Therapy & Support For Caregivers
Having a loved one receive treatment for an eating disorder can be a whirlwind process that is tricky at best, and often confusing, overwhelming, and isolating. I offer the emotional support that parents and caregivers should have through the process while also helping you navigate the ins and outs of the treatment world.
I offer 3 forms of support:
1) Treatment Crash-Course - a one-time drop-in workshop that offers a foundational understanding of how treatment works and what to expect.
2) Consultation Call - a 30-minute 1:1 Zoom call to discuss concerns or ask questions about the treatment experience, whether you are exploring the idea of a loved one admitting to treatment or have already begun and are seeking additional guidance.
3) Therapy & Coaching - Ongoing weekly or biweekly therapy sessions to receive the emotional support and guidance you deserve whether your loved one is in treatment or transitioning out.
This is also a great option for loved ones who are looking for ways to make changes at home through having a better understanding of where disordered eating comes from and how language can be a huge catalyst for change. I provide education on everything from shifting language around food and body image to the basics of Intuitive Eating and food freedom.
The treatment process can be confusing and isolating.
I worked in treatment for nearly a decade at all levels of care, working in all roles from Support Staff to Primary Therapy to Clinical Director. I have assisted in building new programs and restructuring old ones. What I have found in every program I’ve worked at is that parents are often left in the dark. These programs are simply not structured to provide the kind of support that parents need. When your loved one is in treatment, their treatment team is focused on them; you deserve to have someone in your corner as well.
Whether it’s your own therapy or someone available to help walk you through the process, this is where I come in. You’re already doing one of the hardest things a parent can do, you don’t have to do it alone.
