Swell Mental Health

SWELL Mental Health is an eating disorder and body image practice on Hillsborough Street in Raleigh. The therapy is for women working to untangle their relationship with food, their bodies, and the parts of themselves that dieting has buried.

The starting point is that you are not broken and not alone. What you carry is the residue of a culture that taught you your body is a problem to solve instead of a home to live in. The practice describes its work as compassionate, and the tone matches.

What to know

• A free consultation is available before any commitment.
• Clients often come after years of calorie counting, plans, and programs.
• The practice treats body image as part of the same work.
• Its stated view is that untangling this takes more than motivation.
