Introducing Your Therapist
Patricia Kyle Dennis, Ph.D., specializes full-time in the
treatment of eating disorders. She designed the introductory group
in 1985 and has led more than 70 of these groups since that time.
Her ongoing therapy groups began shortly afterward and are still in
existence, so that she has had the opportunity to follow women’s
progress over the long run.

Kyle received her doctoral degree from the Institute for Clinical
Social Work. She has advanced training in psychodynamic, family,
and group psychotherapy. She teaches at Webster University and
St. Louis Community College, speaks to community groups, and
provides consulting and training for therapists and educators.

Kyle is committed to the “Health at Every Size” philosophy, and to
promoting the equality of all human beings.  She believes that her
own progress in controlling her eating and improving her body
image is valuable to the women she helps.
