition counseling for all individuals ages 18 and older. My practice is weight inclusive with a non-diet, Health At Every Size® approach. Please visit my website for more information about my practice, or reach out to schedule a free phone consultation. I would love to hear from you.

I provide care that rejects the diet and weight-loss paradigm and centers around exploring your relationship to body, food, and movement. I view acupuncture and East Asian medicine from a weight-neutral, social-justice informed lens, and I also offer adjunctive eating disorder care by addressing symptoms of eating disorders and eating disorder recovery such as digestive issues, hormone dysregulation, insomnia, and anxiety. I am invested in providing safer experiences of healthcare so that individuals can connect with and trust their bodies.

Marena highly values honoring each person’s journey and story while providing services to individuals struggling with eating disorders, body dysmorphia, anxiety, trauma, new and/or stressful transitions, and adversity. She also works with clients struggling with a sense of self/identity, difficulty communicating, and lack of connection. Marena’s work stems from the belief that a fully recovered life from an eating disorder is possible for any individual through exploration, personal narratives, and strengthening a sense of worthiness and self-compassion. It is also her belief that these same ways support clients struggling with body image, anxiety, relationships, emotion regulation, and so much more. Marena’s clinical approach focuses on fostering healing through authenticity, building connection, and shame resilience; and specifically works through the feminist theory lens. Self-compassion, self-worth, radical acceptance, and mindfulness are core components to Marena’s approach, while also incorporating evidence-based practices such as DBT, CBT, and Psychodynamic Therapy.

My practice is tailored toward high-functioning professional women who struggle with issues of overachieving, poor body image, low self-esteem and imposter syndrome. Typically, these concerns coalesce with a lack of good self-care and present in the form of over-working, putting others' needs above her own and often result in ineffective coping strategies such as emotional eating, substance use and dysregulated sleep. I work with clients to help restore balance to thoughts and behaviors, in an effort to help move them toward valued living.

I am a counselor based in Portland and I offer telehealth services to adults throughout Oregon. I specialize in helping those who struggle with body shame and disordered eating, those dealing with trauma/complex PTSD/shame, and those who have chronic illness and/or pain. I use concepts from Health At Every Size®, Body Trust®, and fat liberation to help my clients forge peaceful relationships with their bodies and food. I also use experiential therapy (specifically a therapy called AEDP) to help my clients face feelings that have been too difficult to face on their own. I especially love supporting those in fat bodies and those who struggle with binge eating. I am fat positive, anti-racist, LGBTQIA2S+ affirming, neurodiversity affirming, sex positive, and kink/poly affirming. I welcome all clients to my practice, whatever their race, ethnicity, religion, size, gender, sexuality, dis/abilities, citizenship, or social class.

If binge eating or worrying about food, eating, weight and shape feel like they have taken over your life, I can help you regain a sense of balance, control and peace around these issues. My approach is to help guide you back to your own body's inner wisdom. I am a clinical psychologist and have over 25 years of experience in the treatment of binge eating and related problems. I use weight neutral, evidence-based treatments that have been shown to help clients obtain lasting change. Ultimately, my goal is to help you become free from the rules, stress, anxiety and negativity that limit life when someone is suffering from an eating disorder. And with that new freedom, you’ll be able to turn more of your time and attention to the things that truly bring you joy and matter most to you.
