Emotional eating is more than just a habit. It’s a coping mechanism that often masks deeper emotional challenges like stress, sadness, boredom, or anxiety. If you find yourself turning to food for comfort or relief and feel stuck in cycles of guilt and overeating, Erica Thomas, LMFT, offers specialized coaching for emotional eating in Walnut Creek, California, to help you find a new path forward.

Coaching vs. Traditional Therapy for Emotional Eating

While traditional therapy often focuses on unpacking past trauma or diagnosing mental health conditions, emotional eating coaching centers on actionable, present-focused strategies. Coaching helps you recognize triggers, build healthier coping tools, and develop a compassionate relationship with food and yourself. It’s structured to support behavioral change with practical guidance and personalized support without the need for a formal diagnosis.

The Power of Self-Compassion in Recovery

For many, emotional eating or Binge Eating Disorder is steeped in shame and self-criticism. Erica integrates self-compassion as a cornerstone of her approach to coaching for emotional eating. By learning to treat yourself with kindness rather than judgment, you begin to heal the emotional roots of overeating. This shift reduces the internal pressure and helps you make choices aligned with your well-being, empowering you to break free from cycles of emotional eating and foster long-term change.

Bilingual Support in English and Spanish

Erica proudly offers coaching for emotional eating in both English and Spanish, ensuring inclusive and culturally sensitive coaching for clients from diverse backgrounds. Whether you’re most comfortable expressing yourself in English or Spanish, you’ll receive the same compassionate, expert support tailored to your experience.
