“Sapientia” (sap-pen-tcha) is Latin for wisdom. My practice is built on the belief that everyone already has within them the resources to heal, grow, and thrive. Simply put, I use evidence-based interventions – primarily a therapy called Internal Family Systems (IFS) – to help people tap into that innate wisdom. With my support, clients heal themselves.

Hello! Denise Marmillion, MS, RD, LDN (she/her), is a dietitian at peace.love.food Nutrition Counseling.

Drawing on personal experience, she understands the limitations of conventional dieting and fosters a culturally competent, weight-inclusive environment that celebrates diversity. Her expertise extends to supporting LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent clients, creating a space where everyone feels welcome and empowered.

Denise’s dedication extends beyond the session. She inspires clients to cultivate whole-being “health” and fulfillment, fostering lasting positive change. Clients consistently praise her patient, non-judgmental, and warm counseling style.

I offer personalized nutrition counseling, both virtually and in person, using a relationship-centered, trauma-informed approach grounded in the principles of Health at Every Size® (HAES). With over five years of experience, I am dedicated to helping individuals rebuild a positive relationship with food and their bodies. My areas of expertise include guiding clients through eating disorder recovery, addressing disordered eating, embracing intuitive eating, managing chronic illnesses, and overcoming a variety of nutrition-related challenges.

I work with adolescents, young adults and adults who are struggling with a range of mental health concerns. I specialize in supporting individuals with eating disorders, personality disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns. I take an integrative approach, tailoring evidence-based interventions to meet the client’s individual needs and drawing from my experience as both a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and licensed art therapist (ATR).
I aim to help my clients achieve meaningful change with an eclectic combination including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), radically-open DBT, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and enhanced CBT, motivational interviewing, and art therapy, among others.
Within this integrative framework, I hold a person-centered and trauma-informed lens and offer compassion, humor and directness to my clients. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is an essential foundation for growth and change, and I strive to create a space that is collaborative, warm, and accepting.

Behavior change requires time, effort, and resources. To have all of these things requires immense privilege. Our culture and healthcare systems create barriers to impede treatment and neglect care for individuals who are stigmatized due to the size of their bodies. Healing and true rapport are pillars to develop safe and vulnerable relationships with providers. You deserve an environment free of judgment and shame. We are committed to your understanding that what you are struggling with is not your fault.

At Mend Therapy we serve people of all sizes and shapes, abilities, races, representations, and orientations. You are the expert of yourself. As your provider, we want to be your teammate, helping you create space for yourself to meet your wants and needs of self care.

Our approach is rooted in individualized, size-affirming care with you at the core. The credentials at the end of our names represent our education and training as experts in nutrition and physical therapy. As providers, our priority is to guide you to become the true expert of yourself. This does include rigid rules and unrealistic expectations. You’re behind the wheel and we’ll be the passenger pilot – there to offer you guidance, not make the decision – at Mend Therapy you determine what health means for you.

It is important to me that I meet my clients where they are at in their healing journey as we work together to process trauma, identify needs, work towards achieving goals, and develop healthy coping skills. I believe that my clients are the experts of their own life experiences, strengths and needs.

The approach I implement is based on each individualized clients needs utilizing a wraparound perspective while applying various therapeutic techniques and modalities. I see the therapeutic process as a true collaboration with my clients and other members of their treatment team.

With nearly 20 years work in the field of eating disorders I have extensive experience in helping clients navigate the complexities of their eating disorder. I understand the non-linear nature of recovery and value helping my clients feel more empowered in navigating their recovery and developing healthier coping mechanisms.

I strive to create a space of empathy, non-judgment, and respect for the autonomy of my clients. I believe that setbacks don’t signify failure but rather are part of the process, which is critical in helping my clients stay engaged in therapy even when things feel difficult or overwhelming.

I have had the privilege of working as a Clinical Social Worker in the Boston area for over 20 years. I currently have a private practice in Boston, MA. I take a collaborative, practical and caring approach to psychotherapy. I have extensive experience helping people with eating disorders among many other areas of mental health. Some other areas of expertise of mine are working with individuals and couples dealing with depression/mood disorders, anxiety, stress management, relationship difficulties, substance abuse, trauma, and life transitions. I also enjoy providing supervision/consultation for therapists in training.
My approach to therapy is rooted in relational & experiential therapy.I want my clients to know that they are not alone and that when working with me they have a place where they can be authentically themselves with no judgment. I use a sense of humor and bring to the session my true self and realness which makes space for transformation and lasting change.
Fluent in Spanish, I have traveled extensively my entire life. I have lived in Caracas, Venezuela, Spain and England, and have traveled and lived in different parts of the United States. Having a world view has shaped me not only as an individual but as a psychotherapist and as someone who helps guide, motivate and encourage those I work with.

A team of HAES-aligned dietitians providing nutrition counseling to treat eating disorders, disordered eating, chronic dieting, body image issues and more. We are weight-inclusive and body-inclusive practitioners, here to provide a safe, compassionate and curious space.

I have experience working with a variety of eating disorders including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder, and all other specified feeding and eating disorders. I am a non-diet dietitian that aligns with health at every size. I actively work to provide a non-biased approach to nutrition care to support people of all sizes, genders, race and sexual orientation. My experience with eating disorders comes from my 3 years working at Cambridge Eating Disorder Center before transitioning to outpatient care with peace.love.food Nutrition Counseling to provide more direct and individualized client care.
I believe in healing your relationship with food by creating positive food experiences and finding joy in food again. I have a passion for helping others and creating a safe space to discuss food beliefs.

“From Unspoken Pain to Empowered Healing: Breaking the Silence on Unaddressed Grief” – Anita Gupta”

People tend to suffer in silence with Depression, Anxiety, Eating Disorders and Grief over loss for far too long. Reaching out for help takes courage. I have 30 years experience working as a Clinical Instructor – Harvard Medical School, Associate Clinical Psychologist – Massachusetts General Hospital and treating patients in my private practice in Boston’s Back Bay. In 2022 I moved my private practice to Newton Highlands. My mission is to
help people fulfill their life dreams personally, professionally and relationally. My patients and I work collaboratively to explore the roots of their pain / symptoms and discover new strategies to better deal with complicated problems. I am an interactive and relational therapist. I offer Individual, Couples, Group Therapy & Grief Counseling.

Coping with the death of a loved one can feel intolerable. You believe no one can really understand YOUR pain. You are right. But, you are also not alone. I lost my 16 yo son 3 years ago. Faith, an unflappable support system and therapy saved my life. I am ready to help others on their journey to living a fulfilling, love-filled life along side of the grief.

Life transitions can be complicated and difficult. Whether the transition is to a change in relationship status, new city, new job, or new school, it is helpful to have a safe, private space to process overwhelming emotions that invariably arise. I see patients over zoom as well as face to face indoors as well as in an Outdoor Covid Compliant Office space.
