We will explore strategies for individualizing approaches to match different recovery stages, ensuring a balanced and safe approach back to sport. Additionally, we’ll discuss the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, emphasizing how to effectively involve the athlete’s treatment team, coaches, and support system to assist a successful reintegration process.

About the speaker:
Kate Daley, MA, LPCC, RDN
Primary Therapist, Athlete EDGE® at EDCare
Kate is passionate about treating eating disorders and guiding patients along their recovery journeys. She is originally from Connecticut and received her bachelor’s degree in dietetics from the University of Connecticut where she competed in the cross country and track and field teams. She then went on to earn her master’s degree in counseling psychology, with an emphasis in clinical mental health counseling, from the University of Denver.
Her experience has centered around working with athletes with eating disorders as both a therapist and sport dietitian at the outpatient level and higher levels of care. Kate practices through a weight-inclusive lens and uses a strengths-based approach, incorporating approaches from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her clinical work. Kate believes food is so much more than the energy it provides. It is social, cultural, emotional, and, above all, should be enjoyed. Her passion lies in helping those with eating disorders relearn to trust their bodies and find food freedom while continuing (if they so choose!) to compete in the sport they love.
