The Neurodiversity Affirming Eating Disorder Support Group is a virtual group for anyone who identifies as neurodivergent and who is pursuing recovery from an eating disorder or disordered eating. The group centers lived experience, mutual support, and reducing isolation in a nonjudgmental space.

Neurodivergence can include any neurodevelopmental or psychiatric diagnosis or lived experience that differs from what we are taught is the “normal” or “correct” way for a mind or body to function. This may include experiences related to autism, ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, bipolar, trauma, and more.

A formal diagnosis is not required to join this group. What matters most is the shared experience of navigating a world that is often not built for the way our minds and bodies work while also working toward peace with food and our bodies. If you feel that you would benefit from support around that, you are welcome here.

Neurodiversity affirming care holds that there is no single “right” way for a brain to function. Distress is often understood as emerging from the interaction between our neurotypes and environments that are not designed to support them. This approach does not minimize suffering, but works to reduce shame and pathologizing while supporting meaningful relief and care.

This is a support group, not group therapy, and is not a replacement for individual psychotherapy, psychiatric care, or medical treatment. Although I am a licensed therapist, I am hosting this group as a peer support facilitator rather than as a therapist. Participation is voluntary and confidential within the limits of group safety.

The group is on Thursdays at 7pm ET/6pm CT/5pm MT/4pm PT, starting on June 4, 2026. It is open to anyone age 18+ in any state. The fee is $25 per group and can be sent via Paypal to [email protected]. Please contact me at [email protected] if you are in need of a reduced fee.
