Erin Paima
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
Rocklin, CA 95765
I have 14 years of experience in the treatment of eating disorders and co-occurring mood disorders, body dysmorphia, trauma, self-harm, women’s issues and intimate partner betrayal.
If you’ve ever felt that no matter how hard you try it is NEVER enough, if your obsession with weight and food have begun to control YOU, if you are weary under the weight of your own inner critic or haunted by the memories in your head and feel there is no one you can trust or with whom you could risk sharing the reality in your head, I am here to help. I know what it feels like to be in your shoes. I know that you likely can’t even conceive of another, freer way of living. But I am certain of this- true recovery is attainable, not just for some of us, for all of us. It IS hard work. And it’s infinitely worth it.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, body image, or disordered eating.
I pride myself on my ability to develop a strong rapport with my clients. As a person I value connection and this extends to my work as a therapist. While it is my job to provide skills and feedback, I also want to get to know my clients for the people that they are. A person-centered approach helps me do this. I give clients the space to tell their stories and be themselves. I'm empathetic and compassionate. I am validating, and I'm also direct and straight forward. I follow up on goals set to see if there has been progress or if they need to be changed or modified in any way.

My goal is to help you develop increased awareness, insight, and coping skills, so you may experience greater joy within yourself and relationships.

A lot of people come to therapy feeling stuck. It is normal to carry pain from past experiences, struggle with self-doubt, or feel disconnected from oursleves and the life we want to live. Sometimes you know something needs to change, but it’s hard to know where to begin. I love working with people who want to better understand themselves, look at patterns, and figure out what meaningful change really looks like. I believe it makes a difference to have someone truly in your corner. Someone who can support you while you carve out your trail. I feel honored to be that person for my clients.

I view therapeutic work as an invitation to turn towards the areas of our lives that are calling to us for some attention. Sometimes this means the challenging, confusing, painful, and mysterious parts of life. Other times it may mean exploring our connection to sense of self, our desires, creativity, and vitality. Therapy helps us to consider where we would like to grow, change, and heal - within a safe-enough space based in curiosity and connection. I take the whole person's lived context into consideration, including social, cultural, economic, and systemic forces that influence our sense of wellbeing.

I promote growth and healing through compassionate insight, reflection and strategic direction! Acquired Knowledge seems most beneficial when put to use to benefit ourselves or others, for as we serve and engage with others, we more readily discover our true selves. I subscribe to Emerson's notion; "Do the thing, and you will have the power" rather than give me the power and then I will act! I enjoy being a contributing factor to others growth and advancement and relish witnessing the blossoming of added confidence, enhanced self-esteem. and true growth!

Eating Disorders Therapists
What happens in therapy for eating disorders?
In therapy for eating disorders, patients typically describe their eating and exercise behaviors, their patterns of eating in relation to stress, their beliefs about their body, the ways their eating behavior affects their relationships, and their desire (or lack of it) to change. Such information helps the therapist understand the origins of the disorder and the role it plays in the patient’s life, important for guiding treatment. Attitudes and feelings about food and eating, body weight, and physical appearance are common topics of discussion throughout treatment.

What therapy types help with eating disorders?
Once any acute medical or psychiatric emergency is resolved, psychoactive medication is often prescribed, requiring the supervision of a psychiatrist. In addition, patients receive some form of nutritional counseling along with one or more forms of psychotherapy. For adolescents, family-based treatment is empirically validated and considered the first line of treatment; parents and their children meet weekly with a clinician as the adults are coached on how to nourish and psychologically support the young patient. Adults typically receive some form of individual psychotherapy, intended to resolve the cognitive and behavioral disturbances that underlie the disorder and to relieve the mood disturbances that accompany it. In addition, patients may also be helped by group therapy.

What is the goal of therapy for eating disorders?
The most immediate goal of treatment for eating disorders is to save the life of people who are on a path of starving themselves to death or engaging in eating patterns that are doing irreparable physical harm to their body. Once the acute medical danger is past, therapy is required to understand the nature of the disordered eating and/or exercise patterns, establish healthy eating behavior, and to tackle the many erroneous beliefs and distorted self-perceptions that underlie eating disorders and continue to pose a threat to health and life. Therapy also addresses the impaired mood that not only accompanies eating disorders but intensifies the danger to health and life.

What are the limitations of therapy for eating disorders?
Therapy can be very helpful for eating disorders—but that can happen only after people recognize they have a condition that must be treated. Especially with anorexia, the distortions in self-image that accompany the disorder can keep people from acknowledging they have a problem. Individuals may in fact see their eating disorder as a badge of self-control. Those with binge-eating disorder may feel too ashamed to seek help. Therapy cannot help those who do not avail themselves of it.

How long does therapy last for eating disorders?
Because of their complexity, recovery from eating disorders is usually a long-term process—measured in months and years— often marked by setbacks and relapse. Some form of help, such as individual or group therapy, may be advisable for much of that time. It is a general rule of thumb that the longer the illness has endured and the dysregulated eating behavior has taken root, the longer treatment is likely to be needed.
