About

My name is Stefanie Lawson! I’m a size-inclusive, Health at Every Size (HAES) aligned, licensed therapist in Greensboro North Carolina with over 7 years of clinical expertise. I help my clients to recover from disordered eating, like uncontrollable emotional eating, recover from under-eating, as well as, heal from body image dissatisfaction that stems from underlying depression, anxiety, stress, or past traumatic experiences. Like you, I’ve struggled with the pain related to uncontrollable binge eating, as well as, the harm of not eating enough due to fad dieting, that included fasting and starving myself for days on end! Not cool! I’ve suffered through periods of not loving my body. I’ve also experienced anxiety and depression that have led me to use ineffective coping strategies, such as using food as a means of self soothing and managing my own painful emotions. Today, I know how to address the underlying causes of my once unhealthy relationship with food by first, being kind and compassionate to myself and learning how to reconnect with my mind and my body in a holistic way through incorporating practices like gentle body movement, poly-vagal techniques and intuitive eating. I’ve learned how to address distorted thoughts and unhelpful behaviors that impact my relationship with my body and with food head on! Because I’ve been there before, I know that change is possible, and I’m excited to help you to do the same! I truly enjoy working with clients from all backgrounds and walks of life; However, as someone who identifies as a woman of color, I am also extremely passionate about working with other Black and Indigenous women of color, as well as people from disenfranchised and marginalized populations!
