Individual Counseling: Individual therapy is provided by therapists who specialize in anxiety, depression, and eating disorders via virtual appointments. (In person options will be available in the near future) Goals of treatment include, but are not limited to, building skills to regulate emotions, understanding and resolving underlying issues that contributed to the development of mental health issues, building healthier relationships, improving self-worth, gaining the ability to utilize effective coping strategies, and reducing fear. During the assessment process the therapist and the client will discuss additional services as listed below that may be beneficial and an important part of the treatment plan.
 
​Eating disorders are serious psychological conditions that can negatively impact health, emotions, and daily functioning. If you suspect you, or someone you know, may have an eating disorder, it’s essential to seek professional help promptly. Here are some key points about treatment options:
  1. Psychological Therapy (Psychotherapy): This is a cornerstone of treatment. It helps address the underlying emotional and behavioral aspects of eating disorders. Therapists work with individuals to develop healthier relationships with food, body image, and self-esteem.
  2. Nutrition Education: Learning about proper nutrition is crucial. Nutritionists or dietitians provide guidance on balanced eating habits, meal planning, and portion control.
  3. Medical Monitoring: Regular check-ups are essential to monitor physical health, address any complications, and ensure safe weight management.
  4. Medications: In some cases, medications may be prescribed to manage specific symptoms or co-occurring conditions.

Remember, overcoming an eating disorder takes time and effort, but many people can achieve full recovery with professional support. If you suspect you're dealing with an eating disorder, one of our qualified mental health professionals can help.
