Begin Your Eating Disorder Healing Journey


Brooke Farrington Founder and CEO, Certified Eating Disorder Specialist- Supervisor

Since founding Farrington Specialty Counseling in 2009, I have been honored to witness countless individuals and families finding true healing and lasting freedom from the devastating grasps of an eating disorder.  What a humbling and awe-inspiring experience it has been.  

When I was 11, I began an extensive battle with an eating disorder.  It stole time, energy, relationships, peace, memories, learning, self-confidence, view of myself beyond.  However, with aversive experiences, I also learned so much.  My eating disorder taught me that nothing worth fighting for is easy.  That seeing things differently, thinking deeply, wasn’t a curse but a gift.  It taught me that unconditional love, authenticity, and real-life messes are what matter most.  That I am stronger than I could have imagined.  It taught me about my life’s work.  

I was fully aware as a teenager that I was not getting the help that I needed and no one seemed to understand the beast that had taken a hold of my life.  While all were well-meaning, I remember thinking, “if someone could just understand...”.   Eating disorders are complex and require significant training and experience to treat properly.   I believe God called me to this work, to use my experiences and my pain to love others through their own.  

I truly believe that everyone has the capacity for true healing.  But it is no easy feat. It takes time, patience, specialized treatment, and A LOT of hard work. It takes a willingness to be uncomfortable, vulnerable, and to dig through the muck for as long as it takes. AND IT IS WORTH IT!  YOU ARE WORTH IT! 

The first step is to obtain a comprehensive initial assessment to determine a personalized treatment plan to meet your individual or loved one’s needs.

“Farrington Specialty Counseling changed the way I approached eating disorder recovery. Before taking part in IOP, I only saw half of what recovery entailed… Now I am able to say that I am truly recovering from my eating disorder, which is amazing since I honestly thought it to be an impossible task before coming to FSC.”
