Therapy for eating disorders

Eating disorders are serious but treatable, and care often involves a team. Therapists may use enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT-E), and family-based treatment (FBT) is well supported for adolescents. Because eating disorders affect the body as well as the mind, therapists frequently coordinate with a physician and a registered dietitian to keep care safe and complete.

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and other patterns of disordered eating, and they affect people of every body size, gender, and background. Early support improves outcomes, so if eating, exercise, or body image is taking up a lot of mental space, the providers below work with eating disorders and can help you take a first step. If you need immediate support, the National Alliance for Eating Disorders helpline is available at 1-866-662-1235.
