I have worked in the mental health field since 2018 in hospitals, schools, private practice, and all levels of eating disorder care. Although I specialize in working with food and body, I love to work with other intersecting concerns like anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, life transitions, and more. I also love working with athletes and students.”

Individual Mentorship Applications Accepted
Mar 20 – Mar 25 all-day

We know you because we’ve been you

Are you seeking support from someone who understands what you are going through?  Through EDF’s mentorship program, we will match you with a mentor who has walked the path and understands the complexity of the recovery journey. This 10-week program will provide one-on-one support during weekly connections.  We strongly believe in the power of connection, meaningful conversations, and creating a community of like-minded individuals – factors we attribute to living a life in/towards recovery. We welcome individuals 16+ from all states in the US. Pairs may meet virtually or in person.

We at EDF are absolutely blown away by the massive interest in our blossoming mentorship program. We have received an unprecedented number of applications from members of the community who want to pursue recovery with us.

Please note that this program has a limited number of available mentors, so there is no guarantee you will be paired.  Mentee applicants not accepted this round may re-apply next quarter. You must be at least 16 years of age and a resident of the United States to apply.

How do I apply? 

Please view application instructions at https://www.eatingdisorderfoundation.org/get-help/request-a-mentor/
