Eating Disorder Therapy With a Coordinated Care Team

Eating disorders affect physical health as well as mental health, so this therapy is provided alongside ongoing medical care. With your written consent, we coordinate with the other members of your care team.

Some stages of an eating disorder need more support than private outpatient therapy can give, such as a partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient program. If your medical picture points that way, we'll tell you and help you find the right program.

In sessions, we look at what the eating behavior is helping you manage, such as anxiety, a need for control, perfectionism or family history. CBT addresses the food rules and the thinking behind them, and DBT skills help with emotional intensity. IFS is useful when the part of you enforcing the rules is trying to protect you, and somatic work helps you reconnect with body signals you've overridden for years.
