Online therapy for women navigating trauma, eating disorders, and borderline personality disorder.

You don’t have to be in crisis for something to feel off. Maybe you’re high-functioning but overwhelmed. Maybe your relationships feel intense or unstable. Maybe food, perfectionism, anxiety, or self-doubt quietly run more of your life than you’d like. From the outside, things might look fine — but internally, it feels heavy.

Trauma and chronic stress don’t just affect what happened to you — they shape how you see yourself, how you relate to others, and how safe the world feels. Over time, those experiences can influence your confidence, boundaries, attachment patterns, and coping behaviors in ways that are hard to untangle alone.

At Therapy by the Bay, we provide structured, evidence-based therapy that is also collaborative and down-to-earth. We help you understand your patterns, develop practical tools, and build a stronger, more stable sense of self. This isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you feel more grounded, more confident in your relationships, and more in control of your choices. Real change is possible — and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Struggles with food and body image often go far beyond “just eating.” Maybe you’re caught in cycles of restricting, bingeing, over-exercising, or constantly negotiating with yourself about what you’re allowed to have. Maybe the voice in your head is relentless — telling you you’re not enough, not disciplined enough, not thin enough. These patterns can feel isolating, consuming, and incredibly hard to break.

At Therapy by the Bay, we work on both the why and the how. We help you build practical skills to manage urges, regulate emotions, and reduce behaviors in the moment — while also addressing the deeper beliefs about worth, control, perfectionism, and identity that fuel the cycle. For clients who need additional structure, we also offer meal support sessions to provide accountability, guidance, and real-time coping skills during challenging meals.

Recovery isn’t about forcing willpower. It’s about understanding what the eating disorder has been trying to solve — and building healthier, more sustainable ways to cope so you can feel more at peace in your body and your life.

You may feel stuck in the same relationship patterns — overgiving, fearing abandonment, avoiding conflict until it explodes, or choosing partners who reinforce old wounds. Even when you want closeness, it can feel difficult to trust, set boundaries, or believe you deserve consistency and respect.

At Therapy by the Bay, we help clients understand how early experiences and attachment patterns shape current relationships. We focus on building practical skills for communication, boundary-setting, and emotional regulation, while also exploring the deeper beliefs that keep painful dynamics repeating. The goal isn’t just insight — it’s change. Together, we work toward relationships that feel safer, more balanced, and more aligned with your values — starting with the relationship you have with yourself.
