Heal at Your Pace, Reclaim Your Story
Whole-Person Healing at Metabolite Clinic
Trauma doesn’t just affect the mind—it lives in the body too. Many patients we see have trauma linked to body image, weight stigma, disordered eating, or medical mistreatment.
Our therapists collaborate with our medical team, dietitians, and obesity physicians to ensure that you’re supported emotionally, physically, and holistically.
This isn’t just therapy. It’s trauma-informed care that sees all of you.

Racha specializes in helping individuals struggling with emotional eating, body image distress, disordered eating patterns, anxiety, and trauma.

She is particularly passionate about empowering clients to reconnect with their bodies, regulate emotional responses, and build self-compassion.

If something in your past still affects your emotions, relationships, sense of safety, or self-worth, it may be trauma. This could include abuse, neglect, bullying, medical mistreatment, discrimination, or any experience where you felt powerless or deeply overwhelmed.
