Welcome

I’m a Psychoanalyst and Licensed Psychologist (PSY25475) who works with individuals and couples both via tele-health (CA & NY) and at my office in downtown Berkeley. I am Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP) and provide psychoanalytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.

While I work with a wide range of issues, I have a special expertise in the treatment of eating disorders and body image concerns and am a Certified Eating Disorders Specialist – Supervisor (CEDS-S). In addition to my practice, I am an Associate Professor at Golden Gate University where I am involved in research and have published several books, including Eating Disorders: A Contemporary Introduction, Understanding Anorexia Nervosa in Males: An Integrative Approach and Psychoanalytic Treatment of Eating Disorders: When Words Fail and Bodies Speak. I have authored a wide range of articles, about which you can find more here.

I hope you’ll take a few moments to browse through my webpage. If you’d like to talk further, please contact me by phone at (510) 982-1852 or by e-mail at tw@tomwooldridge.com.
