Katie Mauro,

Therapist and Eating Disorders Program Director

Hi! I am Katie Mauro (she/they), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). 

Who I Counsel

I am a specialized eating disorder therapist who works with teens (16+), young adults, and adults who are struggling with body image, disordered eating, anxiety, and chronic overthinking. I have clinical expertise in treating eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and other disordered eating patterns.

My Background

I bring over 10 years of experience as a licensed therapist, with the past 8 years focused specifically on eating disorder treatment. I have worked across the full continuum of care, including residential treatment, partial hospitalization programs (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), outpatient therapy, and comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) programs. This depth of experience allows me to provide individualized, level-appropriate care tailored to your needs.

Therapeutic Approach

I practice from an intersectional and trauma-informed lens, incorporating awareness of how identity factors—including race, gender, sexual orientation, body size, and socioeconomic status—impact mental health, body image, and access to care.

My clients are often insightful and self-aware but feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, perfectionism, and emotional overwhelm. In therapy, I help clients build emotional regulation skills, improve self-awareness, and develop a more compassionate and sustainable relationship with their body and themselves.

Body Trust Certified

I am a Body Trust Certified therapist. who incorporates a body trust and Health at Every Size® (HAES)-aligned approach. This work challenges diet culture and supports healing your relationship with food, weight, and your body through a compassionate, social justice-oriented, and trauma-informed framework.

Non-Monogamy

I work with individuals navigating consensual non-monogamy and relationship diversity, supporting clients in developing communication skills, setting boundaries, navigating jealousy, and strengthening relationship dynamics.

LGBTQIA+ Affirming Care

I provide LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy and create a safe, inclusive space for clients of all sexual orientations and gender identities. Your identity and lived experience are respected and integrated into our work together.

What to Expect in Therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, humorous, and direct. I integrate evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with an individualized, body-trusting approach. Our sessions will be a space for honesty, growth, and humor, where you feel both supported and gently challenged.

If you are looking for therapy for eating disorders, body image concerns, anxiety, or relationship challenges—and are ready to feel more present, connected, and grounded—you don’t have to do it alone. I’d love to support you in your healing process.
