EMDR & Trauma Therapy · Eating Disorders · Orange County, CA
You've already tried to handle this on your own.
You've read the books. Downloaded the apps. Told yourself Monday would be different.
And you're tired.
Maybe it's a relationship with food that takes up more room in your head than you'd admit to anyone. Maybe it's the anxiety that arrives before you're fully awake. Maybe it's something that happened years ago that you've gotten very good at not thinking about — except it keeps showing up in how you eat, how you sleep, how you react.
Insight hasn't been the problem. You understand your patterns. Understanding them hasn't changed them.
That's the difference between general therapy and specialist treatment.
We do two things and we do them deeply: eating disorders, and the anxiety and trauma underneath them.
That's the whole practice.
-
Restriction, bingeing, purging, compulsive exercise, or a relationship with food that never gets quiet. Anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and body image.
Full recovery is possible, and we know the route.
-
When something underneath is driving the rest, talk therapy can hit a ceiling. EMDR works on what talking tends to talk around.
-
The dread you wake up with. The conversation you're still replaying from Tuesday. The standard you'd never hold anyone else to. You know it isn't rational — that has never once made it stop.
Two therapists. Two ways in.
We're a small practice on purpose.
You won't be assigned to whoever has an opening — we'll talk first and match you to the right person.

Chloe Cox, LMFT
Founder & Clinical Director
Chloe works with clients whose eating disorder or anxiety has trauma underneath it — the ones who've done therapy before, understand their patterns completely, and haven't been able to change them anyway. She's trained in EMDR and brings it into eating disorder and trauma work.
Strongest with: binge eating, restriction and chronic dieting, trauma and PTSD, perfectionism

Brittany Hitt, LCSW
Lead Clinical Therapist
Brittany works in cognitive behavioral therapy, focused on the eating disorder and anxiety behaviors themselves — the food rules, the rituals, the compulsions, the loops. Clients describe her as the person who made them feel at ease before they'd figured out how to say the hard part out loud.
Strongest with: anorexia and bulimia recovery, anxiety and OCD, perfectionism, body image
$195 per 45-minute session · In-network with Aetna and United Healthcare
Specialists, not generalists.
Most therapists list eating disorders among fifteen other things they treat.
We treat eating disorders, anxiety, and trauma — and we treat them where they overlap, which is where most people actually live.
That focus is the whole point.
It means we recognize atypical anorexia when it gets missed. It means we know when compulsive exercise is the real issue and food is the symptom.
It means when trauma is driving an eating disorder, we have EMDR available rather than referring you out mid-treatment and asking you to start over with a stranger.
It also means we'll tell you when we're not enough. If you need medical monitoring, a dietitian, an IOP, or residential care, we'll say so and help you find it. We'd rather refer you well than keep you at a level of care that holds you back.
