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.
Just as illnesses like cancer or diabetes take their toll on people’s minds as well as their bodies, mental illnesses can pose a threat to people’s physical bodies. Eating disorders are a good example of how people are whole-beings. Our minds, bodies, and souls are interconnected, and when an eating disorder develops, it often has both physical and emotional causes. That means, treatment must involve physical as well as emotional interventions.
And effective interventions are available—interventions that address people’s minds and bodies. Physicians and counselors and nutritionists can work together to provide holistic care. Seeing the problem and asking for help may just be the first steps in the healing journey. If you are feeling the strain of an eating disorder, the eating disorder counselors and therapists at Thriveworks Newark are ready to help. We give holistic and individualized care and have helped many clients find the right treatment for their eating disorder. Reach out today for help.
