Are You A High-Performing Person? Hear From Therapist Chris Rabanera, LMFT
Are you a high-performing person from California, Michigan, or Nevada? Do you constantly push yourself to the limit, aiming for the next promotion, the bigger bonus, the larger house?

It is also a typical trait for many medical professionals, who have been especially struggling these last few years. Trained in San Diego, California, therapist Chris Rabanera, LMFT, really gets the complexities of the drive to perform. He provides online therapy in California, Michigan, and Nevada. Chris is so passionate about what he does. I’m so glad that you’ll get to know him!

Get to Know Eating Disorder Therapist Katie Bongiorno, LMFT
Weeks ago, I was sitting in my San Diego, California eating disorder office and connected with Pennsylvania-based eating disorder therapist and eating disorder educator Katie Bongiorno, LMFT. She and I instantly clicked. She is so authentic! Not only am I impressed with her passion for helping people recover from eating disorders, I also connect with her own recovery story in that I’m recovered from an eating disorder as well. I found recovery in a San Diego eating disorder therapist’s office; she did with an east coast therapist. We both recounted how freeing it has been to have the eating disorder long behind us, and we love how called we both feel to get people on the pathway to recovery, no matter on which coast we live.
How Can Meditating and Tapping Help Eating Disorder Recovery?Meet The Meditating Doctor Jill Wener, MD
How can meditation help eating disorder recovery? In my practice, San Diego eating disorder therapy clients who meditate regularly tend to recover much quicker than those who do not meditate. Enter Jill Werner, MD, who specializes in meditating and tapping (a form of meditation that incorporates tapping various parts of the body). One thing that’s awesome about Jill is that she does a ton of work on herself before offering it to clients. I also appreciate how Jill addresses patriarchy and white supremacy in her media: Jill hosts The Conscious Anti-Racism podcast and has co-written a book on anti-racism.

It’s excruciating, both physically and mentally, to have both chronic pain and an eating disorder. I know—I’ve experienced both. I’ve also treated many people in San Diego with both eating disorders and chronic pain. I was so excited to meet Dr. Kelly Kessler, physical therapist and eating disorder and chronic pain coach. Not only do we have similar experiences and interests, we really get the complexities of having issues with pain, food, eating, and body image. Kelly has such a unique and effective approach to treating these complexities, and I’m so excited for you to get to know her!

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.

Get Top Eating Disorder Medical Care with Gaudiani Clinic's Dr. Sarah-Ashley Robbins, MD
It can feel nearly impossible to find quality eating disorder medical care in San Diego and elsewhere. You tell your medical doctor that you have an eating disorder, and they still weigh you, they still talk about what you should or should not eat, and they make judgments about your BMI. It discourages you so much that you avoid going to the physician until your health worsens and you end up in urgent care or the ER. There is hope. Gaudiani Clinic, founded by Dr. Jennifer Gaudiani, MD, is the top eating disorder medical outpatient clinic in the United States.
