Family + Couples Therapy for Body Image, Disordered Eating, and Recovery Support

Find Mental Health Support for Your Loved Ones

Mental health doesn’t happen in isolation. Relationships and family dynamics can play an important role in how we cope, communicate, and heal.

The Collective offers couples therapy as well as specialized family support for eating disorder recovery.

Couples Therapy

Healthy relationships still require work.

Couples therapy can help partners strengthen communication, navigate conflict, rebuild trust, and better understand the patterns shaping their relationship.

Whether you’re navigating a major transition, experiencing ongoing stress, feeling disconnected, or repeatedly falling into the same conflicts, therapy provides a space to slow down and understand what’s happening between you.

The goal isn’t to determine who is “right.” It’s to help both partners communicate more effectively, understand one another, and build a healthier emotional connection.

Eating Disorder Family Support & Education

Eating disorders affect more than the person experiencing them.

Parents, partners, and loved ones often want to help but aren’t sure what to say, what to do, or when to step in.

Our eating disorder family support provides education and practical guidance to help loved ones better understand eating disorders and become confident, supportive members of the recovery process.

Sessions may focus on communication, boundaries, responding to eating disorder behaviors, supporting treatment, and reducing patterns at home that may unintentionally make recovery more difficult.

Meal Support for Eating Disorder Recovery

Supporting someone with an eating disorder can leave you questioning everything you say and do.

Education sessions help parents, partners, and other loved ones better understand eating disorders, treatment, and the recovery process.

We provide practical strategies for communicating around food and body image, responding to difficult moments, supporting meals, setting appropriate boundaries, and distinguishing between the person you love and the eating disorder itself.

The goal is to help families feel less helpless and more equipped to provide meaningful support.
