Eating Disorder Therapy in Los Angeles, California

When people struggle with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, or other eating disorders, they need a skilled facility that offers multiple types of therapy. The treatment center should offer a multi-faceted approach including different types of eating disorder therapy. Our eating disorder-trained professionals work with the men and women who attend our treatment programs to find the underlying issues that may have led to their disordered eating habits. This works for a diverse population of people, no matter which eating disorder they have.

What is Eating Disorder Therapy?

Eating disorder therapy is comprised of several different therapeutic approaches that prove helpful for a diverse population of people. When an individual begins treatment for an eating disorder, a full assessment will be made in order to create an individually tailored approach. This allows each man and woman to enjoy multiple benefits from talk therapy, holistic therapy, nutrition counseling, and more. This type of transdiagnostic approach proves more effective than just using one type of therapy.

Types of Eating Disorder Therapies in Los Angeles, California

Trellis Recovery Centers offers multiple types of eating disorder therapy proven to be effective when used to treat men and women. Each type of therapy serves the purpose of teaching patients to focus on healing. It also empowers them to participate in their recoveries.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

The purpose of CBT is to teach people to recognize their distorted thoughts and how they influence their behaviors. From there, the person can problem-solve and be prepared to make better choices when faced with potentially triggering feelings or situations. In turn, this allows them to cut back on choosing eating-disordered behaviors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Modified from CBT, DBT teaches people to identify and regulate their emotions. This provides them with the ability to view their emotions in a more realistic manner, avoid knee-jerk reactions, and make better choices when it comes to food and related eating-disordered behaviors.

Holistic Therapy

A holistic approach to treatment involves understanding the connection between the mind, body, and spirit. The belief is that all three are connected, and when one is out of line, the others become affected. Treating them as a whole through activities like yoga, meditation, and acupuncture brings about progress in all areas.

Individual Psychotherapy

Individual therapy takes place between a therapist trained in treating eating disorders and their patient. These valuable sessions allow the individual a safe space to talk about their thoughts, feelings, and fears. They learn to understand the root causes of their eating disorders and techniques to help them embrace recovery.

Group
Therapy

Group therapy for eating disorders involves a supportive and structured therapeutic setting where individuals with eating disorders come together to share their experiences, challenges, and triumphs. Led by a trained therapist, group therapy provides a safe space for participants to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related to their eating disorder.

Family
Therapy

We keep the patient's family support system informed of their progress. This allows the entire family to understand the intricacies of eating disorders and how they can best help their loved one to heal. Family therapists teach families how to communicate more effectively, which strengthens their relationships.

Somatic
Therapy

A type of holistic therapy, somatic therapy helps people understand how the combination of thoughts, feelings, and beliefs can influence their dietary choices and physical health. Somatic therapy can be particularly effective for someone who has an eating disorder and has experienced trauma.

Nutrition
Counseling

When someone has spent months or years enveloped in the world of eating disorders, they develop false beliefs about nutrition. Nutrition counseling teaches the person to understand what their bodies need and how to eat for their particular requirements. This helps to take the stigma off fear foods. It also introduces the person to a wide variety of delicious ways to get the nutritional intake they need.

Benefits of Eating Disorder Therapy

An important benefit of eating disorder therapy comes from seeing several different types of eating disorder-trained professionals. Each one specializes in an area of training that teaches men and women how to open their minds to recovery and move toward it. Many benefits can be attained by receiving treatment from the following specialists:

  • Therapists
  • Psychiatrists
  • Medical Doctors
  • Nurses (RN and LVN)
  • Registered Dietitians (RD)
  • Mental Health Workers

Family-focused care allows the family to be aware of how their loved one is progressing during treatment. It can also provide the benefit of having family days in which the family unit is reunited during the treatment process. Family therapists teach the family to communicate more effectively. Additionally, they learn how to offer support to their loved ones when they return home.
