Episode Details

Today, I’m talking to Dr. Alyssa Hamel. Alyssa is a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, educator, researcher, and eating disorder specialist. She serves as Director of the Doctor of Nursing Practice Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Program at The University at Buffalo, State University of New York flagship institution and has been doing important work around eating disorder education, substance use education, stigma reduction, and clinician training.

Alyssa previously served as the primary psychiatric provider for a comprehensive eating disorders program and now owns a private practice working with individuals with eating disorders and co-occurring conditions. She also serves as Co-Chair of the Academy for Eating Disorders Professionals & Recovery Special Interest Group and is an Ambassador for the Eating Disorders Coalition.

Alyssa has particular interest in challenging the public's inaccurate and harmful perceptions about eating disorders. Her last research project focused on the paradoxical stigma of anorexia nervosa.

In the podcast today, Alyssa is going to share her Three Perspectives and One Mission. How lived experience, clinical practice and education can transform eating disorder care.

There’s so much value in this episode.  I hope that you enjoy it.
