Meet San Diego’s Eating Disorder and Social Justice Therapist Allyson Ford, LPCC
Get to know San Diego eating disorder therapist Allyson Inez Ford, LPCC (@bodyjustice.therapist on instagram). After spending time on her awesome IG feed, I got to know Allyson personally a couple of months ago. What stood out to me is her passion for having social justice serve as a cornerstone for her eating disorder therapy practice in San Diego. In these challenging times, it is more important than ever. Allyson feels especially connected to BIPOC individuals, especially those who are mixed race. She is an important addition to the San Diego eating disorder community.
Social Justice in Eating Disorder Treatment--The Renfrew Center's Paula Edwards-Gayfield, LPC
Today’s blog highlights how eating disorder treatment centers can integrate social justice. Whether in San Diego or elsewhere, it’s vital to acknowledge how racism, homophobia, transphobia, ablism, sexism, fat phobia, etc., intersect to make eating disorder recovery more difficult. I’ve interviewed Paula Edwards-Gayfield, LPC, who is in charge of the The Renfrew Center for Eating Disorders in Los Angeles. She also is the co-chair for the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Taskforce. I’m excited for you to get to know her and what Renfrew offers with eating disorder treatment.
