Monika Ostroff, LICSW, CEDS-S (Healing My Parts | she/they)
Bio
Monika Ostroff is a licensed clinical social worker, Certified Eating Disorder Specialist & Supervisor, Founder of Healing My Parts, and member of a DID system. With more than 30 years of clinical experience, she has developed and led behavioral health and eating disorder programs across all levels of care and currently serves as Executive Director of the Multi-Service Eating Disorders Association (MEDA).
Through Healing My Parts, Monika brings together clinical expertise and lived experience to provide education, consultation, training, and practical resources focused on DID/OSDD, complex trauma, eating disorders, and the intersection of eating disorders and dissociation. She is the creator and host of the Healing My Parts podcast, which ranks among the top 10% of podcasts globally, and writes the bestselling Healing My Parts Substack, where she translates complex clinical concepts into accessible, practical—and slightly irreverent (possibly feral)—education for systems and the clinicians who work with them.
Monika is the author of Anorexia Nervosa: A Guide to Recovery and a contributing author to Self-Harm Behavior and Eating Disorders. Her work has been featured on 60 Minutes, NPR, and at national conferences. She is passionate about changing the narrative around DID/OSDD, reducing stigma, and helping clinicians understand and work with systems in ways that are practical, respectful, and genuinely system-affirming.
