What I Do and What Makes It Different
I’m not a clinician. I’m a trusted consultant who works alongside families to decode the treatment world and recommend care that truly fits.
I’ve spent the last decade helping parents, siblings, and loved ones find the right next step whether that’s outpatient therapy, residential care, or a full recovery plan across providers.
This isn’t a referral mill. It’s a relationship.
How I Help
Every family’s path to recovery looks different. That’s why I don’t offer a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I help you clarify what level of care is right for your situation, and then I walk you through the steps to get there.
Here’s what you can expect when working with me:

Whether you’re brand new to this or deep in the weeds, we’ll move forward together.

The BookRobyn Cruze teamed up with therapist and friend Espra Andrus to provide expert guidance for those seeking eating disorder recovery, their loved ones, and treatment professionals.
This revised edition offers new insights and stories, updated approaches to nutrition, and answers to such pressing questions within the eating disorder community as: Does the word "recovered" have a place in the recovery process? What about notions of "good," "bad," "health," and "unhealthy" foods? How does soothing the self rather than fighting the eating disorder fit into recovery? Making Peace with Your Plate helps unshackle us from our fears, anxiety, and the need to control by providing proven strategies for recovery and taking back our power from the illness. |
