Caregivers are supported in responding effectively while maintaining a strong, connected relationship with their child.

Meal support can be offered individually or in collaboration with families and treatment teams, depending on client needs.

Modalities Used:
CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. In our work together, CBT helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and beliefs that may contribute to anxiety, disordered eating, or self-criticism, while building more supportive and flexible ways of thinking. This approach emphasizes practical tools and skills that support emotional regulation and day-to-day coping, without focusing on weight or appearance
DBT is a skills-based approach that supports individuals in managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive behaviors, and improving relationships. DBT emphasizes both acceptance and change, helping clients build skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. This modality is especially helpful for clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck in cycles of emotional reactivity, or are working toward greater stability in eating disorder recovery.
ACT helps clients develop a different relationship with difficult thoughts, emotions, and urges rather than trying to eliminate them. ACT encourages values-based living, self-compassion, and psychological flexibility, supporting clients in moving toward what matters most to them—even in the presence of discomfort. This approach is particularly supportive in recovery work, where learning to tolerate uncertainty and reconnect with personal values can be an important part of healing.
ABFT focuses on strengthening relationships between caregivers and children or adolescents by addressing patterns of disconnection, misunderstanding, or emotional distance. This approach supports families in rebuilding trust, improving communication, and fostering emotional safety. ABFT is especially effective when working with adolescents and young adults experiencing eating disorders, depression, or anxiety, as it emphasizes the role of secure relationships in long-term healing and recovery
