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.
Bulimia and anorexia have effective treatments. Psychological, nutritional, and medical interventions can be tailored to each person’s unique symptoms and needs. The first step, however, is usually acknowledging the problem and asking for help.

When, where, and how bulimia or anorexia develops in each individual is personal and varied, but therapists often speak of two general causes of eating disorders: environmental and biological.
There are many types of eating disorders, but anorexia and bulimia are the most common and well-known. Irregular eating habits and severe pre-occupation with body shape and weight characterize all eating disorders. These irregular eating habits, for example, may look like eating far too little or far too much. Often, anxiety disorder or depression accompany eating disorders. While an eating disorder can surface at any time, they most often appear during adolescence or young adulthood. Both men and women are affected by eating disorders.
Usually known simply as anorexia, anorexia nervosa is characterized by the following criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5):
Usually known simply as bulimia, bulimia nervosa is characterized by the following criteria in DSM-5:
Well-intentioned friends and family may compliment people who struggle with anorexia or bulimia on how slim or healthy they look, but such praise may be more harmful than helpful because it encourages a potentially deadly disorder. Slim is not the same as healthy, and a host of severe health problems often accompany anorexia and bulimia, unfortunately.
People who wrestle with anorexia may also experience low blood pressure, low heart rate, abnormal heart beat, increased risk of heart disease and failure, infertility, disrupted menstrual cycles, disrupted endocrine system, anemia, premature osteoporosis, kidney damage, low white blood cells, and ultimately, death.
People who wrestle with bulimia may also experience tooth decay, ulcers, gastric rupture, gastroesophageal reflux disease, kidney damage, electrolyte imbalance, constipation, and heart failure.
