The Four Stages of Treatment
Foundation
We develop a personalized treatment plan, identify how the eating disorder originally developed, map what currently maintains it, and safely introduce a pattern of regular eating.
Progress Review
We systematically review your early milestones, isolate any persistent psychological or environmental barriers to change, and design immediate strategies to help you manage them.
Core Issues
We address deep-seated issues maintaining the disorder, such as fear of weight gain, restrictive habits, and low self-worth. We challenge negative thoughts, replacing them with flexible, healthy alternatives.
Relapse Prevention
Our final sessions solidify the positive changes you have achieved. We co-create highly practical plans to navigate future stressful situations, social settings, or events with confidence.
