Our Story

Alex, Kate, Kristen, and Zoe, Co-Founders of Four Roots Collective, met after relocating to Germany. As eating disorder specialists trained in the United States, we quickly recognized a lack of comprehensive care in Germany for those struggling with food, body, and movement. This motivator bound us together to create Four Roots Collective for you. 

Through Four Roots Collective, we aim to provide folks throughout Germany and Europe with expert care and cultivate a community for individuals and families struggling with eating, body, and exercise. In our collaborative work, we are able to provide specialized care that uniquely meets the needs of the individuals and families that we support. This goes beyond weekly sessions to include meal support, team meetings, parent/family coaching, text support, and other services. We aim to support in a manner that is similar to intensive outpatient programming in the US.

We share a passion for helping people heal through evidence-based approaches — no matter if you have been through treatment in the past or if this is your first time seeking support. We practice from an inclusive lens and integrate weight-neutral and gender-affirming care.

Come as you are.
