Why Choose Eating Disorder Therapy?
Reclaiming the delicate balance between your mind and body is the first step towards recovery from eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and body dysmorphia. Our treatment approach offers a range of benefits designed to support your healing journey, including nutritional counseling and therapy that delivers these great benefits.
Physical health is just as important as mental health — and eating disorders can lead to a variety of physical health complications including malnutrition, electrolyte imbalances, and heart problems. Our treatment plan focuses on addressing any medical concerns, improving nutrition, and restoring your natural set point. We also collaborate with a team of professionals, including registered dietitians and physicians, to ensure your physical well-being.
Eating disorders are often rooted in emotional distress, such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Through therapy sessions with experienced therapists specializing in eating disorders, you’ll learn healthy coping mechanisms to manage difficult emotions and develop a more positive self-image. This can lead to a significant reduction in anxiety, depression, and other mental health symptoms.
Food should make you feel good. After all, food is medicine for the body. However, eating disorders can create a distorted view of food and a fear of eating. Our treatment plan helps you develop a healthy relationship with food and focus more on intuitive eating and mindful nourishment. You’ll learn to identify hunger and fullness cues, make balanced food choices, and enjoy the pleasure of eating without guilt or shame.
Loving your body is the first step toward a healthy mind and body connection. But eating disorders can lead to body dysmorphia and a negative self-image. Through therapy and support at Juniper Blu, you’ll learn to challenge negative body thoughts and develop a more realistic and accepting view of your body. This can also lead to increased self-confidence and a greater appreciation for your body.
At Juniper Blu, our comprehensive treatment plan equips you with the skills and knowledge to manage your eating disorder and prevent relapse. You’ll learn relapse prevention strategies, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and build a strong support system to help you maintain your recovery in the long term.
We’re all social creatures — and avoiding social interactions can lead to greater mental health issues. That said, eating disorders can strain relationships and make it difficult to participate in social activities. Through therapy and support, you’ll develop healthy communication skills and learn to navigate social situations with confidence. This can lead to stronger relationships and a more fulfilling social life.
