Trauma-Informed Eating Disorder Therapy in Newport Beach, CA

I’m Hanan Elshennawy, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of Recover Newport Beach. I specialize in helping women and girls recover from eating disorders, body image issues, and trauma using a compassionate and holistic approach.

My Story and Philosophy

My journey toward becoming a therapist was deeply personal. I founded Recover Newport Beach to create the kind of space I once needed—safe, non-judgmental, and rooted in empathy. As someone with lived experience of both trauma and recovery, I understand that healing is not linear. That’s why I center every client’s individuality in the recovery process.

I believe full recovery is possible when a person feels safe in their body, connected to their emotions, and supported by their community. I use a trauma-informed lens to help clients uncover the deeper roots of their eating disorders, while also addressing the critical mind-body connection.

My Approach to Therapy

I integrate various therapeutic modalities, including:

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

• Somatic and body-based techniques

• Narrative Therapy

• Relational and attachment-based approaches

I also work closely with families and loved ones to build a support system that encourages lasting recovery.

Focus Areas

• Eating disorder therapy

• Trauma recovery

• Body image healing

• Family and relationship dynamics
