Therapy for Eating Disorders in Charleston, SC

Finding Balance, Self-Acceptance, and Freedom From Disordered Eating

Eating disorders go beyond food. They’re deeply connected to emotions, past experiences, a desire for control, self-worth, and how you see yourself in the world. If you find yourself stuck in painful cycles—restricting, bingeing, purging, obsessively thinking about food or your body—please know this: you’re not alone, and you are not broken.

It can feel overwhelming to even think about getting help. Maybe part of you is desperate for change, while another part is scared to let go of the patterns that have felt like a form of safety. That’s okay. Healing is a process, and it doesn’t have to be perfect. What matters is that you’re here, and you’re considering taking the first step.

At Waterfall Wellness Center, we offer eating disorder therapy that is compassionate, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based practices. Whether you’re struggling with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, orthorexia, or disordered eating that doesn’t fit neatly into a category, we’re here to help.

We take the time to understand you—not just your symptoms. We’ll work together to explore the emotional and psychological roots of your eating disorder, helping you build a healthier relationship with food, your body, and yourself. Our approach is rooted in empathy, curiosity, and the belief that full recovery is possible.

There’s no shame here. No judgment. Just a safe space where you can be real, feel supported, and start to reclaim your life. If you're ready to talk, or even if you’re just thinking about it, we’re here when you’re ready.

How We Help

Eating disorders are complex, and they don’t look the same for everyone. That’s why we take an individualized approach to therapy, addressing the unique challenges you’re facing. Our treatment strategies may include:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identify and challenge the thoughts that drive unhealthy eating behaviors.

  • Intuitive Eating & Body Image Work: Develop a healthier relationship with food and learn to respect your body.

  • EMDR & Trauma-Informed Therapy: Address past experiences and negative core beliefs that may be fueling disordered eating patterns.

  • Mindfulness & Emotion Regulation: Learn tools to manage stress, anxiety, and difficult emotions without turning to food.

  • Support for Co-Occurring Concerns: Many people with eating disorders also struggle with anxiety, depression, or trauma—our therapy addresses the whole picture.
