Eating Disorder Therapy in Holly Springs, NC

If you’ve ever felt like your relationship with food, your body, or movement is exhausting, that you are stuck in a cycle of rules, guilt, or constant self-criticism—you’re not alone. Eating disorders aren’t really about food or exercise. They’re often about the pain underneath: the perfectionism, the nervous system that never quite settles, the old survival strategies that once kept you safe but now keep you stuck.

At Solace Therapeutic Services, we see the whole picture—not just the symptoms. We offer specialized therapy for eating disorders that blends CBT-E (Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), somatic work, trauma-informed care, and, when helpful, family therapy. Because we know these struggles rarely happen in isolation—they affect (and are affected by) the people closest to you.

We help you find your way back to a safe, connected relationship with your body, food, and movement—one that isn’t ruled by guilt, fear, or rigid rules.

We Help With:

• Binge eating, emotional eating, and restrictive patterns
• Compulsive or punishing exercise
• Anxiety or guilt when not working out
• Body dysmorphia, body shame, and fear of weight gain
• Orthorexia and obsession with “clean” or “perfectly healthy” eating
• Trauma and nervous system dysregulation driving disordered behaviors
• Burnout from long-term recovery cycles or relapse prevention

Your worth isn’t measured by how far along you are in recovery. You’re welcome here, exactly as you are.

Our Approach to Recovery

We go beyond symptom management to help you heal the roots of your struggle—emotionally, physically, and relationally.

Our therapy may include:

Somatic Therapy – to regulate your nervous system, help you feel safe in your body, and reduce the urge to disconnect through food or movement.

CBT-E – a proven, highly effective approach for understanding and changing the patterns that keep disordered eating in place.

Trauma-Informed Care – because eating disorders often begin as coping mechanisms for deeper wounds.

Family Therapy – when appropriate, to support communication, understanding, and healing within the relationships that matter most.

Movement Relationship Repair – to shift from compulsive, punishing exercise toward movement rooted in safety and self-respect.

Mind-Body Integration – relearning body cues, trusting rest, and rediscovering joy in movement—without pressure or fear.

If You Struggle With Movement Like:

• Feeling anxious or “lazy” on rest days
• Using exercise to “earn” food or punish yourself
• Only doing high-intensity workouts because slower feels unsafe
• Forgetting how to move for joy instead of control

…we can help you create a relationship with movement that’s based on trust and safety—not shame.

What to Expect

We’ll start with a free 15-minute consultation so you can get a feel for us, ask questions, and see if this is the right fit. From there, we’ll create a personalized plan together, which may include:

• Weekly individual therapy
• Somatic and nervous system regulation tools
• Family therapy sessions
• Collaboration with dietitians or medical providers
• In-person sessions at our Holly Springs, NC office or virtual therapy for anyone in North Carolina

We are out-of-network but provide superbills if you’d like to submit for insurance reimbursement.

You don’t have to live in survival mode around food, movement, or your body. Recovery is possible and it starts by feeling safe, seen, and supported. That’s what we offer here at Solace.
