Binge eating Therapy in NYC for Women, Teens, and Adults
Find Peace with Food
You deserve a relationship with food that feels calm, nourishing, and shame-free.
Binge eating is often misunderstood. People may tell you to “just try harder,” “have more discipline,” or “stick to a plan,” when the truth is: binge eating has nothing to do with willpower. In fact, dieting and restriction often fuel the cycle, leaving you feeling out of control around food through no fault of your own.
Maybe you find yourself eating in secret, or eating past fullness even when you don’t want to. Maybe the shame after a binge feels heavy, like something is wrong with you. Maybe you’re stuck in exhausting cycles of “starting over on Monday,” only to end up in the same place again.
These experiences are real, painful, and incredibly common, and you don’t have to navigate them alone.
What Binge Eating Feels Like and How Therapy Helps
Binge eating can affect your thoughts, your body, and the way you move through the world.
You might feel it mentally, the guilt, the anxiety around food, the constant planning or worrying about what and when you’ll eat. You might feel it emotionally, the sense of “I messed up again,” or the fear that you’ll never have a healthy relationship with food.
You might notice it physically:
eating large amounts of food in a short period of time
feeling compelled to eat even when you aren’t hungry
eating rapidly or secretly
feeling discomfort, numbness, or dissociation while eating
intense guilt or shame afterward
And you might see it affecting your daily life, avoiding meals with others, feeling disconnected from hunger and fullness cues, constantly thinking about food, or feeling stuck in cycles of restriction and overeating.
At Thrope Therapy, our approach is compassionate, personalized, and grounded in evidence-based care. We draw on:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to shift harsh inner dialogue and break restrictive/overeating patterns
Mindfulness-based practices to reconnect you to your body’s signals
Intuitive Eating principles to rebuild trust with food
Self-compassion and embodiment tools to reduce shame and support healing
Our goal isn’t to give you more rules, it’s to help you build a peaceful, flexible relationship with food, grounded in trust rather than fear.
Healing Your Relationship with Food
At Thrope Therapy, we specialize in helping women and teens break free from binge-restriction cycles and rediscover what ease around food feels like. Our approach centers compassion, empowerment, and a deep belief that healing is possible for you.
We work with clients who have struggled with chronic dieting, emotional eating, binge eating disorder, or disordered eating patterns rooted in shame, stress, trauma, or body image concerns.
In our work together, we focus on:
understanding the root causes of binge eating (it’s not about lack of control)
shifting from self-judgment to self-compassion
ending the restrict–binge cycle for good
reconnecting with hunger, fullness, and satisfaction
exploring emotional needs without turning food into a battleground
supporting long-term healing that actually lasts
You don’t have to keep fighting with food. There is another way, one built on nourishment, trust, and freedom.
What to Expect in Binge Eating Therapy in New York
We meet you exactly where you are, whether you feel lost in cycles of bingeing, exhausted by dieting, or unsure what a “normal” relationship with food even looks like.
Our care is rooted in the following principles:
✺ Weight-Inclusive, Non-Diet Therapy
We reject the idea that health or worth is determined by weight. Instead, we focus on your lived experiences, your emotions, and what well-being truly means for you. You are not a number — you are a person deserving of care.
✺ Intuitive Eating & Food Freedom
With the principles of Intuitive Eating, we help you break free from restriction, rebuild trust with your body, and learn to eat without guilt, shame, or fear.
✺ Mindfulness & Self-Compassion
Healing from binge eating is not about discipline — it’s about kindness. We help you slow down, tune in, and relate to yourself with gentleness rather than criticism.
