About Amy:

I am a licensed clinical social work specializing in the treatment of anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder and body image disturbance, for adolescents and adults, both female and male, in Naperville, Illinois and the surrounding Western Chicago, Illinois suburbs. With more than twenty years experience in the health care and mental health profession, I have worked with individuals, families and groups in hospital, residential and outpatient settings to help people improve their health and quality of life by identifying lifestyle changes and providing tools and strategies to reach their individual goals. Not surprisingly a person’s beliefs, attitudes and behavior regarding food play a central theme in overall health and wellness. I am a strong believer that health can be improved by shifting the paradigm from weight to health and focusing on honoring the physical body through awareness and mindful eating, promoting movement and mind-body skills to alleviate chronic stress and promote emotional well-being. I am extremely excited and proud to have the opportunity to reach more people who struggle with chronic dieting, guilt and shame over their eating patterns and help them to truly live vibrantly through Dr. Michelle May’s mindful-eating approach. I am available to work with you one on one, through workshops or corporate wellness programs. Programs are available for Mindful Eating, Mindful Eating for Bariatric Surgery and Binge Eating Workshops/Therapy Groups. I look forward to hearing from you and having the opportunity to share Dr. May's Mindful Eating Approach.
