CBT-E

CBT-E stands for Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It is based on a transdiagnostic view of eating disorders, which looks at the underlying and common factors of all the eating disorders we treat. Within its concept and structure lies the capacity to understand and address and array of eating disorder problems in an effective way. 

CBT-E is the leading evidenced based treatment for eating disorder care for adults. It uses the foundational elements of classical CBT and applies them to eating disorders. Focus on behavioral changes around food and body image are key components, as are the dysfunctional thoughts and beliefs that maintain eating disorders. CBT-E is collaborative and entails active participation both within and outside of the session. CBT-E is intended to be short term. While we can't guarantee the exact number of sessions, we will ensure that we hope to help in shorter time frame that CBT in general allows. Therapy can last from anywhere to 3 months or more, depending on a host of factors.
