Welcome to Hart Foundation Inc.
At Hart Foundation, we provide compassionate outpatient psychological care in a supportive and affirming environment. We specialize in gender- and weight-inclusive services, specifically designed for individuals navigating disordered eating, body dysphoria, body esteem, anxiety, mood and self esteem challenges. Our goal is to help you feel understood, develop effective coping skills, and foster a healthier relationship with food, your body, and yourself.
We recognize the unique challenges that come with adolescence and early adulthood. Our practice is dedicated to supporting teens and emerging adults, as well as their families, through these formative years.
We can help with concerns such as:
• Anxiety, stress, and burnout
• Disordered eating and body image struggles
• Trauma, grief, and loss
• Relationship, peer, and family challenges
• Life transitions, identity exploration, and struggles with self-esteem and self-worth
• Physical health issues and sports-related injuries
• Depression and mood fluctuations
Our collaborative, team-based approach ensures that your care is practical and tailored to your everyday life. With your consent, we work alongside medical providers, social workers, dietitians, and, when appropriate, academic or athletic staff to coordinate your treatment plan.
Our evidence-based treatment approaches include:
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Mindfulness-based therapies
• Family-Based Treatment (FBT), including the Maudsley Method
• Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Interpersonal therapies
These evidence-based techniques are designed to help you gain insight into yourself, manage challenging thoughts and feelings, build resilience, and work towards a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
At Hart Foundation, we are committed to providing compassionate, client-centered care that supports your long-term mental wellness. Dr. Hart will collaborate with you to clarify your goals, develop effective coping strategies, and encourage your growth on this journey.
