Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

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 Tustin who treat Eating Disorders and save the profiles that feel approachable.

Question 3

Do I need a doctor as well as a therapist for an Eating Disorder?

Accepted Answer

It makes sense to wonder who else should be involved. Ask a therapist whether they suggest medical or nutrition support alongside therapy and how they usually coordinate it, since practices differ. On Alma, read profiles of therapists in Tustin who treat Eating Disorders to see who mentions working with doctors or dietitians.

Question 4

Do I need a diagnosis to get help with my relationship with food?

Accepted Answer

If you are not sure your relationship with food counts as a problem, you can still talk to someone. You can bring concerns about food, eating, or body image to a first session, and a therapist can help you sort out what kind of support fits. On Alma, filter therapists in Tustin by insurance and format to start a short list.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

Watching someone you care about struggle with food can be exhausting. A therapist can help you with your own stress and with how to support them, so ask whether they see family members or partners. On Alma, browse therapists in Tustin who treat Eating Disorders and read profiles for who each one sees.
