Who is Treated and What to Expect: Psychotherapy for Individuals, Couples, Families and Groups; Adolescent Mixed Eating Disorder Support Group; Family Support Group for Parents/Caregivers of Those Suffering With An Eating Disorder; Adolescent Art Therapy - Hour long sessions using drawing, painting, beading, poetry, work with clay and collage encourage and support participants to connect with and express thoughts and feelings in a safe and non-judgmental environment. As noted by the American Art Therapy Association art therapy is "based on the belief that the creative process involved in artistic self-expression helps people to resolve conflicts and problems, develop interpersonal skills, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self- esteem and self-awareness, and achieve insight." Benefits of Adolescent Group Art Therapy: Facilitates the productive use of creativity and the unspoken word; builds supportive interpersonal relationships and skills; benefits are to both the individual and the group as a whole. Exploration of one's art opens up the opportunity for group members to experience empathy. Group members' share, support and validate one another's experiences. Participants learn to trust themselves and others in a safe environment.

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.
