About our diabetes mental health services

Three of our staff members live with type 1 / autoimmune diabetes, so diabetes mental health is a huge passion area for us! In partnership with Reframe Diabetes, Sustainable Wellness offers a variety of therapy and coaching services focused on the mental health components of life with diabetes.
People living with diabetes often experience shame, isolation, and medical trauma. This can lead to struggles with self-image, depression, disordered eating/eating disorders, food fears, and health anxiety. A diabetes-informed clinician can help people move away from perfectionism, comparison, and shame toward a place of resilience, acceptance, and authenticity. 
Meet our Diabetes Mental Health Specialist, Savannah Lee, LMSW, who currently provides individual and group therapy along with diabetes coaching services at our practice.
