List of Eating Disorders we treat...
Anorexia
People with anorexia view themselves as overweight, even if they’re dangerously underweight. They monitor their weight, avoid eating certain types of foods, and severely restrict their calories.
Bulimia
People with bulimia eat large amounts of food in short periods of time, then force vomitting. They fear gaining weight despite being at a normal weight.
AR Food Intake Disorder
Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder is an eating disorder that causes people to under eat. This is either due to a lack of interest in food or distaste for how certain foods look, smell, or taste.
Rumination
Rumination disorder can affect people at all stages of life. People with the condition generally vomit the food they’ve recently swallowed. Then, they chew it again and either swallow it or spit it out.
Binge Eating
People with binge eating disorder regularly and uncontrollably consume large amounts of food in short periods of time. Unlike people with other eating disorders, they do not purge.
Key Components of Eating Disorders Treatment
Psychotherapy
Through the groundbreaking use of integrative evidence based therapies, we help develop coping strategies for Eating Disorder Triggers, process the root causes of Eating Disorders, and develop Mental Wellness Plans for lifelong recovery from Eating Disorders
Nutritional Groups
There is strong evidence that many of the symptoms of anorexia are actually symptoms of starvation. Starvation affects the brain and influences mood changes, rigidity in thinking, anxiety and reduction in appetite. We offer nutritional courses to meet your needs and help you have a healthy relationship with food
Physical Fitness
We offer many healthy activities to promote physical fitness in a balanced way. Whether it's Yoga, Hitting the Gym, or going on a peaceful Meditative Walk, we encourage you to strengthen your body as well as your mind and spirit.
