I also work with Eating Disorders and Food Addictions to create a positive relationship with food.
Daily stressors are inevitable, and it is essential to build coping strategies for how to manage stress and combat negative thinking patterns. Creating behavior changes is a focal point of psychotherapy and beneficial in wanting a sense of structure and consistency in one's relationships and daily life. My overall goal for each client is to work on obtaining balance within their own healthy lifestyle. Through obtaining balance one's past and present symptoms can lessen and each individual and/or couple can focus on the positive attributes of their life and move forward towards reaching their goals and the life worth living.

I completed my predoctoral internship at Wake Forest University, working on the Eating Disorders Assessment and Treatment Team.
Hello there! My name is Dr. Austin Aibel. I am a licensed clinical psychologist and I specialize in eating disorders and body image issues. I have also done a lot of work with folks struggling with trauma, OCD, chronic illness/complex medical conditions, and identity concerns. I often work with individuals in their teens, twenties, and thirties (but love working with people across the age spectrum). I am passionate about this work and this shows in sessions. I am not a "smile and nod therapist"- Clients have described me as interactive, genuine, and energetic.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by addiction, eating disorders, or trauma? Like Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh, does life often seem grey and dreary? Many of us find ways to cope with pain and trauma, sometimes turning to risky behaviors such as substance abuse or over or underusing processes such as food as an escape. Amid this chaos, thriving seems impossible, and survival becomes the goal. Perhaps you're struggling with a sense of loneliness and isolation, or your relationships are suffering. The weight of these issues can feel unbearable, and it might seem like there's no way out. But there is hope.

Eating Disorders – Do you know someone or are you someone who has an unhealthy relationship with food? Perinatal Concerns – Whether preconception, pregnancy, infertility, miscarriage, or postpartum; your maternal moments matter.
If you are reading this, you have already taken the first step. How are you feeling? Nervous, relieved, excited, anxious, helpless, overwhelmed, indifferent, eager, all the above?

Although you may be feeling both undesirable and desirable emotions at this moment, I consider you here as an act of bravery, and I admire your willingness to move toward this 2.0 version of yourself.

I currently have the privilege of being the Executive Clinical Director and co-founder of Skyway Behavioral Health, a Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient behavioral health center targeting complex trauma, PTSD, mood, anxiety, and eating disorders as well as co-occurring personality disorders.
Many people come to me saying that they don't recognize themselves anymore or that they are not living the life they want to be living. They might feel plagued with negative thoughts, fear, anxiety and overall feel stuck because the things they were using to cope in the past are not helping them now. If you have been feeling this way, you are not alone! I have spent my career working in clinical leadership and providing care for clients struggling with eating disorders, PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, depression & body image concerns. I believe in providing empathy + evidenced-based treatments and the power of healing in community.

My goal as a clinician is to create a safe and nurturing space where clients can openly share their story, struggles, and goals.
