What to Expect From Eating Disorder Outpatient Counseling

Treatment approaches which are holistic are the most beneficial:

  1. Holistic meaning treatment approaches which are all encompassing with focus on the body-mind & spirit.
  2. Nutritionist: Your counselor will likely make recommendations for a Nutritionist who is an expert with Eating Disorders.
  3. Communication between helping professionals, i.e. primary medical practitioner, nutritionist and eating disorder specialist/therapist, is important for continuity of care.
  4. Time: Eating disorder treatment takes time so be patient and consistent with therapy.
  5. Medically Stable: Potential clients for outpatient counseling must be medically stable. If health becomes unstable, other, more intensive, treatment approaches will be considered.
  6. Frequency: Outpatient individual counseling is for medically stable clients who can thrive with a one or two appointment per week treatment schedule.
