At Encounter Counseling, we believe that every individual deserves to live a life free from the burdens of disordered eating, body dissatisfaction, and low self-esteem. Our team of experienced therapists, led by Chelsea Yamaguchi, MA, NCC, Licensed Professional Counselor, is dedicated to providing a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic environment for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related to food, weight, and body image.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower individuals to develop a positive and compassionate relationship with food, their bodies, and themselves. We strive to provide education, support, and guidance to help individuals break free from the cycle of dieting, bingeing, and body shame, and instead, cultivate a healthy relationship with food and their bodies.
Our Services
We offer a range of services designed to support individuals in their journey towards a healthier and more fulfilling relationship with food and their bodies. Our services include:
- Disordered Eating Counseling: We provide individual and group counseling sessions for individuals struggling with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and other types of disordered eating.
- Bariatric Psychological Evaluations: We offer pre and post-bariatric surgery evaluations and counseling to support individuals undergoing weight loss surgery.
- Weight Inclusive Counseling: Our weight-inclusive approach focuses on promoting overall health and well-being, rather than weight loss or weight gain. We believe that every individual, regardless of their shape, size, or weight, deserves to live a healthy and fulfilling life.
Our Approach
Our approach is centered around empathy, compassion, and understanding. We believe that every individual is unique, and therefore, we tailor our approach to meet the specific needs and goals of each client. Our therapists are trained in a range of therapeutic modalities, including emotion-focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and EMDR.
