Recovery from an eating disorder is not one size fits all.

A harm reduction approach focuses on reducing medical and psychological risk while supporting gradual, sustainable change.

Harm reduction therapy recognizes that meaningful progress can begin long before behaviors disappear completely.

At 𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞: 𝐄𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐖𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 & 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬, we use harm reduction alongside evidence-based therapy to support adolescents, young adults, midlife to older adults, and individuals navigating GLP-1 medications.

At SpringSource: Eating, Weight & Mood Disorders, we integrate harm reduction with evidence-based therapy, mood treatment, and GLP-1 mental health support to meet individuals where they are.

What is one thing everyone should know about therapy?

Hear what SpringSource: Eating, Weight, & Mood Disorder clinicians have to say!

𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲

Globally, an estimated 16.4 billion hours of unpaid domestic and caregiving labor are performed every day, with women carrying the majority of that work.
(Source: International Labour Organization: https://www.ilo.org/resource/news/ilo-women-do-4-times-more-unpaid-care-work-men-asia-and-pacific)

Much of this labor is invisible.

It looks like remembering everything.

Anticipating needs before they are spoken.

Smoothing conflict.

Holding together families, workplaces, and communities.

Researchers and clinicians often refer to this as 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿.

Emotional labor is essential to healthy relationships, family care, and functioning organizations. But when it falls disproportionately on women, and goes unrecognized, undervalued, and unsupported, the result is exhaustion and burnout.

At SpringSource, we explore the psychological impact of this invisible burden in our recent blog: “𝑬𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝑳𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒓 & 𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝑹𝒐𝒍𝒆𝒔: 𝑾𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏 𝑩𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝑳𝒐𝒂𝒅, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑾𝒆 𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝑬𝒙𝒉𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒅” https://springsourcecenter.com/emotional-labor-gender-roles-women-bear-the-mental-load/

Care work may be invisible in our economic systems, but it is foundational to how our families, workplaces, and communities function. When the labor that sustains people goes unrecognized, it becomes unsustainable for those who carry it. Recognizing the importance of this labor is a crucial step toward supporting the people who perform it.

At 𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞: 𝐄𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐖𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 & 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬, we are committed to supporting women as they navigate emotional labor, caregiving responsibilities, life transitions, and leadership roles in their families and workplaces. No one should have to carry the weight of these challenges alone.

SpringSource: Eating, Weight, and Mood Disorders is proud to highlight one of our senior therapists, Masha Erofeeva, LCPC.

Beginning therapy is an act of courage, and Masha Erofeeva meets that moment with warmth, compassion, and curiosity.

Masha creates a space that feels both safe and empowering, helping clients reconnect with themselves and build trust in their capacity to grow and heal.

She currently sees clients virtually throughout Illinois and brings a holistic, mind-body approach to each session. Masha has immediate openings for virtual appointments and is in-network with most insurances. Please call 224-202-6260 x 1 to schedule a session with Masha.

For Eating Disorders Awareness Week, SpringSource shares that these conditions are complex and deeply relational.

Many adults, especially women, carry invisible emotional labor, caregiving stress, and cultural pressure that can intensify eating disorder symptoms.

At SpringSource: Eating, Weight & Mood Disorders, we use relational and psychodynamic therapy alongside evidence-based treatments like CBT and DBT to support sustainable recovery.

If you are struggling with food, body image, or control, you are not alone.

Eating Disorders Awareness Week | February 23 – March 1, 2026

Eating disorders do not have a “look.”

For too long, higher-weight eating disorders have been under-recognized, under-diagnosed, and misunderstood. Body size alone does not determine illness severity, medical risk, or the need for care.

At SpringSource: Eating, Weight & Mood Disorders, we specialize in treating eating disorders across the weight spectrum. We also recognize the growing complexity of care in the era of GLP-1 medications. Medical treatment alone is not enough. Sustainable recovery requires psychological, behavioral, and relational support. Read more in our recent newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/springsourcecenter/the-source-eating-disorders-awareness-week-2026

If you are struggling with restrictive eating, binge cycles, chronic dieting, body distress, or weight-focused interventions without emotional support, you deserve a comprehensive evaluation.

This week, we are centering higher-weight eating disorders and the importance of integrated, evidence-based care.

If this resonates, we are here.

WHO + Therapy

The World Health Organization now recommends pairing GLP-1 medications with intensive behavioral and psychological support.

Why? Because lasting change is not built on prescriptions alone. It grows from:

• Emotional regulation
• Coping skills
• Compassion after setbacks
• A more trusting relationship with your body
• Understanding long-standing patterns without judgment

At SpringSource, we provide the mental health care that makes change sustainable. Our work is rooted in dignity, safety, and whole-person healing.

GLP-1 medications can provide a much-needed mechanism to address biology.

Therapy helps you build resilience and practice acceptance and self-compassion. In other words, we support you in finding a sense of safety within yourself, so you can live in your body with greater ease, purpose, and comfort.

Both matter.
