What does it mean to recover from food addiction?
With many kinds of addiction, people think of recovery as ongoing abstinence from the substance or behaviour.
Dr Carolyn Ross
Medical Doctor
“An experienced medical doctor who offers therapy and medication management for people with obesity, eating disorders and addictions.”
About Me
If you are navigating obesity, eating disorders, or addictions, I offer an integrated approach. As an experienced medical doctor, I combine thoughtful therapy with careful medication management. My medical background helps bridge the gap between psychological and physical health. This can be especially helpful for conditions benefiting from both perspectives. We work together to find sustainable strategies for your wellbeing.
Approach
Sessions blend medical clarity with a steady, compassionate pace so practical choices feel manageable rather than overwhelming. In San Diego or online, I use a predictable structure—brief assessments, focused goals, mindfulness exercises and regular collaborative check‑ins—that fits adults working alone or in groups. I monitor symptoms, adjust treatments when indicated, and make space for habits, urges and mood to be explored between meetings. People navigating weight, eating or addictive challenges often find this approach stabilizing and forward‑moving.
