Eating Disorder Counseling in Colorado

A relationship with food and your body that feels controlled by fear, rules, or shame rather than by you. Exhausting thoughts about eating that take up more space than they should. You shouldn't have to navigate this alone. Overcomers Counseling offers eating disorder-informed counseling across Colorado Springs, Aurora, Fort Collins, and Pueblo, plus statewide teletherapy.

You Don't Have to Navigate This Alone

Eating disorders are complex and often tied to deeper struggles with control, anxiety, perfectionism, or self-worth, not simply a matter of food. Whatever your experience looks like, our therapists provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space to begin healing your relationship with food and your body.

What Counseling Can Support

Sessions focus on understanding the emotional roots of disordered eating, building a healthier relationship with food and body image, addressing underlying anxiety, perfectionism, or trauma, and developing sustainable coping tools. Treatment often works alongside medical and nutritional providers as part of a coordinated care team.

How Our Therapists Help

Our providers use evidence-based approaches, including CBT, tailored to eating disorder treatment, and coordinate closely with medical and dietary providers to ensure comprehensive, safe care. For clients who want it, we also offer faith-integrated counseling. If you are experiencing a medical emergency related to disordered eating, please seek immediate medical care or call 911.

What is the goal of counseling for eating disorders?

The goal of counseling for eating disorders isn't just about changing your eating habits; it's about healing your relationship with yourself. When you are struggling with an eating disorder, it can feel like you are at war with your body, but the goal is to help you find peace and compassion for yourself. We work together to help you understand the root of your struggles, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and find a sense of freedom. You are not a helpless passenger; you can take control and build a life of peace and well-being.

Can therapy help me with body image issues?

Body image issues can feel like you’re looking in a funhouse mirror—the reflection you see is distorted, but it feels all too real. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space for you to challenge those distorted beliefs and learn to see yourself with clarity and compassion. We’ll help you understand where those feelings come from and give you the tools to stop obsessing about your body. You are so much more than your physical appearance, and we will help you see your true beauty and worth.

What are the most effective treatments for eating disorders?

The most effective treatment for eating disorders is a comprehensive approach that addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of the condition. It’s like building a team to help you. Counseling is a crucial player on that team. Other teammates include dietitians who can help you with your eating habits and doctors who can monitor your physical health. We’ll work with you to find the best approach for your unique needs, so you can make a full recovery.

How can I support a loved one with an eating disorder?

Supporting a loved one with an eating disorder can feel like you're trying to help them climb out of a deep hole. It's an incredibly difficult and often frustrating experience. The best thing you can do is to be a supportive partner, not a rescuer. You can start by educating yourself about the condition, expressing your concerns in a loving and non-judgmental way, and encouraging them to seek professional help. We can also provide support for you, so you can be the best version of yourself.

Hilary Helkenn, PMHNP-BC
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hilary was lovely. She was kind, patient, incredibly knowledgeable and very validating. She had extensive knowledge of my conditions that most providers dismiss and it was very comforting and encouraging to hear she knew of those conditions and was well informed of them. Best psychiatrist I've had yet. 10/10
