Our Approach to Eating Disorder Therapy:

At Good Therapy San Diego, we take a holistic and client-centered approach to eating disorder therapy. 

Our experienced therapists work with individuals to:

  1. Assessment: We conduct a comprehensive assessment to understand the unique factors contributing to the eating disorder and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to the individual’s needs, goals, and preferences.
  2. Nutritional Counseling: We collaborate with registered dietitians and nutritionists to provide evidence-based nutritional education, meal planning, and support to help individuals establish balanced and nourishing eating habits.
  3. Therapeutic Techniques: We utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques and modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to address the emotional, psychological, and behavioral aspects of the eating disorder.
  4. Body Image Work: We help individuals challenge and reframe negative body image beliefs, develop greater body acceptance and appreciation, and cultivate a more compassionate and respectful relationship with their bodies.
  5. Relapse Prevention: We equip individuals with relapse prevention skills and strategies to identify triggers, cope with cravings and urges, and maintain progress in recovery over the long term.
