A Safe Place To Start
Sova Counseling offers supportive, values-guided, evidence based, eating disorder care designed to meet people wherever they are.
Are we right for you?
• You have been diagnosed with an eating disorder such as binge eating, anorexia, bulimia, or ARFID
• You’re struggling with eating patterns, food anxiety, or loss of trust in your body, even without a diagnosis
• You’re a parent or caregiver worried about a child or teen’s relationship with food, eating, or body
• Previous treatment has felt incomplete, mismatched, or difficult to sustain
If you’re unsure where you fit, that’s okay. We help people clarify next steps together.
