Initial Assessment

We recognize that not everyone begins this journey from the same starting point. To get a sense of an individual's goals for treatment, we send out an assessment packet to complete prior to the first meeting. The purpose of this packet is to prepare the individual for the initial assessment and the possible task of treatment. Undertaking treatment is an important decision. We want individuals to spend some time thinking about what they are seeking in a treatment experience before they arrive.

The initial assessment includes a psychological interview and medical exam. Based on the results, we present patients with an individualized treatment plan that delineates specific areas of skill development that we feel would be particularly beneficial for that patient.

Our clinic emphasizes the implementation of empirically validated treatments for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. Thus, we incorporate the most recent advances in our approach to treating these disorders.
