In the spirit of healing and engaging a whole recovery, we encourage involvement from family, friends, and partners in your treatment. Family therapy is an essential component of recovery from an eating disorder. Successful healing means more than just stopping behaviors: It means being back in your life in a connected way, including the relationships that are most important to you.

Family therapy sessions are 75 minutes in length, typically once per week.

COUPLE THERAPY

Whether you are dating, living together, or married, couples therapy can provide a critical intervention to strengthen the intimate bond and identify trouble spots in communication patterns. This is especially useful when one partner is struggling with an eating disorder, as the disorder can become a “third partner” in the relationship.

Couples Therapy sessions are 60-90 minutes in length, typically once per week, and often for a limited period of time.

PARENT AND CAREGIVER SUPPORT GROUP
