Dr. Zeckhausen began practicing in Atlanta and co-founded PFPA in 1990. She also founded the Eating Disorder Information Network (EDIN) in 1996. She is currently EDIN’s Co-Director leading that organization in providing the greater Atlanta community with prevention and treatment services for Anorexia, Bulimia, and Obesity. Dina began writing and presenting treatment information on Eating Disorders when she was in graduate school and has helped raise awareness of eating disorders throughout the country. She has also written creatively to raise awareness of eating disorders including a play, What’s Eating Katie?, which has been performed by and for teens throughout Atlanta, and a children’s book, Full Mouse, Empty Mouse, which also has a curriculum that serves as part of a prevention package for grade school children.

Dr. Zeckhausen works with Adolescents and Adults, and specializes in Women’s issues, Eating Disorders, Anxiety, Depression, and couples therapy. “I enjoy helping clients to explore the issues from their early family life that may be contributing to their current struggles,” states Dr. Zeckhausen. “However, my goal is to help clients re-write the very limited and limiting stories that they tell themselves about themselves.  I am passionate about helping people discover their strengths and use those strengths to work through the internal blocks which prevent them from living life to their full potential.  Through my work with EDIN, I am able to address the wider cultural issues which contribute to eating disorders.  It is tremendously satisfying to empower people to resist pressures to be other than their authentic selves!” 

Dr. Zeckhausen received her PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of South Carolina in 1990. She sees clients in Marietta and Buckhead offices.
