Types of therapy for eating disorders
While there is no one-size-fits-all treatment for eating disorders, eating disorder therapists can use a wide range of therapy methods to help you recover:
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT helps people to identify and change negative thoughts and behaviors that are contributing to their eating disorder.
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): DBT teaches people skills to manage their emotions, regulate their behavior, and build relationships that can comprehensively help you overcome eating disorders.
- Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT): IPT helps people to improve their relationships and communication skills, which can sometimes play a part in why people have eating disorders.
- Nutritional counseling: Nutritional counseling can help people to learn about healthy eating and develop healthy eating habits that create a better relationship with food.
- Medication: In some cases, medication management may be used to treat the symptoms of an eating disorder. We have an in-house psychiatric nurse practitioner who we can consult if needed to see if medication could help.
Eating disorder therapy can also help you to develop a healthier relationship with food and your body. The best treatment plan for each person will vary depending on the person’s unique needs and circumstances, including if someone has trauma, anxiety, depression, or other symptoms that can be treated with other types of therapy.
