Eating Disorders

Eating disorders and disordered eating are mental health conditions that impact your relationship with food as well as how you see yourself, also referred to as body image.  Treatment for eating disorders and disordered eating includes individual psychotherapy to identify and address/change the emotions, thoughts and behaviors about food.  Eating disorders can have significant impacts on physical and mental health.  Options for psychotherapy, determined upon assessment, include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and nutritional counseling, sometimes in conjunction with medication (prescribed by an outside provider).  The good news is that while the treatment takes time, it is possible, there is hope.
