Recognizing it
How people describe an eating disorder
Eating disorders show up at every weight, and many people who have one look perfectly healthy.
Rules that keep multiplying
Certain foods are off limits, meals are skipped or measured, and breaking a rule brings panic. The list keeps growing.
The binge and the payback
Eating far past full, often alone, then making up for it by restricting, purging or exercising hard. It starts again a few days later.
Weighed down by how you look
A glance in the mirror or at the scale decides whether today is a good day. Clothes, photos and comments all feel loaded.
What we practice
What eating disorder counseling in Katy works on
- A regular eating rhythmThree meals and planned snacks at steady times, because skipping meals tends to set off bingeing or more restriction.
- Testing the food rulesBringing feared foods back gradually, starting with the least frightening, at a pace you agree to.
- Seeing your body more fairlyReducing body checking and comparison, and giving shape and weight a smaller say in your worth.
- Coping without foodOther ways to handle stress, loneliness or boredom than eating, restricting or purging.
How it runs here
Eating disorder treatment on Kingsland Boulevard
This is weekly outpatient counseling that targets the thoughts and habits keeping the eating disorder going. When it is needed, it runs alongside your doctor and a dietitian.
The methods are mainly cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
Outpatient care, and when more is needed
Weekly outpatient counseling suits many people, and we will say clearly if your symptoms need closer medical care. Some eating disorders call for regular checkups, and some need a day program or more.
If so, we will help you find the right level of care.

Before you book
Common questions about eating disorder counseling in Katy
Is my weight too normal to need help?
Weight is not the test. People at any size can have an eating disorder, and help starts with what is happening, not with what the scale says.
Can ADHD play a part in binge eating?
It can. Impulsivity, irregular meals and using food to focus or settle are common in adults with ADHD, and they can feed a binge cycle.
If attention and follow-through have been lifelong struggles, mention it on the form. We also offer ADHD therapy for adults in Katy.
Will I be told what to eat?
Your counselor helps you build a regular pattern, but you are not handed a diet. If detailed meal planning would help, we can point you to a dietitian.
Is there help for a teenager with eating concerns?
Our Katy counselors see adults one to one, but two counselors at our Woodlands office work with teens. Tell us your teen's age and concerns so we can check which counselor and level of care fit.
For a teen, regular pediatrician visits matter alongside counseling.
What is a first session like?
It starts with one short form, in your own words. We read it, match you with a counselor, and tell you the estimated cost before you book.
From there you can start with a free consultation or go straight to a first session with your counselor. Sessions are weekly and one to one, in person at our Kingsland Boulevard office or by secure video from anywhere in Texas.
Nobody weighs you or asks for a food diary at the first session; it is a conversation about what has been happening.
What if the first counselor is not the right fit?
Tell us. Fit matters more than almost anything else in whether counseling helps, so we do not treat it as a complaint.
Under the Reset, your first session with a new counselor is free. The Reset is about fit only, not a promise about results.
