I specialize in treating individuals with eating disorders, body image issues as well as PTSD and trauma. I use a combination of somatic ( body based techniques) and IFS (parts work) to empower my clients to break free from barriers holding them back. Together, we can address your stuck parts and habits and work to release past pain and hurts to cultivate enduring positive change. My approach allows you to learn skills and connect with your own inner wisdom. By gaining new insights and enhancing self-care practices, we'll guide you towards embracing your fullest self.

My name is Ada Karlstrand, and I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, trauma and food and body image issues. Using evidence based practices, we can work together to define and build the kind of life you want to live. Let me help you find your footing.

There is no one size fits all approach to mental health, so I use different modalities, depending on what we collaboratively decide will serve you best. I will help you make an informed decision about what approach may work best for your concerns.

Types of Therapy

Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Poly Vagal Informed Therapy
Somatic
Trauma Focused

I offer a combination of Internal Family Systems therapy and Somatic ( Body based) approaches. This means we will frequently be checking inside, and noticing what is going on for you, both physically as well as emotionally. We will also be exploring different parts of yourself, some of which, you may have never had a chance to get to know before!
