Here at Bloom, we are experts in eating disorders recovery, but you are the expert in YOU. Our goal is to provide collaborative and inclusive care aimed at connecting you with your intuitive body wisdom that’s been there all along. We are passionate about trauma-informed care and believe that leaning into pain with empathy and curiosity provides the framework for healing.

Founded and led by the only certified eating disorders specialist in Fort Collins, Bloom was launched by Kelly Elise Ulmer, LPC, in response to a growing community need for individualized and holistic treatment options. Bloom aspires to create a safe space where our clients (you!) are supported to find freedom in food, movement, and body by connecting to the truest version of themselves. Having personal experience in eating disorders recovery, Kelly knows firsthand how healthcare environments and even traditional eating disorders treatment settings can reinforce shame-based weight stigma and unhealthy practices, which is why changing the notion of what an eating disorder “looks like” is essential to our practice.

Grounded in the principles of Health at Every Size, the clinicians at Bloom are dedicated to challenging fatphobic systems and creating a safer world for bodies of all shapes and sizes. Bloom is committed to social justice—particularly the impact of racism and fatphobia on health and well-being—and we work at understanding the impact social oppression has on marginalized bodies. We are willing to admit that we don’t know everything, and we are counselors wholeheartedly willing to confront our privilege and own our mistakes. We know that only by doing our own work can we help facilitate healing for others.

Insurance coverage varies with each of our therapists. Please note that we are not in-network with any insurance plans for dietetic services.
