Welcome
I’m Jennifer Beasley, a therapist specializing in eating disorders and neurodivergent-affirming care. I believe therapy should begin with understanding the whole person—not simply identifying symptoms that need to be changed.
My practice is grounded in the belief that neurodivergent individuals deserve care that recognizes who they are while still providing compassionate, evidence-informed treatment for eating disorders, anxiety, and the challenges that can accompany them. For autistic clients especially, I believe it is essential to understand the difference between an autistic need or preference, an eating-disorder behavior, and an anxiety or OCD-driven pattern. Sometimes these experiences overlap, and thoughtful assessment is necessary to understand what is really happening beneath the behavior.
I also recognize that traditional approaches to eating-disorder recovery do not always translate easily for autistic clients. Concepts such as flexibility, intuitive eating, body trust, and food freedom can feel vague or overwhelming when someone relies on structure, predictability, and concrete information to feel safe. Therapy should not ask a person to abandon their autistic self in order to recover.
Instead, we can work together to understand your individual needs, identify what is keeping you stuck, and build meaningful change in a way that respects your neurotype.
My goal is to create a space where you can move from feeling misunderstood or overwhelmed to feeling seen, understood, and equipped with tools that actually fit the way your brain works.
Whether you are navigating an eating disorder, exploring the intersection of autism and eating, or trying to better understand yourself after years of masking and adapting, you do not have to figure it out alone.
You don’t need to become someone else to heal. You deserve care that helps you become more fully yourself.
