Adrianna Bollaro is a Licensed Associate Counselor who provides virtual therapy for adolescents and adults throughout New Jersey. She specializes in eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. Her eating disorder work includes support for Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, ARFID, restrictive eating, and the emotional concerns that often exist alongside difficulties with food and body image.

Adrianna understands that struggles with food, body image, grief, or trauma often involve much more than the symptom that initially brings someone to therapy. A struggle with food may also involve control, perfectionism, identity, anxiety, relationships, or the way someone has learned to cope. Grief may affect not only how someone feels about what they lost, but also how they understand themselves and the future they expected to have.

Her approach is integrative and individualized. Depending on what a client needs, Adrianna may incorporate somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, Gottman-informed relationship work, ecotherapy, and expressive arts.

Adrianna is interested in helping clients become curious about themselves rather than immediately judging or trying to eliminate every uncomfortable thought, emotion, or behavior. Therapy may involve understanding where a pattern came from, recognizing what purpose it has served, and deciding whether it is still helping you now.

For clients struggling with food or body image, this can mean moving beyond conversations about weight or appearance and exploring the larger relationship someone has developed with food, their body, control, self-worth, and the expectations they have learned to place on themselves.

Her work with grief similarly recognizes that healing does not mean forgetting, “moving on,” or reaching a point where a loss no longer matters. Instead, therapy can help clients understand how the loss has changed them and begin figuring out how they want to carry that experience forward.

Adrianna's style is compassionate, thoughtful, and willing to go deeper than surface-level coping skills when a client is ready to understand what may be happening underneath.

Adrianna holds only virtual sessions.
