• Identify strategies to adapt exercise routines to accommodate varying stages of recovery.
• Explain the role of interdisciplinary collaboration, including the involvement of the athlete’s treatment team, coaches, and support system.

About the speaker: Kate Daley, MA, LPCC, RDN – Primary Therapist, Athlete EDGE® at EDCare

Kate Daley 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.
