Recovered and Restored Eating Disorder Therapy

12/26/2025

Have you ever felt like your eating disorder is tied to something deeper - old memories, shame, criticism, or experiences your body never fully let go of? At Recovered & Restored, our trained clinicians use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help clients safely process the trauma and emotional wounds that often sit beneath restrictive eating, bingeing, purging, body-checking, or perfectionistic patterns.

Many people search for “trauma therapy for eating disorders” or “EMDR near me” because traditional talk therapy hasn’t fully addressed those stuck places. EMDR gives your brain and body a way to release what has been holding you back so recovery can feel less like fighting yourself and more like moving forward with clarity.

We offer EMDR through virtual therapy in PA, NJ, DE, MD, CT, VT, SC, and FL. Visit our website to learn more.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy that can help individuals process traumatic experiences, alleviate negative symptoms, and find relief and freedom in their lives. Learn more about EMDR for eating disorder recovery today.
