Experience.
Hi, I’m Daniela Durazo!
I’m a bilingual therapist and coach dedicated to helping people heal their relationship with food and their bodies. I was born in Los Angeles, grew up in Mexico City, and now call Miami home.
Through my private practice, I provide therapy to clients in Florida and body image/binge eating coaching worldwide. My work is rooted in a deep passion for helping others break free from the cycle of food guilt and body shame, so they can finally find peace with food and their bodies.
My journey in this field began with a degree in Culinary Nutrition in 2012. Initially, I planned to become a dietitian, but with my strong nutrition background, I became increasingly fascinated by the psychology behind eating and true behavior change. This led me to shift my focus to mental health, recognizing that lasting food freedom comes from more than just knowing what to eat.
I worked as an executive chef in an eating disorder treatment facility, leading cooking groups, creating meal plans, and helping clients navigate food-related anxiety. After several years, I transitioned into recovery coaching, supporting clients through meals, grocery shopping, restaurant outings, body image distress, and mindfulness-based food exposures.
Wanting to deepen my ability to support clients, I pursued a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling. During my training, I worked at Milestones in Recovery, an eating disorder treatment center that utilizes the addictions model. I later joined Oliver-Pyatt Centers, where I served as an Assistant Clinical Director, working with individuals struggling with eating disorders, mood disorders, substance use, and other co-occurring conditions.
With over a decade of experience, I integrate culinary, nutritional, and psychological support to provide a comprehensive approach to healing. My work isn’t just professional—it’s personal. Through helping others, I’ve also transformed my own relationship with food and body image.
I know how exhausting the cycle of food guilt and body shame can be, but you don’t have to do it alone. Whether through therapy or coaching, I’m here to help you break free and find lasting peace with food and your body.
Let’s take the next step together.
