She sees the person as a person-in-context and strives to understand the biological/physical, familial, cultural, social, interpersonal, and intrapersonal influences on the individual and seeks to integrate these perspectives into how the patient comes to know his/herself and to work through the eating disorder.

Dr. D'Agruma treats Anorexia and Bulimia; males and females, children, adolescents and adults.  She also works with Compulsive Exercisers, Food Addiction, Binge Eating Disorder, Obesity, Compulsive Overeating, Night Eating Syndrome, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) and Laxative Abuse.

Website: www.dr-weathers.com

Treatment Model: I use a combination of cognitive/behavioral and Internal Family Systems (IFS) approaches. Cognitive/behavioral approaches focus on understanding the hidden or repetitive thought patterns that may maintain behaviors or suffering. IFS is a gentle exploration of the various parts of oneself that may at times seem unruly, out of character, or may provide motivation for unwanted behaviors. This is a collaborative and non-pathologizing form of therapy in which clients access an innate Self, a core of compassion and leadership qualities. Working from this core of compassion, the client brings balance, acceptance, and healing to parts of himself or herself that may have experienced shame, hurt or overwhelming emotions.

Dr. Weathers treats Anorexia and Bulimia in adult men and women. She also works with Athletes, Compulsive Exercisers, Binge Eating Disorder, Obesity, Night Eating Syndrome, Compulsive Overeating and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

Eating disorder treatment for adults and adolescents struggling with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or non-specified eating disorders such as binge eating disorder, night eating syndrome, emotional eating or orthorexia. I also offer nutrition coaching for weight management, obesity, pre- and post bariatric surgery, as well as coaching for individuals with complicated medical or psychiatric histories. Related approaches are used for treating type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and metabolic syndrome.

Treatment Model: Nutrition coaching incorporates a thorough nutrition assessment which encompasses the client's personal goals, motivations and strengths, as well as their medical and psychosocial histories. The assessment is critical to the development of an individualized training program aimed at effecting lasting behavioral change. Improving nutrition is more than understanding food sources of critical nutrients. Developing a nutrition blueprint that reflects personal biochemical and physical characteristics gets at the essence of nutrigenomics, the study of how food and diet interact with specific genes to increase or decrease the risk of certain diseases. Nutrition therapy and coaching combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approaches applied to nutrition behavior as well as mindfulness practices which increase awareness and facilitate behavior change over time.

In treating individuals with eating disorders and eating addictions, I have witnessed the vicious cycle of out-of-control eating followed by shame and self-criticism. Of course the destructive eating patterns have little to do with food itself; the diet-based treatments that largely prevail in conventional wisdom often create or exacerbate disordered eating. Rather, gradual introduction to personal acceptance and permission to savor "forbidden" foods in a controlled environment lays the foundation for the change necessary to achieve lasting health and wellness.

I serve as the eating disorders resource professional for the Behavioral Health Nutrition (BHN) practice group of the American Dietetic Association.

I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (usually including homework or areas to think about in between our meetings), and Relational, Interpersonal Therapy. In many situations I prefer to include a nutritionist and a physician on the team. Having worked with many wonderful people over many years, I am very conscious of the fact that each person brings a different need, and each benefits from a little different style. I will always collaborate with you to determine the best way for us to work together.
