Hi, I'm Kristie Dilaura

I support individuals navigating the complex emotions tied to weight, food, and body image, offering compassionate, evidence-based counseling to help you build a more peaceful and empowered relationship with yourself.

Does thinking about your health and weight take large amounts of your time and energy? Are you struggling to find peace in your relationship with food and your body? Do you struggle to cope with emotions without turning to food? If any of these questions resonate with you, I would love to come alongside you on this journey. Bariatric surgery, medical programs and GLP1 medications are tools, but they do not do the mindset work for you. I would love to support and to equip you with the education and coping techniques that you need to discover more peace with food and your body.

I have been a social worker for over 25 years, working in a variety of settings including infant mental health, oncology and bariatrics/obesity medicine. For the past 19 years, I have had the privilege of learning from individuals affected by the disease of obesity while leading support groups, providing one on one sessions and conducting assessments. 

I am passionate about offering supportive counseling, recognizing and building on strengths, and using DBT and CBT tools to fight the stigma and shame that often accompanies struggles with weight, binging and disordered eating. If you are desiring to have a healthier relationship with your emotions, body, and food, I would love to hear from you.
