Clinically backed treatment approaches for eating disorders
We leverage scientifically validated therapies that are tailored to individual needs:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT helps address thoughts related to food that may interfere with recovery. It identifies and changes unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that maintain emotional difficulties. It also examines connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions, then develops strategies to challenge negative thought patterns and modify problematic behaviors.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
ACT helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them. It teaches mindfulness to create distance from troubling thoughts while clarifying personal values and committing to aligned behaviors. ACT builds psychological flexibility by focusing on presence, acceptance, and meaningful action.
Family Based Treatment
FBT is an effective treatment for eating disorders that involves the family in the recovery process. It empowers loved ones to support their family member's weight restoration and emotional well-being. The therapy is structured in phases, ultimately promoting independence while fostering a supportive family environment for lasting recovery.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
DBT helps people handle their emotions and improve their relationships. It includes one-on-one sessions and group classes, teaching skills like mindfulness, dealing with stress, managing feelings, and communicating. Most importantly, it provides skills to manage emotions without using food.
Intuitive Eating
Intuitive Eating is a post-weight-stabilization therapy that helps individuals reconnect with their body's natural hunger and fullness signals. This approach rejects diet culture, honors physical hunger, and promotes peace with food while teaching clients to distinguish between emotional and physical eating needs through mindful consumption practices.
