Find a therapist that can help with Anorexia

Anorexia nervosa, often referred to simply as anorexia, is an eating disorder characterized by food restriction, fear of gaining weight, low weight, and a strong desire to be thin. Many people with anorexia have a distorted body image, seeing themselves as overweight even though they are, in reality, underweight. The physical signs of anorexia are related to starvation and sometimes also excessive exercise, misusing laxatives, diet aids, etc.

About It's Complicated

In 2019, two therapists set out to tackle a complicated problem.

The psychiatrist Carl Jung once wrote that, “Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble”. One does not have to be a therapist, though, to realize that life is complicated. But finding the right therapist, who you can build a strong relationship with, shouldn’t have to be. This is the founding principle of It’s Complicated.Since our start, we've helped over 23,000 clients and counting, offering thousands of free crisis support hours, and built thriving therapy communities in Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Munich, and Athens.
