COURTNEY WESTIN - LMFT CEDS-S
License No. LMFT80875
Hello,
My name is Courtney Westin and I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist since 2007. I am passionate about working with clients with eating disorders including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and body image issues. I work from a Dialectical Behavior Therapy or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy orientation. As a clinician, I meet you where you are and work with you towards changing your attitude towards food, body image, and self-concept.
I am a DBT-Linehan Board of Certification, Certified Clinician™.
DBT is an evidenced based treatment which synthesizes cognitive and behavioral therapies. DBT helps adults and adolescents struggling with emotion dysregulation to increase safety, improve mood, and relationships. DBT has been the most rewarding work I have done as therapist. As a client, using DBT has shown to improve your relationship with food and body image. You will learn effective solutions to make a choice between using new tools or acting on your eating disorder.
I am a certified eating disorder specialist and an approved supervisor (CEDS-S) certified by the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals Foundation.
I am always seeking to learn more and be a better therapist which is why I attend consultation with a DBT expert consultant.
