Our approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that every part of you has a purpose—and every person has the capacity to heal.
An Integrative Approach to Healing.
At Nurtari, we provide compassionate, specialized therapy for individuals navigating the complexities of trauma, relationship challenges, dissociation, eating disorders, body image issues and those pursuing overall wellness. Rooted in a deep respect for each person's unique story, our practice integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support healing at every level—mind, body, and spirit. We offer virtual and in-person services conveniently located in St. Louis County.

Group Therapy
Group therapy is a powerful way to heal, connect, and grow alongside others. At Nurtari in St. Louis, MO, our therapy groups provide a safe, therapist-facilitated space for adults to explore emotions, relationship patterns, and personal experiences with the support of peers who are also on a path of deep inner work.
Unlike psychoeducational groups that focus on teaching skills, our process groups emphasize discovery and connection. Members explore how they relate—to themselves, to others, and to the parts of them that carry pain, offer protection, or long for belonging. Common themes include:
Trauma and complex PTSD
Eating disorders and body image struggles
Dissociation and disconnection from self
Anxiety, depression, and relational challenges
In real time, group members experience authentic interactions, guided by a licensed therapist to ensure emotional safety, insight, and meaningful growth.
At Nurtari, we integrate evidence-based approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), and EMDR-informed practices to support each person’s journey. Group therapy becomes a microcosm of life—a space to notice relationship patterns, express unspoken emotions, and receive reflection and compassion in a contained, supportive environment.
Over time, group participants often experience:
Increased self-awareness and emotional resilience
A reduction in feelings of isolation
Greater capacity for healthy, connected relationships
A deeper sense of belonging—with others and within themselves
If you’re searching for group therapy that addresses eating disorders, trauma, or relational challenges, Nurtari offers a space where healing and connection can thrive.

Meal Support Session
At Nurtari in St. Louis, MO, we offer meal support therapy—a therapeutic experience designed to help individuals with eating disorders navigate the challenges of eating in a safe, structured, and supportive environment. Sessions are available in-person or online to meet clients where they are in their recovery journey.
Led by a licensed therapist or registered dietitian (RD) with advanced training in eating disorder treatment, meal support sessions provide both emotional guidance and practical support before, during, and after a meal or snack.
The goal is not just to eat, but to explore and work through the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that make eating difficult. This may include:
Addressing food-related anxiety
Challenging disordered beliefs about eating and body image
Practicing mindful, attuned eating
Reinforcing normalized eating patterns
Building coping skills for distress that arises during meals
With real-time support, clients are guided to stay present, regulate emotions, and process what comes up, creating space for healing and new experiences with food.
Meal support can be a powerful part of outpatient recovery for adults struggling with:
Anorexia Nervosa (AN)
Bulimia Nervosa (BN)
Binge Eating Disorder (BED)
Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED)
Sessions may take place one-on-one or in a small group setting and are often integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan. Over time, meal support helps reduce fear, rebuild trust in the body, and make eating feel safer, more manageable, and more connected.
In-person sessions available in St. Louis, MO
Virtual meal support available across Missouri and California.
At Nurtari, we nurture all the parts of you—including the part that’s learning to make peace with food.
