The EDCC treats all forms of eating disorders, males and females, adolescents and adults.

Payment Options: Cash/Check, Insurance, Credit Card

The EDCC provides a supportive environment with all the necessary components to help eating disorder clients cope with the underlying issues, current stressors, and biochemical factors that cause them to binge, purge, starve, and/or compulsively exercise. They utilize a multi-disciplinary treatment  approach in order to address all aspects related to an eating disorder. Through comprehensive assessment and with feedback from clients and significant others, they develop an individualized treatment plan. Individualized treatment is an essential part of the program. The daily schedule includes a variety of group therapies and activities. Attention is directed toward creating a therapeutic milieu enabling clients to support each other in appropriate ways. Using psychodynamic, educational, cognitive-behavioral, and expressive group therapy formats, clients gain insight into their underlying eating disorder issues and interpersonal skill necessary for true and lasting recovery.

"At the EDCC we believe nutrition and exercise are crucial areas of recovery. We deal with nutritional status, metabolism, and biochemistry, and teach clients what this information means in terms of their recovery. At the same time, we believe that eradicating problematic behaviors is not enough. We believe it is essential to help clients to figure out who they are when they are not influenced by their eating disorder and what it is they want for their lives. We help clients to discover what the eating disorder initially promised a person and how they can get these desires in non-destructive ways. In addition to individual, group and family therapy, we provide education, nutritional counseling, life skills training, mindfulness and spiritual enhancement.

Eating and exercise disorders are progressive and debilitating illnesses requiring medical, nutritional and psychological intervention. Individuals suffering from these disorders often need a structured environment to achieve recovery. However, all too often a person does well in a highly structured, regimented environment only to fall into relapse upon returning to a less structured situation. Our residential programs for anorexia treatment, bulimia treatment and exercise addiction treatment are designed to meet the individual needs of clients and their families in a way that gives them an increasingly higher level of responsibility and "teaches" them how to recover and sustain it. The atmosphere at Monte Nido and its affiliate programs, is professional and structured, but it is also warm, friendly, and family-like. We use highly dedicated staff members, many of whom are recovered themselves, thus serving as excellent role models. Our philosophy and environment inspires people to commit to overcoming obstacles that are interfering with the quality of their lives."

Treatment Model: There is no one right way to eat.  Many genetic and environmental factors influence energy metabolism and can complicate our relationship with food. In addition, many people struggling with weight management challenges and disordered eating still feel ambivalent about getting nutrition support.  My goal is to support your journey as you develop the ability, willingness and readiness to find food's rightful place in your own life.  The process leads to increased awareness, understanding and knowing what works for you.

She also works with Athletes, Compulsive Exercisers, Food Addiction, Binge Eating Disorder, Obesity, Compulsive Overeating, Laxative Abuse, Pica, Night Eating Syndrome, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD).

Treatment Model: Cognitive Behavioral, Needs Based Communication skills, Interpersonal Therapy and groups that offer nutrition counseling as well.

In groups and in private therapy, Colleen teaches clients how to regain their "true selves" by learning to safely express their real feelings and needs, how to reduce anxiety, regain control over food, and improve their body image.

I believe that recovery from an eating disorder is a multifaceted experience, encompassing emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of being.  I tailor each client's treatment individually based on their unique needs, combining elements of psychodynamic theory, existential/humanistic philosophy, family systems theory, and spiritual elements such as mindfulness-based practices, delivered within an active, relational here-and-now focus.
 
In my work with clients, I draw upon not only my professional training and clinical experience, but also my own personal journey of recovery from an eating disorder.  In addition to my specialization in eating disorders, I also have expertise with related issues, including addictions, depression, anxiety/stress, relationship/intimacy issues, and self-esteem.

Website: www.sydnieridleymft.com

Treatment Model:  Because each client is unique and has different needs and issues, Sydnie uses as combination of psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral and family systems to help clients recover from their eating disorder. Recovered from anorexia for over twenty years, Sydnie views eating disorders as "disorders of the self" in which eating and exercise behaviors are used as "adaptive" coping mechanisms. Believing that eating disorders are not only about food and weight, but are symptomatic of deeper, more complex issues, these "adaptive functions" need to be explored and understood through an empathic relationship between the client and the therapist in order to facilitate complete recovery. Furthermore, throughout the therapeutic process, she believes it is essential to address any medical and/or nutritional issues by using a treatment team approach when appropriate.

Sydnie treats Anorexia and Bulimia in adolescent and adult women. She also works with Athletes, Compulsive Exercisers, Binge Eating Disorder and Compulsive Overeating.

Treatment Model: I use a psychodynamic approach informed with cognitive and family systems theories. I view eating disorders as symptoms that center on food and related behaviors as "compromise coping tools." The compromise is never fully satisfying and must be understood and explored in a safe therapeutic relationship. We incorporate nutritional and medical support when appropriate. The treatment goal is to understand states of mind that lead to and trap one in an eating disorder, and to work free of the obsession with food and body image. My emphasis is in the following four areas: l. emotional regulation (anxiety, depression, anger) 2. stress (perfectionism, competitiveness) 3. body/mind integration 4. effective relationships (assertiveness, self-expression, self-esteem).

Dr. Smith treats Anorexia, Bulimia and Binge Eating Disorder; males and females, adolescents and adults.
