Treatment Philosophy: Our treatment approach provides education, support and practical feedback to help patients understand and resolve long-standing behavior patterns, habits and coping skills that have simply become too emotionally and physically expensive. In part by becoming more sensitive and compassionate with oneself, patients can learn to identify new ways of coping without also negatively affecting their bodies and/or important relationships. I prefer a team approach utilizing nutrition, psychiatry, family education and medical support when possible.

Treating Eating Disorders Since the Year: 2003

Metro Behavioral utilizes a team approach including psychotherapy, family therapy, nutritional counseling, psychiatry, medical supervision specific to eating disorders, family education and peer group support.
