Our Approaches

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  Focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors related to food, weight, and body image.

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
  Combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness strategies, helping individuals regulate emotions and manage stress.

• Family-Based Therapy (FBT)
  Involves the family in treatment, particularly for adolescents, to support the recovery process and rebuild healthy relationships with food.

• Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)
  Focuses on improving interpersonal relationships and social functioning, often addressing the role relationships play in eating disorders.

• Nutrition Therapy
  Works with a registered dietitian to establish a healthy relationship with food, promote balanced eating habits, and address nutritional deficiencies.

• Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
  A technique used in CBT that involves gradually exposing individuals to feared foods or eating situations and preventing the usual disordered behaviors.

• Psychodynamic Therapy
  Focuses on uncovering underlying emotional and psychological issues that contribute to the development of an eating disorder, often exploring past trauma.

• Mindfulness and Acceptance-Based Therapies
  Encourages mindfulness, self-compassion, and acceptance, helping individuals to be more aware of their thoughts and behaviors without judgment.

• Motivational Interviewing (MI)
  A client-centered approach that helps individuals explore and resolve ambivalence toward recovery, building motivation for change.

Each treatment approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of the individual, and often, a combination of approaches is used for the most effective recovery process.
