Getting to know Mary (Katie) Zweig

Therapeutic Approach Katie Zweig is passionate about working collaboratively with clients to build self-compassion and self-acceptance. She operates from a Health at Every Size, non-diet model. Katie is also drawn to various therapeutic approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), while incorporating mindfulness practices. She utilizes approaches from these modalities based upon her assessment of client needs. Katie strives to promote authenticity and create a safe space for clients to heal their relationship with food and exercise. Background Katie Zweig began her career as an eating disorders recovery coach, providing people struggling with disordered eating real-time support as they go about their daily lives. She thoroughly enjoyed this work but felt she wanted to develop more skill and expertise to help her clients make changes that are lasting and sustainable. To this end, Katie pursued her Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling at Lewis & Clark College, where she focused her studies on adult mental health and earned a Certificate in Eating Disorders, verifying her expertise in this area. Before joining Monarch, Katie completed her clinical internship at Food Is Not The Enemy, an outpatient practice on the West Coast focused on the treatment of eating disorders. There, she provided outpatient therapy for people struggling with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and yo-yo dieting until she returned to Northern Virginia. Eating Disorders Treatment Katie has worked at both the inpatient and outpatient levels of care for eating disorders, both as a recovery coach and as an eating disorders therapist. She brings a depth of clinical and real-world experience to her work with individuals healing their relationships with food, body image, and mental health.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I want clients to know that I am passionate about supporting you in your journey to healing by helping you develop compassion for all parts of yourself. I use a relational approach to help clients deepen their understanding of themselves while maintaining a warm, empathetic presence. I value my clients' feedback and promote collaboration in order to help my clients reach their goals.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I work collaboratively with clients to help them build self-acceptance and self-esteem. My approach involves a focus on my client's emotional experience, and I help clients identify what may be preventing them from truly "feeling their feelings". I strive to help clients understand different parts of themselves and build compassion for their parts. I utilize aspects of internal family systems, dialectical behavioral therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy among other modalities.
