Elevated Solutions Therapy, Miami
Eating disorders affect far more than how a person eats. They shape self-worth, emotions, relationships, and how someone experiences their body and identity. Recovery requires careful clinical expertise, deep emotional understanding, and a supportive space where clients feel seen rather than judged. Elevated Solutions Therapy is one of the few practices in Miami offering specialized, trauma-informed treatment for eating disorders, led by our founder and clinical supervisor, Kajol Ghotra, LMHC.
Kajol’s approach blends compassion, cultural sensitivity, and evidence-based care to help clients rebuild a healthier relationship with food and themselves. Sessions focus on uncovering the emotional roots of symptoms, developing new coping skills, and supporting long-term recovery in a safe, grounded environment.
Why Professional Eating Disorder Therapy Matters
Eating disorders are not choices, phases, or lifestyle habits. They are complex psychological conditions that often emerge from emotional distress, trauma, perfectionism, family pressures, or deep-rooted beliefs about worth and control. Without professional support, these patterns can escalate, affecting physical health, mood, confidence, and daily functioning.
Therapy creates space for clients to understand the purpose the eating disorder has been serving in their lives, explore underlying emotional pain, and develop healthier ways to feel safe and in control.
Conditions We Treat
Below is an organized overview of the eating and feeding concerns treated at Elevated Solutions Therapy:
| Condition | Description |
| Anorexia Nervosa | Restrictive eating, fear of weight gain, intense body image concerns. |
| Bulimia Nervosa | Cycles of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors such as purging or overexercise. |
| Binge Eating Disorder | Repeated episodes of consuming large amounts of food with feelings of guilt or loss of control. |
| Body Dysmorphia | Persistent preoccupation with perceived flaws in appearance. |
| Emotional Eating Patterns | Eating in response to stress, sadness, loneliness, or overwhelm. |
| Exercise-Driven Eating Struggles | Compulsive workouts tied to guilt, body checking, or fear of weight gain. |
| Culturally Rooted Food Guilt | Eating distress related to cultural expectations, identity, or family pressures. |
Each condition requires a tailored approach to ensure clients receive care that matches their unique emotional and behavioral patterns.
Our Therapeutic Approach
Treatment begins with a detailed assessment that explores developmental history, emotional triggers, family patterns, and the role the eating disorder plays in daily life. Based on this, a personalized treatment plan is created.
Kajol integrates multiple evidence-based therapies to support healing on both emotional and behavioral levels:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Helps clients understand how negative beliefs and thought patterns shape eating behaviors.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Addresses unresolved emotional wounds that may have contributed to the development of the eating disorder.
Mindfulness and Body Awareness Practices
Encourages clients to reconnect with their body in a gentler and more neutral way.
Acceptance-Focused Work
Supports clients who struggle with self-judgment, fear, or internal conflict around food.
Emotion Regulation Skills
Teaches tools for managing overwhelming feelings without turning to harmful coping patterns.
The goal is long-term resilience, not temporary symptom relief.

Frequently Asked Questions About Eating Disorder Therapy
1. How do I know if I or my loved one needs eating disorder therapy?
If concerns about food, weight, or body image are affecting your daily life, emotions, or relationships, therapy can help. Warning signs include restrictive eating, binge episodes, guilt after meals, excessive exercise, or intense anxiety around food. Early support leads to better outcomes.
2. How long does treatment usually take?
There is no fixed timeline. Some clients make significant progress within a few months, while others benefit from longer-term support. The pace depends on the severity of symptoms, emotional history, and the client’s unique goals. Your therapist will adjust the treatment plan as you grow.
3. What happens during the first session?
The first session focuses on understanding your story. Your therapist explores emotional patterns, eating behaviors, past experiences, and current struggles. This helps create a customized treatment plan built around your needs and comfort level.
4. Do you involve family members in therapy?
Yes, when helpful. Family support sessions can teach loved ones how to communicate better, reduce unintentional triggers, and create a healing environment. However, involvement is always based on the client’s comfort and therapeutic goals.
5. Is therapy confidential?
Absolutely. All sessions are confidential unless there is a risk of harm. Your privacy and emotional safety are priorities at Elevated Solutions Therapy.
6. Can therapy help even if the eating disorder has been present for years?
Yes. Many clients begin treatment after years of struggling with diets, guilt, or body anxiety. With the right therapeutic support, emotional healing and recovery are fully possible, regardless of how long symptoms have existed.
7. Do you work with teens, adults, or both?
Our clinicians support both adolescents and adults. Treatment plans and therapeutic tools are tailored to developmental stage, emotional maturity, and family context.
