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?

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

Question 3

Can a therapist coordinate with my doctor or dietitian?

Accepted Answer

Keeping everyone on the same page can take some of the weight off you. With your consent, a therapist can coordinate with your doctor or dietitian, so ask how they handle it and what they share. On Alma, browse therapists in Piscataway who treat Eating Disorders and ask about coordination when you reach out.

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 Piscataway by insurance and format to start a short list.

Question 5

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