Therapy for Trauma and Eating Disorders in NJ

Jayne Duncan, Ph.D.

Licensed Psychologist | Embodied Recovery NJ

Hi, I’m Jayne! I am a New Jersey psychologist specializing in eating disorders, complex trauma, and body image. I help adults and teens struggling with binge eating, restricting, bulimia, perfectionism, trauma-related shame, self-destructive behavior, and more. My work centers a HAES-aligned, non-diet, trauma-informed approach focused on healing rather than fixing. Many of the people I work with are creative, sensitive, deeply thoughtful humans who learned to manage internal chaos through eating disorder behaviors, self-destructive patterns, or relentless striving to be “just right.” If you’ve ever thought “why do I keep repeating patterns I know are bad for me?”, “I can’t control myself around food”, “I’m broken, defective, or too much”, or something along those lines, you’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

Broadly, I am the therapist who will both show up with the utmost warmth and respect while also unapologetically calling you out on what needs to be called out. I’ll be honest with you, and help guide you towards your best self, and I think the least I can do is be raw and real with you too. I believe that our pain is maintained in the dark corners of silence, in efforts to keep up appearances and act as if we don’t hurt – by betraying ourselves and abandoning who we truly are. And, as your therapist, I want to shine a spotlight on those dark corners and show up in full authenticity for you. So if you’re looking for a therapist who will be real with you, on your team unconditionally, there for the ups, downs, and everything in between — I would be honored to be that person. It’s a privilege for me to be a part of someone else’s healing, and I’m also a huge nerd about my specialties and love sharing my knowledge.
