Getting to know Ricardo Despradel

My work focuses on supporting people navigating eating disorders, disordered eating, body dysphoria, OCD, Binge eating,hoarding, and the unique experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals. These struggles can feel isolating—but they don’t have to be. I offer a warm, affirming space where you don’t have to explain or justify who you are or what you’re going through.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Together, we’ll explore the patterns and pain points in your life with care. I use approaches like CBT, ERP, prolonged exposure,CBT-E and Motivational Interviewing, always through a trauma-informed and person-centered lens. But just as important as the tools is the relationship—we’ll build something grounded in trust and mutual respect.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I carefully choose what evidence based treatment to use for your specific concerns (eg. Anorexia, OCD, Binge eating, Bulimia, disordered eating, trauma, phobias, pain attacks).Our sessions are structured with a clear goal in mind and how we can achieve this goal(s). Treatment is a collaborative effort so you will play an active role in your recovery.
