Question 1

What kinds of therapy are used for Eating Disorders?

If you are trying to make sense of the options before you reach out, that is a reasonable place to start.

Question 2

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

On Alma, browse therapists in Golden 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 Golden who treat Eating Disorders to see who mentions working with doctors or dietitians.

On Alma, browse therapists in Golden who treat Eating Disorders and read how each one describes their work.

Question 5

How can therapy help if my child or partner has an Eating Disorder?

Is Eating Disorder therapy short-term or ongoing?
