Services
Individual Therapy
Tailored therapy sessions for pre-teens, teens, and young adults addressing anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and self-injury. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques, treatment focuses on symptom resolution, coping strategies, and long-term wellness. Sessions begin with comprehensive assessments involving family members to create individualized care plans.
Family-Based Treatment
Structured three-phase program for eating disorder recovery that empowers families as primary treatment partners. Phase I focuses on parental meal supervision, Phase II transitions to patient independence, and Phase III addresses psychological recovery. Proven more effective than individual therapy for adolescent eating disorders through clinical trials.
Parent Consultations
One-hour sessions providing parents with evidence-based strategies for supporting recovery. Available in-person or via secure video conferencing for remote families. Consultations cover meal support techniques, behavior management, and relapse prevention planning to strengthen home-based care.
