Treatments We Offer
Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual. We use the most current, research-backed approaches in eating disorder care.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based, goal-oriented treatment that helps you break unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for ARFID (CBT-AR)
It is a specialized skills-based treatment designed to help children, adolescents, and adults who struggle with Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-E)
The leading outpatient treatment for anorexia and bulimia in adults — and binge eating disorder targeting the over-evaluation of shape and weight that maintains eating disorders.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is an evidence-based treatment designed for teens and adults recovering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or trauma-related distress.
Dialectical & Behavior Therapy (DBT)
A skills-based approach to managing intense emotions and reducing harmful behaviors — particularly effective for binge eating disorder, emotional eating, and bulimia nervosa.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy Prolonged Exposure (DBT-PE)
DBT-PE is a specialized protocol that combines the emotion regulation and mindfulness skills of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with the targeted trauma-processing techniques of Prolonged Exposure (PE).
Family-Based Treatment (FBT)
Maudsley FBT — the gold standard for anorexia and bulimia in adolescents.
Feeling Body Investigation (FBI)
FBI is a playful approach to interoceptive exposure designed specifically for ARFID. Children with ARFID often experience intense anxiety or disgust triggered by normal physical sensations leading to severe food restriction.
Individual Therapy
Evidence-based individual therapy for eating disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, and related conditions — tailored to your needs and grounded in current research.
Intake & Diagnostic Evaluation
Navigating the mental health journey can feel overwhelming, but clarity begins with a clear map. Before starting therapy, a Comprehensive Assessment and Diagnostic Evaluation helps build a personalized foundation for your care.
Parent & Caregiver Coaching
You are the most powerful resource in your child's recovery. Coaching gives you the knowledge, tools, and support to step into that role with confidence.
Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE)
When a child struggles with severe anxiety, OCD, or food avoidance, parent accommodations often trap families in an exhausting cycle. SPACE helps parents step out of this loop and restore balance to the household.
Temperament-Based Therapy with Support (TBT-S)
Temperament-Based Therapy with Support (TBT-S) is a neurobiologically informed, skills-based intervention developed primarily for eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. TBT-S teaches patients and their loved ones how to work with their genetically driven temperament traits rather than fighting against them.
Unified Protocol Therapy (UP)
The Unified Protocol (UP) is an evidence-based form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy designed to treat anxiety, depression, and mood disorders through one streamlined approach. Instead of focusing on a single diagnosis, UP targets the shared root cause of emotional distress: difficulty tolerating and regulating intense, uncomfortable feelings.

Therapy for Solutions is a self-pay practice and does not take insurance directly. We provide a Superbill (itemized receipt) after each session so you can submit it to your insurance provider for out-of-network reimbursement.
Family-Based Treatment (FBT) is an evidence-based, 3-phase therapy that empowers parents to support their teenager’s eating disorder recovery directly at home.
FBT for teens is a parent-led therapy where parents take charge of meals and support recovery at home, whereas adult treatment (like CBT-E) is an individual therapy where the adult works directly with the therapist, with family involved only occasionally for extra support.
I am an out-of-network provider, which allows me to provide dedicated, highly specialized care without insurance restrictions. I provide detailed monthly statements (superbills) that you can submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your plan.
Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate Under federal law, health care providers must give clients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected bill for medical items and services—including psychotherapy. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency services. For more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit cms.gov/nosurprises.
