Therapy for Anxiety and Eating Disorders in Los Altos, CA
Does this sound familiar?
You work hard. You set high goals and standards for yourself, and often reach them, but somehow it never feels like enough. That inner critic just won't let up, and your mind rarely (if ever) feels quiet, relaxed, or content.
Chronic worry or fear plagues you. Thoughts loop, replay, or pop up uninvited, and no amount of reassurance seems to settle them.
Or maybe your relationship with your body feels harsh, disconnected, and hurtful. You spend a lot of time judging, monitoring, or trying to change your body.
Food takes up more mental space than you want it to. Eating can feel stressful, rule-bound, or emotionally charged. You might swing between control and guilt, restriction and overwhelm, all while wishing food could just feel simpler.
Change is ABSOLUTELY possible. I'm here to help you:
- Learn how to quiet racing thoughts, reduce constant worry, and find ways to feel more grounded, present, and in control.
- Finally feel relief from perfectionism and pressure, and have more room for flexibility and self-compassion (without sacrificing reaching your goals and being successful!).
- More peace with food and your body. Untangling food from guilt, shame, or control, and moving toward trust, balance, and nourishment.
- Tools to help you manage when emotions feel intense or unmanageable.
- Change that is realistic and sustainable.

Meet Liz Paolozzi, LMFT
I love helping people break free from the chains of anxiety, low confidence/self-worth, stress, overwhelm, burnout, and disordered eating and body image struggles.
Having grown up in the Silicon Valley, I understand the unique pressures that come with living in this area. I have seen firsthand (with myself and my clients) the value in prioritizing our own mental and emotional wellbeing, and love helping people find what that looks like for them.
I value balance, flexibility, self-compassion, and accountability. I have seen how shifting the way that we treat ourselves, inside and out, can completely change the way we think, feel, and live in our lives. These values guide how I show up both in and outside the therapy room.
Clients often tell me that after our work together they feel lighter. Less reactive toward themselves and others. Anxiety feels more manageable instead of all-consuming. They’re able to set boundaries without spiraling in guilt. Food and body thoughts don’t take up as much space. They trust themselves more.
