Casey Phelps Counseling

Meet Casey

Before I’m a counselor, I am a person — one who has walked my own path of healing and self-discovery. I don’t see myself as an expert above my clients, but as a fellow traveler who simply knows different, not more. Together, we bring our unique experiences and wisdom into the room to create something meaningful and collaborative.

My journey into this work began over a decade ago, during my own struggle with mental health and an eating disorder that first surfaced in college. Like many, my symptoms started long before anyone noticed. As a high school athlete, my identity was built around movement, discipline, and performance — until a hip surgery suddenly took that part of me away. With my sense of self shaken, I turned to food as a way to cope. What began as control and comfort quickly became something that controlled me.

After a routine doctor’s visit led to my diagnosis, I entered treatment — first residential, then PHP, IOP, and eventually outpatient care. I’ll be honest: it was not easy. It was inconvenient, frustrating, and often uncomfortable. But it was also transformative. It taught me resilience, balance, and how to listen to my body and mind with compassion rather than criticism.

That experience reshaped my life. Today, I live with a deep sense of balance in food, movement, and self-connection — and it is my life’s mission to give back to the community that helped me heal. My goal is to offer others the same understanding, care, and guidance that once helped me find my way back to myself.
