An increasing number of people are grappling with disordered eating or diagnosed eating disorders, a trend that is concerning and underscores the importance of awareness and treatment.
Eating disorders can manifest through various warning signs, including noticeable weight fluctuations, discomfort eating around others, an intense focus on weight loss and controlling food intake, a deep fear of gaining weight, frequent checking in the mirror for perceived flaws, and low self-esteem tied to body shape and size. It's important to recognize that these are just a few indicators; eating disorders vary widely in how they present in individuals.
For those struggling with an eating disorder, we offer a supportive and multifaceted approach to treatment. This includes both psychiatric care and dietitian services to develop suitable nutritional plans and goals. We also emphasize the effectiveness of family therapy, particularly using the eco-systemic model, in treating eating disorders.
We urge anyone noticing disordered eating behaviors, tendencies, or significant body image distress to seek support. Our goal is to provide a safe, affirming space where you can openly share your experiences and identify your needs. We work with you to create a treatment plan that respects your autonomy and emphasizes your inherent strength and bravery as key components of recovery.
We understand the intense loneliness often associated with eating disorders and the profound impact negative body image can have on identity and self-worth. By adopting a strength-based approach, our clinicians leverage your resilience and courage as the foundation for your treatment.
