In this episode, I am joined by Jess Sprengle, a Licensed Professional Counselor in both Texas and New Jersey specializing in the care and treatment of adolescents, young adults, adults, and families impacted by eating disorders, disordered eating, body image disturbances, and adjacent issues. She is a champion of freedom, justice, and liberation for all people and all bodies and practices from an intersectional, social justice-aligned lens. Jess considers herself to be a “radically genuine” therapist and seeks to embody authenticity and “humanness” with clients. She brings this ferocity to the social media world through her Instagram and Twitter account.

Join us for a conversation about reciprocal openness in therapy (especially for adolescents and others in their formative years), the harm of fear-driven messages, the danger of waiting for “rock bottom” before beginning the recovery process, comparing eating disorders to a rigged game of chess, eating disorders as a social justice issue, and much more!
