HI, MY NAME IS ANNIE!
I am a Registered Counseling Associate, a Certified Nutrition Therapy Practitioner, and a former personal trainer. I help teens and adults with eating disorders build healthier relationships with food, movement, and their bodies. Using an anti-diet, Health at Every Size (HAES®), and intuitive eating approach, we will work together to help you ditch the diet, overcome food fears, end restriction, conquer binge eating, and learn to love your body. I strive to create a safe, inclusive, and collaborative environment, while utilizing a trauma-informed approach to care. My theoretical orientation is informed by emotionally focused and somatic experiencing frameworks. I also regularly integrate Internal Family Systems.
IT ALL STARTED IN 2017
In 2017, Annie Beth Company, LLC was originally established as a personal training business. I had recently left a career in architecture to become a Certified Personal Trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. At the time, I was eager and excited to help athletes reach their goals. Specifically, I wanted to help female identifying persons build healthier relationships with exercise, food, and their bodies—I just didn’t know what that looked like yet. Although I would have considered myself “recovered” from an eating disorder at the time, I was still deeply entrenched in diet culture. Heck, I was competing in bodybuilding competitions in 2017! Still, I would have told you that I was “anti-diet” simply because I did not promote “fad diets” or “extreme” weight loss methods. Nevertheless, I had a long way to go.
To make a very long story short, years of dieting and pushing my body to the extreme eventually led to HPA-Axis Dysfunction and I was forced to finally make peace with food, exercise, and my body. Consequently, my views on health and nutrition began to change. In fact, it was during this time that I returned to the Nutrition Therapy Institute for an occupational degree in nutrition therapy, learned about the psychology of eating, discovered Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size (HAES®), and truly began to accept my own body. It was also during this time that the Triad Recovery Collective (formerly Triad Warriors) emerged.
Originally, the Triad Recovery Collective was a nutrition program designed to help female athletes overcome the same struggles that I had once overcome—The Female Athlete Triad. Essentially, the Female Athlete Triad (now known as Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport) is a condition defined by under-fueling, amenorrhea, and low bone density. And honestly, helping athletes heal from RED-S remains a goal of mine today. However, as I began to dive deeper, I also began to realize how much more was involved here.
As humans, we are embodied beings. We are minds, bodies, and spirits. Thus, health is about much more than just food and fitness. Health is a complex integration of our physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, environmental, and social wellbeing, and the ways in which we experience food, our bodies, and the world is a direct result of this complex cumulation of factors. As a result, I returned to school once again for a Master of Arts in Counseling in 2021 and my practice began to evolve.
Today, I offer mental health counseling services using an integrated approach to health and eating disorder recovery. An approach that upholds the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of your being. An approach that seeks to bring individual freedom to those who are struggling in their relationship to food and body and justice to the larger systems of oppression that contribute to unhealth (i.e., weight stigma, sexism, racism, ableism, etc.).
Ultimately, how we relate to food is about MORE than just food. In fact, things like trauma, genetics, digestion, chemical imbalances, food insecurity, dieting, cultural ideals, life-changing events, interpersonal relationships, etc. can all impact the ways in which we feel, act, and behave around food. Consequently, building a healthier relationship with food is often about MORE than “ditching the diet,” though that is a part of it. Building a healthier relationship with food is about HEALING; deep healing. Thus, it is my goal and intention to walk alongside you throughout this process of healing.
My APPROACH & Specialties
My therapeutic approach is attachment-based, trauma-informed, and person-centered. As previously mentioned, my primary theoretical orientations include Emotion Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), Somatic Experiencing, and Internal Family Systems. In essence, these approaches are experiential, “bottom-up” processing therapies that honor the wisdom of your body. These approaches help you to access, process, and transform the emotional experiences that are contributing to your eating disorder behaviors and body image challenges. In addition, my body-centered approach will help you to reconnect with your bodily signals, process your underlying experiences of trauma, increase your sense of body trust and safety, identify alternative coping skills, increase self-compassion, and improve your relationships with food, body, self, and others. My areas of clinical specialization include:
Anorexia Nervosa
Bulimia Nervosa
Binge Eating Disorder
ARFID
Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder, including Orthorexia
Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S)
Body Dysmorphia
Negative Body Image
Sexual Trauma
Complex Trauma
Religious Trauma
In addition, I work with co-occurring challenges and disorders such as anxiety, depression, perfectionism, low self-esteem, chronic illness, and identity development. I work with adults, young adults, and adolescents ages 14 and older.

* Note: My full legal name is “Andrea Beth-Calhoun Randall”. Thus, all registrations, certifications, and degrees will list my name as “Andrea,” not “Annie”. In addition, I am currently under the supervision of Julie Westlin-Naigus, LPC (C4000), LMHC (MHC.LH.70047128).
As someone who has recovered from an eating disorder myself, I know what it is like to FEEL STUCK and TERRIFIED OF CHANGE. However, I also know that recovery is possible and that you do NOT have to do it alone. My goal is that you feel SUPPORTED every step along the way.
counseling values
Connection
Food freedom is NOT about controlling food and/or your body; it is about CONNECTION with your body. Moreover, food freedom is about connection with your emotional experiences. Finding true food freedom involves building an AWARENESS around your emotional experiences, your needs, and your wants, while learning how to respond to these needs and wants in an adaptive manner. Thus, the heart of my work lies within CONNECTION.
Curiosity
Curiosity seeks UNDERSTANDING and it is built upon the connection that we already talked about. Judgement makes assumptions and creates shame. I am NOT in the business of shaming people. Instead, I will approach EVERYTHING with a posture of curiosity. I ask, “What are your wins, failures, behaviors, thoughts, emotions, past experiences, etc. communicating?” Curiosity begins when we replace judgment with gentle inquiry. Rather than trying to "fix" your pain, I will approach your thoughts, behaviors, and emotional experiences with genuine interest. In turn, curiosity will not only increase your sense of self-understanding, but also your sense of SELF-COMPASSION.
Compassion
Healing unfolds in an environment of WARMTH and UNCONDITIONAL acceptance. Through a compassionate lens, I meet you with KINDNESS rather than critique. This compassionate container offers your body and mind a safe space to soften and HEAL. In addition, this compassionate container allows the shame and guilt that has been keeping you stuck to decrease.
Collaboration
I approach healing as a COLLABORATIVE process. Ultimately, YOU are the expert on YOUR own body and life (whether or not you believe it yet). Thus, I will always HONOR the innate wisdom that you carry. I seek to WALK ALONG SIDE you through the journey of recovery. Together, we will work to uncover what it is that is making your relationship with food and body so painful and difficult, while creating opportunities for growth and healing along the way.
Inclusivity
Every identity, body, background, and lived experience is fully WELCOMED and honored in this space. I am committed to providing culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and affirming care that recognizes how systemic environments impact personal well-being. All of who you are and every part that makes you unique BELONGS here.
