Talk 1-on-1 with a Peer Specialist About Eating disorders

Eating disorders are about far more than food. They can affect your sense of safety, control, identity, and daily life in ways that are exhausting to carry alone. A 1-on-1 session with an eating disorder Peer Specialist gives you private time with someone who has navigated the same territory.

Hello, I go by Chives. I’m a trans man, nonbinary, and queer person who brings both personal and professional lived experience to peer mentoring. I’m married to my wonderful partner, who is disabled, and I’m disabled myself, giving me a deep understanding of navigating disability, relationships, identity, and life’s challenges. I’ve also worked in an IRTP, supporting young people through difficult periods in their lives. I’m passionate about learning, creativity, and art, and I love finding new things to explore and ways to express myself. Above all, I believe in meeting people where they are, listening without judgment, and helping others recognize their own strengths and possibilities.

I am here to be a compassionate and accepting support as someone who has experienced significant and complex trauma that led to my own path of healing that is non-linear and shaped by the strength of my ancestors and culture. I am bilingual and would love to connect anyone who speaks Spanish or is from a different culture, as I believe learning and connecting with others fosters belonging and compassion which we all need. I hope to nurture the healing of mind, body, and soul by incorporating each individual's culture and knowledge into a path towards creating a fulfilling and authentic life.

Why it helps

How a Peer Specialist helps with eating disorders

A Peer Specialist helps with eating disorders because so much of the experience happens between clinical appointments, in kitchens, mirrors, and ordinary moments that a therapist never sees. A 1-on-1 session offers peer-level understanding of the real daily work of recovery, from someone who has been in it.
