Erica Faulhaber, LPC, CEDS
Erie, CO & Telehealth
My name is Erica Faulhaber and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS), Certified EMDR Therapist and EMDR Consultant-In-Training in Erie, Colorado — who helps women struggling with trying to be perfect all the time. I know firsthand what it is like to have unhealthy relationships with food, the scale, body image and self-esteem. Starting at a very early age, I began to not like myself and struggled with how others perceived me. Did they see what I saw? The critical voice inside me was louder than ever during high school and throughout college. During this time, it became second nature to engage in unhealthy behaviors. The harmful cycle of negative self-talk, not caring for my body and obsession over my weight started to spiral out of control. This was a very difficult time in my life. I noticed that no matter what weight I was, I was unhappy and unfulfilled. As I continued to learn more about myself, I recognized that I was a broken person who had some deeper wounds. After working through various traumas in my own life, both big and small, I realized that I wanted to help others do the same. New Directions Colorado offers both in-person and online counseling.

Dietitian
Tracy Brown, RD
FL, AZ, CO, CA, IL, IN, VA, OH, WV, UT, TN, ID, MO, AL, TX, NY, PA,WI, NC, NE
Hi, I'm Tracy! I’m a somatic nutrition therapist, registered licensed dietitian and attuned eating coach in private practice providing in-person, phone and online counseling since 2006. I usher people on a soul level… Because I believe not wanting to be in the body is a way of protecting oneself, so the work is about nourishing the nervous system to feel safe enough to drop in to feel emotion to actually heal. Changing the food becomes an “of course eating is easier now” as flow becomes more a way of operating. I specialize in treatment of eating disorders and eating problems for both adults and children as well as issues related to over-extending the body, including adrenal fatigue, hormone issues, PCOS and gut health. I routinely teach intuitive eating workshops and disordered eating related talks throughout Florida, including University of Florida and Santa Fe College Gainesville, FL, Flager College, St. Augustine, FL, Florida Gulf Coast University, Ft Myers, FL. I am also the guest Nutrition Therapist for Feast, an online intuitive eating program and have appeared on many podcasts featuring topics on Intuitive Eating, Trauma healing, Positive body image and Recovery. I believe what healing food and weight concerns is really about is deciding to live fully human in the diverse and amazing bodies we have. Living and Feeling fully with courage and being dedicated to the fullest expression of who we are is the point.
Dietitian
Amy, RD
FL, AZ, CO, CA, IL, MI, VA, OH, WV, UT, ID.
Amy has been an RD for over 20 years. She has been blessed with a variety of professional experiences such as Corporate Wellness Dietitian, Associate Professor, Research Consultant, Clinical Dietitian and is now humbled to be doing nutrition counseling. She also delights in being on the board of BodyBloved that provides opportunities to heal one’s relationship with body image, food, and fitness (https://www.bodybloved.com/). She believes that evidenced based science, health behavior theory and best practice make a boom for supporting behavior change. Through her own diet struggles, she now proclaims the good news about Health at Every Size and the non-diet approach. Having experienced an eating disorder at a noticeably young age and then dabbling in disordered eating for many years thereafter, freedom rang when she started practicing the truths behind the non-diet approach. Her own struggles have equipped her with compassion, empathy, and realistic recommendations for those she works with. Additionally, her past research focused on emotional eating and nutrition interventions using the non-diet approach. As she sits in the middle of mid-life, she has a heart that cries out to women who are experiencing symptoms related to perimenopause (and men too in this mid-life stage). Going through her own struggles with the side effects of perimenopause, she wants to scream out the message that YOU ARE NOT CRAZY. What you are going through is real. Her mother, having gone through her own issues, is a strong encourager of seeking out help beyond what appears to be the traditional. Amy believes that this support is vital to everyone and that life is much better when one realizes YOU ARE NOT ALONE. She believes in extra self-care in all seasons of life and especially this one. As she reflects on her life with disordered eating, she is grateful that she was healed of that and wants to help those that struggle. It is enough to go through drastic bodily changes in the second half of life nevertheless having to struggle with food, body image, and physical activity. Finally, she is the wife to an amazing, hot hubs and a mama to 3 amazing kids, one of which came home from China through adoption recently. Faith, family, and friends are the top blessings in her life. (Although on many days you can see her on the struggle bus attempting to do mid-life and multitask😉). Amy loves walking, waking to morning devos and coffee, and sitting by the water. Her hope for those with strongholds related to food, body image, and physical activity, is that they will be set free to live the life they were called to live!

She believes that food is and should be an enjoyable part of life that connects us to others, our own bodies, and our culture. Karis seeks to walk alongside each individual as they discover and explore their own story regarding food and their body. These narratives are powerful lenses through which we see ourselves, and they desperately need compassion. Karis is a lover of mountains, coffee, good books, and good company. She enjoys learning about different cultures and their traditions (check out the Swedish word “Fika”). You can find her enjoying the morning sun and laughing at most dad jokes and puns.

Kelly Hartig, RD

Kelly’s clinical experience encompasses working with individuals with eating disorders at all levels of care.

Throughout her career she has worked with individuals struggling with Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder, and ARFID and has worked with children and adolescents, young adults, and adults. I believe there is no “one size fits all” approach to treating individuals with eating disorders. Each person’s struggle with this disease is unique and as such they deserve a clinician who is willing to support them in a unique way. I have a kind yet direct approach to my nutrition counseling style, providing guidance and support while also helping patients continue to move towards recovery by providing a gentle nudge when needed. I practice from an “all foods fit” mentality and truly believes having a more neutral, balanced, and flexible relationship with food is possible for anyone and everyone.
