Emily and Sarah reflect on their conversation with Gayle Goldstein.

Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

Gayle Goldstein is currently pursing her Masters in Clinical Counseling Psychology and is passionate about working with clients struggling with eating disorders and trauma! Though education and training is an essential part of learning how to be a competent therapist, she fervently believe that her own recovery process is what qualifies her the most. When she struggled with my own eating disorder, she believed that "recovery" was non-existent and hopeless. With time, and a lot of breakdowns, she found her way to a recovery that feels authentic and life-giving. Her hope is to walk alongside clients in their own recovery journeys and help them reclaim their whole selves.

Tess Patterson MS RD LD is a graduate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with her BS in Dietetics and a minor in Psychology, and her MS in Nutrition & Health Sciences with a minor in Educational Psychology. During her undergraduate career, Tess began getting involved with eating disorder education and prevention opportunities around campus and served as part of the student advisory board for the eating disorder awareness group on campus. During this time, Tess also helped volunteer for the Eating Disorder Awareness Week every February from 2012-2019.   

Upon completing her Bachelor's degree, Tess went on to complete her Master's degree where she fostered her education by getting involved in both Psychology and Nutrition Research in adolescents and preschool age children to better understand the intuitive approach to food. Tess went on to complete her Dietetic Internship from Iowa State University in June 2018, where she was given the opportunity to spend extensive time in the IOP treatment facility at Children's Medical Center in Omaha, as well as, spend quality time at a private practice (Sage Nutrition) in Lincoln. Upon completion of her internship and gaining her Registered Dietitian licensure, she was given the opportunity to continue growing her skillset under Sage's leadership, where she led weekly support groups, as well as helped build additional programming at the facility.   

Tess joined the Eating Disorder Solutions Team in Dallas in November 2019, as the primary dietitian at the IOP facility, and has experience working with clients with Bulimia Nervosa (BN), Anorexia Nervosa (AN), Overeating/Binge Eating Disorder (BED), Avoidant Restrictive Eating Disorder (ARFED), Orthorexia Nervosa, and Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS). She built the IOP curriculum there, which focuses on underlying thoughts and beliefs around food and the body, including topics like: Fear Foods, Self-Compassion, Food & Feelings, Accountability, Food Myths, and Challenging/Reframing Thoughts. With Tess' long-standing passion for Eating Disorder Treatment and Care, she is currently pursuing her CEDRD certification thru IAEDP (the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals).   

Tess focuses her work on individualized and specialized treatment as best practice when working with her clients. She incorporates an 'all foods fit' and psychological approach to understand how individuals can help restore positive relationships with food and body image. Tess' goal for all clients she meets with, is that "the changes we foster in sessions are changes that can/should be fostered for the entirety of ones' life".
