Eating disorders impact not only your mind/thoughts but also can be medically and nutritionally impacting. The importance of having a treatment team, helps to ensure your body is getting the proper nourishment and is medically stable which will be discussed with your dietitian and then your therapist will work with you on your emotions and thoughts around your eating disorder and other co-occurring concerns. Your team will communicate with each other to ensure you are getting the best quality of care possible.

Can group therapy be helpful if I am already attending individual therapy?
