Dr. Alexis Conason is a licensed psychologist, certified eating disorder specialist-supervisor, and founder of Conason Psychological Services, a private practice in New York City. She and her team are trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, HAES-aligned, fat positive, and social justice oriented.

Her specialties include the treatment of binge eating disorder, disordered eating (including diet-binge cycles, “emotional eating”, and “compulsive overeating”), body image dissatisfaction, and bariatric surgery. She also treats people struggling with depression, anxiety, adjustment problems, relationship issues, sexual functioning, career issues, stress management, and other psychological challenges.

Dr. Conason’s therapeutic style is characterized by a warm, non-judgmental stance, curiosity, compassion, and collaboration with her clients to regain agency in their lives. Using a blend of psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), she helps her clients increase self-awareness and process their past. So they can uncover and challenge the often unconscious beliefs holding them back.
