Karen R Koenig Author

Karen R. Koenig, LCSW, M.Ed., is a psychotherapist, international eating coach, national educator, and popular author of four books on eating and weight. She is an expert on the psychology of eating—the how and why, not the what of it—is best known for her non-diet, eating “normal” approach to making peace with food, and has worked in the field of eating disorders for 30 years.

Her first two books set the stage for her "normal" eating series, The Rules of "Normal" Eating (Gürze Books, 2005) and The Food and Feelings Workbook, and she is also the author of What Every Therapist Needs to Know about Treating Eating and Weight Issues (Norton Professional Books, 2008) and Nice Girls Finish Fat (Simon and Schuster, 2009). Her books have been translated into 10 foreign languages.

Ms. Koenig practices in Sarasota, FL, moderates an online Food and Feelings message board, and authors two blogs.
