A message from Eleanor Eng (she/her):

If you're carrying the exhausting burden of an eating disorder alone and you're ready for a space where you don't have to hide any part of it, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.

I'm an associate therapist (APCC #23265) at ED and OCD Therapy. I see clients in person at our San Diego office, as well as virtually throughout California. I understand that therapy is much more than an hour of talking; it is a courageous, vulnerable and deeply personal commitment to understanding your inner world, your patterns and stuck points. I create a warm and judgement free space to explore emotions, unconscious beliefs, behaviors and experiences to promote healing and recovery from eating disorders and/or body image issues.

I aim to understand my client's world through their eyes- not a text book or rigid protocol. Therapy is not prescriptive with me, as each person is unique. I also recognize the impact of cultural, relational and systemic factors on mental health and identity. I help clients explore these aspects of their experience and how they relate to struggles with food and body. My therapeutic approach is grounded in psychodynamic, relational-cultural and mindfulness-based practices, with the goal of fostering greater self awareness, self-trust, resilience and connection within yourself and the relationships important to you that make life meaningful. All of this helps my clients live more freely and authentically, so that the eating disorder is no longer needed as a way to cope.

I have a strong background working with teens and adults with anorexia, bulimia, bingeeating disorder and body image issues across various levels of care. I received my Bachelor's Degree from UC Irvine, and my Master's Degree from Columbia University.

If you're ready to take the first step, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute intro call to see if we're a good fit.
