Question 1

How do I choose a therapy approach for an Eating Disorder?

You do not have to pick a method first: a licensed therapist can explain how they work and how it would fit your situation.

Question 2

What if I am not sure I want to change my eating yet?

Feeling unsure about changing your eating is a reasonable thing to bring to a first session. Tell the therapist what feels hard to give up and what worries you, and ask how they work with mixed feelings. On Alma, browse therapists in Carlsbad who treat Eating Disorders and save the profiles that feel approachable.

Question 3

Should a doctor or dietitian be part of Eating Disorder care too?

Accepted Answer

Whether a doctor or dietitian should be involved is a fair question to raise early. Sometimes coordinated care is part of the plan, so ask a licensed therapist what they recommend for your situation and how they work with other providers. On Alma, filter therapists in Carlsbad who treat Eating Disorders and read how each one describes working with a care team.

Question 4

Can therapy help with body image concerns?

Accepted Answer

Body image is something you can work on with a therapist who treats Eating Disorders, so ask how they approach it. On Alma, read profiles of therapists in Carlsbad and save the ones that feel like a fit.

Question 5

Can I see a therapist about a loved one's Eating Disorder?
