Eating Concerns & Embodiment Consultation & Supervision Group

Consultation and Supervision group focused on addressing disordered eating and embodiment from a trauma-informed, somatically-integrated, relationally-oriented lens

This consultation and supervision group offers a supportive, collaborative space for clinicians working with eating concerns and embodiment. Grounded in trauma-informed, somatic, and weight-inclusive care, the group blends case consultation with conversations about attachment, trauma, shame resilience, family dynamics, neurodiversity, and working with LGBTQIA+ clients. You’ll deepen your skill in embodied approaches—including parts work, polyvagal-informed practices, and sensory-aware interventions—while exploring the impact of culture, systems, and identity on clients’ relationships with food and body. Designed to nourish both your clinical work and your own inner development as a practitioner, this group helps you refine your therapeutic voice and offer care that is attuned, grounded, and socially conscious.

This group is facilitated by Reclaiming Beauty founder Heidi Andersen, LCMHC-S, an integrative, body-centered psychotherapist and Certified Body Trust Specialist with 20 years experience drawing from Embodied Recovery for Eating Disorders, IFS, Safe and Sound Protocol, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Polyvagal Informed Therapy, Expressive Arts Therapy, Music Therapy, Trauma-Informed Yoga, and Embodiment Coaching.
