Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions — not lifestyle choices — and they respond to the right treatment. Our compassionate team helps individuals and families navigate recovery from anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and disordered eating patterns.
Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental health condition, yet they are highly treatable when caught and addressed with the right support. At Riverside Counseling Center, we provide compassionate, non-judgmental care for individuals across the spectrum of disordered eating — from occasional binge episodes to full clinical eating disorders.
We work with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder (BED), avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), and orthorexia. Our therapists use evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Eating Disorders (CBT-E), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Recovery from an eating disorder requires addressing the psychological drivers — distorted body image, perfectionism, control, shame, anxiety, and trauma — not just food behaviors. Our therapists are experienced in helping clients develop a healthier relationship with food, their body, and themselves.
When medical monitoring or nutritional support is indicated, we coordinate care with your primary care physician or a registered dietitian to ensure your recovery is safe and comprehensive. Our psychiatrists can also address co-occurring depression, anxiety, or OCD that often accompany eating disorders.
You deserve full recovery — not just symptom management. Reach out to Riverside today to begin.
