I am proud to be part of a practice that prioritizes giving back to the community!

Over the past few months, our team at Authentically You Eating Disorder Counseling worked diligently to plan and host our third Finding Freedom Gala securing sponsors, organizing logistics, and gathering donations to make the event possible.

Friday night’s gala brought together clinicians, advocates, and supporters for an impactful evening focused on expanding access to eating disorder treatment for those who cannot afford care.

Thank you to carolyncostin , kirstenhaglundfoundation, and all our incredible sponsors for your partnership and continued commitment to this important work.

Meaningful change happens when collaboration and purpose align.
