Your Path to Wellness with Kasey Rissman
Welcome to Kasey Rissman Counseling
Specialized Eating Disorder Services
In my practice, I specialize in utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) techniques to support clients with eating disorders. Through a compassionate and client-centered approach, I help individuals navigate their challenges with food and body image. By integrating EMDR to address past traumas and DBT to develop skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, I empower clients to cultivate a healthier relationship with food and their bodies. My focus is on guiding individuals towards self-acceptance and embracing their true selves.
Roughly 30 million Americans will have an eating disorder in their lifetime. Eating Disorders are a mental health condition that spans across all communities, populations, age groups, and ethnicities. Eating Disorders can be diagnosed as Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Binge Eating Disorder. Many risk factors include: genetics, environment, poor self-esteem, poor body image, family history of substance use and/ or mental illness, and family emphasis on dieting or body image.
Don't hesitate to get in touch with Kasey Rissman to learn more about the causes and treatment. We can build a healthy and responsible relationship with food and our bodies.
Kasey specializes in Eating Disorders. She is a certified Yoga Instructor with an emphasis on ED support.
Overcoming Emotional Challenges
Kasey helps clients overcome the fear and anxiety of expressing emotions, talking about how they feel, learning about their past, and allowing themselves to be grounded in the present.
We can overeat or undereat when experiencing and expressing emotions. Many people talk about the word "control." Feeling "in control," feeling "out of control," going on a diet, or going off a diet. Learning how to communicate our feelings, feel our emotions, and validate. Kasey's approach fosters a safe and supportive environment for healing.
Benefits of Counseling

A combination of EMDR, DBT, and other modalities can assist with reducing and eliminating symptoms of excessive worry, rapid breathing, sweating, and feeling tired during the day, not able to sleep at night, depression, and difficulty concentrating. Fear, judgment, and excessive loneliness are approached with radical acceptance, mindfulness, trauma support, and a reduction of cognitive distortions.
