Eating Disorder Therapy
Individuals, Couples, & Families
Dr. Ashley Southard
A New Beginning in Scottsdale, AZ
Welcome. The time to heal is now.
As a member of the professional treatment team at A New Beginning, Arizona’s premier outpatient eating disorder clinic, I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families overcome distress caused by eating disorders and wounded relationships. Often, clients with whom I work are quite successful in many areas of their lives but desire a more balanced lifestyle and relationship with food, and a greater emotional connection with people they love.
As a marriage and family therapist with specialized training and expertise, I am uniquely skilled in helping clients sort through the following issues:
*Eating Disorders: anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, emotional overeating, poor body image, food rituals, maintaining recovery after in-patient treatment, couples and families in which one person has an eating disorder
*Intimacy & Relationship Difficulties: poor communication, feeling emotionally disconnected, constant conflict, infidelity, low-sex or no-sex relationships, decision to stay together or separate, pre-marital counseling, emotional & physical abuse
*Depression: feeling sad all of the time, lack of interest/desire, constant fatigue and lethargy
*Anxiety: generalized worry, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, separation anxiety, panic
*Trauma: history of emotional, physical, and/or sexual abuse; post-traumatic stress
*Parent-Child Relationships: parenting skills, poor communication, boundaries & discipline, navigating separation and divorce with children
