EATING DISORDERS

Here at Kennedy Counseling we treat eating disorders within a framework involving regular psychotherapy, nutritionist and doctor appointments. The team approach to treating eating disorders is essential to success. CBT is commonly used in eating disorder treatment, especially for bulimia and binge-eating disorder. You learn how to monitor and improve your eating habits and your moods, develop problem-solving skills, and explore healthy ways to cope with stressful situations.

Eating disorders are diagnosed based on signs, symptoms and eating habits. If your doctor suspects you have an eating disorder, he or she will likely perform an exam and request tests to help pinpoint a diagnosis. You may already recognize that you are suffering from an eating disorder and have taken the important step to reach out for help. We are here for you and will take the steps to help you on your road to physical and emotional health.
