Eating Disorder Consultations for Families and Coaches

Physical therapists, physicians, dietitians, coaches, trainers and, of course, family members are often the first ones to notice something is not quite right. Chronic injuries or loss of energy. Suspicious comments about one’s body weight or shape. Certain behaviors while eating or after eating that seem odd. Excessive weighing or body checking. Going well beyond what is required for physical training or practice. Rigid thinking about refueling needs. These can all be red flags that something more serious may be going on.

Brad has been an executive director of two different eating disorder treatment centers. Prior to launching Austin Sports Behavioral Health, he opened a therapy and supervision practice with a focus on treating eating disorders and body image issues and training post-graduates to work with these clinical concerns. Brad brings to the consulting process over two decades of experience providing eating disorder therapy to individuals, groups, families and couples in outpatient, partial hospitalization and residential levels of care. He also understands the unique culture of sports and how it impacts eating and body image. Brad has treated eating disorders in male and female athletes of all ages, from grade school to college to professional. His goal is to ensure that the athlete or performer struggling with an eating disorder and body image issues receives the care they need so they can return to their sport or activity stronger, more focused, and with a healthier relationship to food.

The fee for a consultation is $275/hour.
