About Me
My name is Blair. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, Clinical Supervisor and Consultant, and the Owner of Free Form Counseling. I have been in practice for over 7 years and have worked at all levels of care. I am a relationally based therapist, meaning I aim to offer a grounding, connected, and committed therapeutic relationship that you can trust in while we work through the challenges you're facing, using evidence-based practices to help you toward your goals.
Expertise
I specialize in working with individuals and families struggling with feeding and eating challenges. For some of my clients, that looks like complex restrictive or binge eating coupled with body image concerns. For others, that looks like a fear of eating due to a history of food trauma or highly selective sensory preferences. I work with parents who are struggling to support and feed their child and/or who are interested in creating a positive food culture in the home, decrease conflict at the table, and raise confident, intuitive eaters. I have a unique speciality and extensive training in treating individuals with ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder).
In addition to feeding and eating disorders such as ARFID, Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder, OSFED, and disordered or selective eaters, I also work with a wide range of struggles including:
Body Image
Body Dysmorphia
Self Esteem and Identity Issues
