Approaches vary, and the right fit depends on what you are dealing with and what you want from therapy. A licensed therapist can explain how they work and answer your questions before you commit.

Question 2

Can I start therapy for an Eating Disorder if I feel mixed about it?

Accepted Answer

A licensed therapist can talk with you about what you want from therapy without asking you to commit to everything at once, and you can say what you are not ready for. On Alma, compare therapists in Gainesville who treat Eating Disorders and book with one whose approach feels right.

Question 3

Can a therapist coordinate with my doctor or dietitian?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

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

Ask how they handle coordination with your doctor or dietitian when sessions are online.

Question 9

How many sessions will I need for an Eating Disorder?
