Armed with a velvet blue couch and cupcake pillow, Kate challenges our relationships with food and some widely held beliefs about health. As an LPC certified in Health at Any Size, and Intuitive Eating principles, Kate\u2019s counseling practice focuses on eating disorders and body image. We discuss the importance of being kind to ourselves, and fighting back against the negative messaging from the $70 Billion diet and wellness industry.\xa0

Moving across the southeast and back and forth across America was a significant part of Kate\u2019s childhood. The constant change, and loss of her father, nurtured both a helpful adaptability and coping strategies she's had to unlearn. She began her career as a play therapist with grieving children and two years ago opened her own practice with a focus on eating disorders and body image on Hillsborough St near NC State University. Kate provides a lot of perspective and information for people interested in learning more. And really, who doesn\u2019t have someone in their lives that skips meals, excessively exercises, or thinks losing weight will make them happy? We even play a word association game with common \u201cdiet culture\u201d words near the end. Be kind. Be kind to yourself, and be kind to others.
