What Are Eating Disorders?

Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions characterized by disturbances in eating behaviors, body image, and attitudes toward food, weight, or shape. They can lead to significant physical, emotional, and social consequences if not addressed.

 

Common types we treat include:

• Anorexia nervosa

• Bulimia nervosa

• Binge Eating Disorder (BED)

• Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders (OSFED / EDNOS)

• Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)

 

These conditions may involve restrictive eating, overeating, purging behaviors, obsessive thoughts about weight/shape, and distressing rituals around food. They are often linked with co-occurring concerns such as anxiety, depression, or trauma.

How We Help

At Liv Associates, we take an integrative and therapeutic approach to treating eating disorders. While we do not provide meal planning or medical nutrition services, our clinicians work closely with clients on the underlying emotional, psychological, and relational factors that contribute to disordered eating

 

What Treatment Looks Like

• Comprehensive Assessment
We begin with a detailed intake to understand your history, challenges, and goals. This helps us tailor a plan to your unique needs.

 

• Therapeutic Modalities
Depending on the individual, we may integrate:
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-E)
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Family-Based Therapy (for adolescents and families)
• Internal Family Systems (IFS) or trauma-focused care (when appropriate)

 

• Collaboration with External Providers
If medical monitoring, dietetic support, or higher levels of care are required, we coordinate with trusted physicians, dietitians, or specialized programs to ensure continuity and safety.

 

• Ongoing Support & Relapse Prevention
Therapy focuses on developing healthier coping skills, addressing body image concerns, regulating emotions, and building resilience for long-term recovery.

• Client agency & collaboration — You guide the pace; we provide structure and support.
