Cait is passionate about creating an affirming, safe, creative space for therapy through the lens of Health at Every Size®, Intuitive Eating, trauma-informed, and social justice frameworks. With many years of experience in admissions, Cait is passionate about bringing hope to her clients and believes in the potential for full recovery. She has training in CBT, DBT, and trauma in addition to her background in eating disorders. Cait is currently co-chair of the Professionals in Recovery special interest group through the Academy for Eating Disorders and has presented at multiple national conferences and facilitated workshops for parents and loved ones.
I have started and am facilitating a group at Within for ED professionals who are struggling in their recovery. I am very excited that we are able to offer this - to my knowledge it's the first of it's kind! I would LOVE it if you would highlight that in the intro. I don't have a link yet, but it will be nested in our PHP/IOP. I would encourage providers to reach out to us via our website if they would like a confidential assessment.
