Hello! I’m Chelsea Fomin, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT#142757) in Los Angeles, specializing in eating disorders. My extensive experience working in higher levels of care for eating disorders has given me a deep understanding of the challenges individuals face, and I am committed to supporting you on your journey toward healing.

Clients often describe me as warm, empathetic, and appropriately challenging. I believe that true growth comes from a balance of compassion and thoughtful challenge, and I strive to offer both in our work together. My approach is grounded in a combination of evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and psychodynamic approaches. This eclectic mix allows me to tailor our sessions to your unique needs, addressing both present challenges and deeper underlying issues.

A core value in my practice is body liberation—the belief that everyone deserves to live free from the oppressive standards that dictate how bodies should look, feel, and function. I am passionate about helping you break free from these societal pressures and find peace and acceptance in your body as it is right now.

Equally important in my work is the value of embodiment. I believe that healing begins when we reconnect with our bodies and learn to trust the signals they send us. Together, we will explore ways to cultivate a deeper sense of embodiment, so you can feel more grounded, present, and in tune with yourself.

Understanding that healing doesn’t happen in isolation, I take a systems approach to therapy, recognizing the broader context of your life and the systems that may create barriers to your well-being. Whether it’s societal pressures, family dynamics, or other external factors, I work with you to navigate these challenges with greater clarity and resilience.

Collaboration is key to comprehensive healing, and I value working closely with other providers to ensure that your care is thorough and cohesive. By integrating support from nutritionists, medical professionals, and other specialists, we can create a strong network that supports your overall well-being.

Above all, I’m here to support you on your journey with a blend of empathy, warmth, and the right amount of challenge to help you grow. Together, we’ll work to foster resilience, self-compassion, and a deeper understanding of yourself, empowering you to lead a more fulfilling and balanced life.
