Treatment Crash-Course:
What can I expect with a loved one in eating disorder treatment?

2nd & 4th Tuesday of every month
6:30 - 8PM PT
$80 per Zoom registration

Whether you are considering higher levels of care treatment options for your loved one or are already going through it, this is an opportunity to increase your understanding of what treatment is, who is involved, and what happens day to day.

The scariest part of treatment is not knowing what to expect.
I have a decade of experience working in treatment at all levels of care from outpatient to residential (RTC), both in-person and virtual settings, in many roles including Clinical Director. I have worked with patients as young as 8 of all genders seeking care for severe mental health diagnoses, substance use, and eating disorders and supported countless families through the process.

What I have observed is how tricky it can be for families to navigate the treatment world and how little support there can be in learning the ins and outs.

In this crash-course, you will learn about:

• The structure of treatment and each level of care
• Who makes up the treatment team and their specific role
• What a day in treatment looks like and how skills are taught
• What you can do at home to increase support

This 90-minute workshop will conclude with a 30-minute Q&A.
You will receive a digital packet of resources and tools that can be used in supporting your loved one.

  • This is a one-time drop-in group designed to provide a foundational understanding of how treatment works. Should you be looking for a more in-depth understanding of treatment and ongoing support while a loved-one is in treatment, please use the Contact form to see how we can work together!

  • This group is for any parent, guardian, or caregiver who has someone they care for entering treatment and wants to gain a greater understanding of what their experience may look like as well as how they can increase support if you live in the same home. If you are still unsure if this group is a fit for you, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly!

  • Yes! If you are registered and would like to change dates, please send me an email with the date you registered for and the date you would prefer to attend instead.

  • While many treatment programs are structured similarly and a lot of the information may still be applicable, the majority of this group will be focused on eating disorder-specific treatment programs.

    A group pertaining to other forms of treatment (substance use, mental health only) maybe become available down the road.

    If you are interested in one-to-one consultation on these types of treatment, please reach out to me via the Contact form to see if I may be able to support.
