Why this page exists
We will not turn the session into a weigh-in theater. We treat the thoughts under the behaviors, and we collaborate with medical and nutrition partners when a team is needed.
Recovery from an eating disorder is a journey of reclaiming your relationship with food, your body, and yourself. Therapy supports New Albany locals through every step with compassion and expertise.
Recovery is rarely linear. You deserve support that understands that — licensed Indiana clinicians, paced work, no positivity script.
The hardest part is often just deciding to start. If you are ready, a licensed Indiana clinician is ready too — offering eating disorder recovery by secure video to New Albany locals who want real change without the logistics of an in-office visit.
Here is the local load, named without a brochure: New Albany’s river-city identity inside the Louisville metro. The old in-office version meant Sherman Minton Bridge delay into Louisville. Eating Disorder Recovery does not erase that — it gives New Albany locals a licensed place to stop carrying it alone.
Whether you have been searching for eating disorder therapy, post eating disorder therapy, or eating disorder counseling in New Albany, you are in the right place — it is all part of the eating disorder recovery care we provide to Indiana residents.
Let's look at how that plays out.
From New Albany to Every Corner of Floyd County
Our Indiana clinicians understand the rhythm of life here. River-city families and Louisville-metro households on the Indiana side.
From Ohio riverfront to the neighborhoods you call home, New Albany locals can connect with a licensed therapist without crossing town. We proudly serve New Albany locals across Downtown, Midtown, Mansion Row, Silver Hills, and beyond.
No matter which part of New Albany you call home, the same standard of care follows you.
So what does getting help actually involve?
When It Feels Like Too Much
Before anything changes, it helps to name what you are carrying. For many New Albany locals, it sounds something like this:
Food has become the enemy?
Every meal is a negotiation. Every mirror is a battlefield. What started as "healthy habits" has consumed your life—and you want out.
Let's look at how that plays out.
Why Telehealth Delivers Real Results
Whether you came looking for eating disorder therapy or the most experienced post eating disorder therapy near New Albany, you will find clinicians who bring genuine depth and Indiana licensure to the work.
Results come from relationship plus method. We pair proven clinical techniques with clinicians who actually connect with their clients, because the bond between you and your therapist is one of the strongest predictors of success.
We measure success the way you do: by how you feel and function in your daily life. Your clinician revisits your goals throughout care to make sure the work is genuinely moving the needle.
There is a clear path forward from here.
Why Telehealth Eating Disorder Recovery Fits New Albany Life
The best therapy is the therapy you actually attend. By meeting you where you are, online eating disorder recovery in New Albany removes the friction that causes so many people to cancel, delay, or never start.
Some people worry that video sessions feel less personal. In practice, most New Albany locals find the opposite — being in their own space helps them open up faster and feel more at ease.
In-office visits ask you to rearrange your life around an appointment. Telehealth eating disorder recovery does the opposite — it fits into the life you already have. The therapeutic relationship is just as real; only the commute disappears.
There is a clear path forward from here.
Credentials That Actually Matter
Indiana-licensed clinicians may provide telehealth to clients who are physically located in Indiana during the session. That is the legal line — not a slogan. Empower You Experts will not see you for eating disorder recovery unless you are physically in Indiana during the session.
Dr. Lisa Lavella, PsyD, BC-TMH (Arizona and Illinois) and Christina Liakopoulos, LCSW, BC-TMH (Arizona, Illinois, and Indiana) are named clinicians, not a rotating intern pool. Credentials are on the about pages. We do not invent board affiliations.
Here's what that looks like in practice.
How We Actually Practice Eating Disorder Recovery
Cognitive and emotion work under the behaviors — not a weigh-in theater.
Collaboration with medical and nutrition partners when a team is needed.
Licensure is the floor. You must be physically in Indiana during the session. We will not pretend a video call erases a state line.
Between sessions, you leave with something small enough to actually do. The work is supposed to live in New Albany, not only inside a 50-minute window.
Who this is for
New Albany locals ready to step out of the food-and-body war, including people who have been told they are “not sick enough.”
But understanding the problem is only half of it.

Eating Disorder Recovery in New Albany: Common Questions
Do you work with a medical team for eating disorder recovery?
When recovery needs a team, we work as part of one — physician, dietitian, higher level of care — rather than pretending weekly video is always enough. Eating disorder work in New Albany is collaborative and paced. We address the thoughts and emotions under the behaviors without turning the session into a weigh-in. If you need more support than outpatient telehealth can safely provide, we will say so. Shame keeps people out of care; we will not add to it.
Do you have a therapy office in New Albany?
Our home office is real: 20715 North Pima Road, Suite 108, Scottsdale, Arizona 85255. We do not invent a storefront in every city on this site. Eating Disorder Recovery for New Albany residents is licensed Indiana telehealth — you meet by secure video while you are physically in Indiana. That is a service-area practice, not a fake local clinic. If you need the address for records or a map pin, it is North Scottsdale. It is not a New Albany waiting room we pretended to open so a page would rank. The clinician is named. The license is the state you sit in during the session.
Are your therapists actually licensed to treat people in Indiana?
Yes. Telehealth is licensed by the state where you are sitting during the session, not by the city on the URL. Dr. Lisa Lavella, PsyD, BC-TMH is licensed in Arizona and Illinois. Christina Liakopoulos, LCSW, BC-TMH is licensed in Arizona, Illinois, and Indiana. If you live in New Albany, you simply need to be physically in Indiana when we meet. We do not “see” clients in states where we are not licensed, and we will not pretend a video call erases that rule. The free consult is also where we confirm fit, timing, and whether self-pay or an accepted plan makes sense for you.
Who would I actually work with for eating disorder recovery?
Dr. Lisa Lavella, PsyD, BC-TMH (Arizona and Illinois) and Christina Liakopoulos, LCSW, BC-TMH (Arizona, Illinois, and Indiana). They are named clinicians with decades of practice — not a matching engine and not a new intern every month. The free consult is how you meet the person, ask about eating disorder recovery, and decide if the fit is right. Credentials live on the about pages. We will not hide behind a brand voice when you deserve a human being. If the pairing is wrong, we would rather say so than keep a mismatched hour.
Is online eating disorder recovery in New Albany as real as sitting in an office?
For most of the concerns we treat, the research says yes — outcomes track the relationship and the method, not the waiting room. What changes in New Albany is logistics. You skip the commute, the parking, and the “who saw me walk in” problem. Sessions run on encrypted, HIPAA-compliant video. You still get a named clinician, a plan you both can explain, and homework that lives in your actual week. If video is a poor fit (safety, technology, or preference), we will say so in the consult rather than force a format that does not serve you.
Do you take insurance for eating disorder recovery in Indiana?
We are primarily a cash-pay practice and currently accept some insurance plans. Many clients in New Albany choose self-pay for privacy (sessions do not automatically hit a medical record the way a fully billed insurance episode can) and for simplicity — no surprise denials mid-treatment. We will tell you, before you commit, whether your plan is one we can bill and what a self-pay session costs. We do not advertise “we take everything” because that would be untrue. Call or use the consult form and we will be specific about fee, frequency, and whether a superbill is available. If money is the only barrier, say so in the consult; we would rather have an honest conversation than a bait-and-switch about coverage.
What actually happens in the first eating disorder recovery session?
The first session is an honest conversation, not an interrogation. We cover what brought you in, what you have already tried, how eating disorder recovery has (or has not) helped before, and what “better” would look like in your life in New Albany — sleep, work, relationships, the stuff you can feel. You will leave with a sense of the clinician, the pace, and whether the fit is right. There is no pressure to unload your whole history on day one. If it is not a fit, we would rather help you redirect than keep a mismatched pairing.
If I live in a smaller New Albany community, is this actually private?
Your sessions are protected by law and by ethics, with the usual mandated-reporting exceptions (risk of harm, abuse of a minor or vulnerable adult). Telehealth adds a practical privacy layer a storefront office cannot: nobody in New Albany watches you park at a clinic. You still need a closed door and headphones on your side. We use encrypted video. We will not discuss you in the grocery store, on a sideline, or in a Facebook group. If you share a house or a campus, we will help you plan a setting that is actually private — a parked car with a headset counts.
