Eating disorder therapy is a specialized approach aimed at assisting those who are grappling with a range of eating disorders. These disorders are significant mental health conditions characterized by irregular or unhealthy eating patterns and an intense focus on body weight and shape. Common conditions addressed in Eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).
At Thriveworks, Eating disorders begins with a thorough assessment and personalized treatment plan. Central to eating disorder therapy is psychotherapy, often employing cognitive behavioral therapy and other specialized techniques to target negative thought patterns.
The signs of an eating disorder can include:
CBT’s remission rate, according to some research, is generally between 50-30% for those seeking assistance for eating disorder symptoms.
The recovery rate for those seeking assistance with eating disorders depends entirely on the individual’s involvement in sessions, the severity of their symptoms, and their willingness to change their eating habits and relationship with food.
Eating disorder therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of Eating disorders will vary from one person to the next, dependent on their specific needs. Your therapist can help to determine what might be most beneficial for you.

Traumatic events have also been linked to eating disorders, especially those involving experiences that resulted in physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, or even experiences that caused guilt, shame, or loss of confidence.
Your genes can influence your likelihood of developing these disorders as well. If you have one or more than one family member suffering from them, you are more likely to develop the disorders.
Other mental health issues can also influence whether you have anorexia or bulimia. One symptom of depression is the drive to eat more or to totally avoid food. However, it should also be mentioned you can have depression not related to an eating disorder at all.
