Dr. Porras is especially passionate about supporting clients struggling with binge eating, emotional eating, and negative body image from a Health At Every Size informed approach.
Because of Dr. Porras’s background in health psychology, she is highly attentive to the complexities of the mindbody connection in general, such as the impact of chronic health conditions on mental wellbeing and vice versa.
Dr. Porras primarily practices from an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) framework, bringing in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) as needed to provide truly individualized treatment.
Dr. Porras’s approach is relational, as she believes in the importance of creating an authentic therapeutic relationship in which individuals experience the safety they need to fully show up as themselves and to cultivate the kind of self-awareness, radical acceptance, and selfcompassion that leads to true change.
