The Psychology of Eating
Heal your relationship with your body, food, and mind
The Runaway Fork offers a powerful blend of Psychological Counseling services combined with Intuitive Eating principles to heal teens and adults in New Jersey and New York who struggle with food and body. Let’s face it, we all turn to food for so many reasons that have nothing to do with hunger.
Stress, work, kids, our moods, thoughts, and relationships all affect how we eat and care for ourselves. Understanding these connections, instead of focusing on weight alone, is key to discovering the life you really want.

About The Runaway Fork
The Runaway Fork was created as a place for people to explore their relationship with food in a way they probably haven’t before. A place to learn about why diets fail, why we overeat, the impact of dieting on our body and emotions, and how to make sense of all this from your unique perspective. Discover a counseling process that recognizes the need for a holistic approach to weight, body, and mind. An approach that finally makes the critical distinction that it is not only important what we eat, but who we are as eaters.
