Eating Disorders and Trauma Therapy in Dallas
Healing the Past While Reclaiming the Present
Hello, my name is Angela Harris.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist Consultant, and I treat eating disorders, trauma, OCD and dissociative disorders. My office is in Dallas, at Hillcrest and 635, and I'm licensed to see clients across Texas and Oklahoma, in person or by telehealth. I work with adults and with teenagers from 14 up.

Eating Disorder Therapy
Most people who come to me are having a hard time with food, exercise or their body. I treat anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, orthorexia, ARFID, OSFED, disordered eating, compulsive exercise and body image concerns. Some people arrive knowing exactly what they are dealing with. Others just know that something around eating has taken up more room in their life than they want it to. Either way is a fine place to start.

EMDR
I also work with what often sits underneath. I use EMDR for PTSD and trauma, and I'm an EMDR Consultant in Training. I see adult survivors of childhood abuse, adult children of emotionally immature parents, people working through codependency, and people who struggle with self harm.
EMDR therapy is an evidence-based approach for PTSD. I approach treating trauma by asking “what happened to you?” instead of “what’s wrong with you?” Each of us have experiences that shaped us, some for better or for worse. I’m here to support you in working through those experiences and EMDR is one of my strongest tools in my toolbox for trauma recovery.
Therapy for Dissociative Disorders
Dissociative disorders are a particular focus, including dissociative identity disorder and OSDD. I treat each client as a system in which all parts of self are honored and invited into the healing process.

Treatment for OCD
And I treat OCD, which for most of my clients looks like intrusive thoughts they did not ask for, the distress that follows, and the things they do to get relief.
Training and Consultation for Therapists
If you are a therapist rather than someone looking for a therapist, I work with clinicians too. EMDR consultation toward certification, CEDS consultation for providers of any discipline, continuing education, and speaking and training for teams.
