Services for Teens

We work with teens who are experiencing eating disorders and their families. When it comes to a teen experiencing disordered eating, early intervention is crucial. We collaborate with both the teen and parents/caregivers to better understand the eating disorder, develop a treatment plan, and provide support every step along the way.

Parents and caregivers are an invaluable resource, providing support, guidance and encouragement throughout the recovery process. Parent involvement in therapy sessions, meal planning, and ongoing monitoring of behaviors can greatly contribute to the success of treatment and long-term recovery.

Concerned your child might be experiencing an eating disorder? Contact us to book an assessment. Signs that a teen may have an eating disorder include noticeable weight loss or fluctuation, preoccupation with food or body image, avoiding social events involving food, making excuses to avoid eating, hiding food, obsessive calorie counting, constant weighing, frequent trips to the bathroom after eating, excessive preoccupation with appearance or body weight, social withdrawal, anxiety or depression, and/or wearing baggy clothing to hide weight loss.
