OUR SPECIALTIES
Therapy to help heal your relationship with food & your body
Are you constantly obsessing about food and calories? Do you feel that no matter what you do, you aren’t good enough? Are you constantly comparing your body to others? Maybe you believe that if you just lose enough weight, your life will be perfect.
Being constantly bombarded with social media and diet culture can cause low self-esteem and feelings of inadequacy. We are constantly seeing unrealistic images of perfection, pressuring us to keep up with the latest trends to feel that we belong. Even when we try to step away from diet culture and accept ourselves, we may feel guilted and shamed by others who judge our bodies.
Our goal at Amar Husain Mental Health Counseling Services is to help you regain a peaceful relationship with food and learn to love your body for what it can do. Through self-esteem work and intuitive eating skills you can gain back the connection to your body and learn to listen to what you need. Through parts work therapy you will also learn to explore and be curious about the part of you that struggles with an eating disorder and learn all the ways that this part has protected you in the past, but is no longer needed. You will learn to release these parts that you no longer need, so that they can rest and remain in the past.
Be your own best advocate
At Amar Husain Mental Health Counseling Services, you can expect a safe place that is yours to explore these deeper questions about your life, clarify your hopes and desires, and develop greater feelings of self-worth and self-acceptance.

Our approach to healing
Our therapists are experts in trauma and are committed to a holistic, customized approach that targets the root of the problem. Our approach is compassionate, curious and creative. Our practice is also completely online so that therapy is easily accessible for the busy on-the-go professional.
Inclusive
Trauma, depression, and anxiety do not discriminate. They are universal, human problems. We’re committed to providing anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and LGBTQIA+ affirming care.
Holistic
Through somatic therapy we’ll address physical symptoms showing up in the body, along with inner child work to reacquaint you with the unmet needs of your younger selves, and EMDR which helps reprocess traumatic memories.
Tailored
Gaining insight into how your upbringing may be impacting your current life gives you agency and allows you to decide what healing looks like for you. We support your self-leadership, so that you can become your own healer and handle whatever life throws you.
