Alison Ross, LMFT is the founder of NDH Therapy in Agoura Hills, California, a certified eating disorder specialist, neurofeedback practitioner, and advocate for body-positive living. Her outpatient center offers psychotherapy, neurofeedback brainwave training, nutritional coaching, and group support to teens and adults struggling with disordered eating, eating disorders, mood, attention, and trauma-related disorders. Alison views disordered eating patterns as predictable responses to being exposed to a highly-rewarding food environment and diet culture pressure to control one's weight and appetite. When internalized, this conflict can lock people into reactionary mindsets about food and their bodies and disordered eating patterns. Alison helps clients shift from shame-based dieting mindsets into body respect, nutritional self-care, and resilience to diet culture and the food industries' traps. Alison is the author of Non-Dieting: How to Love Your Body and Be Healthy in Diet Culture.
