The following resources are general resources. The resources are intended to complement, not replace, professional medical advice.

If you suffer from an eating disorder, we will require that you get a medical evaluation to ensure that you’re safe to proceed with outpatient treatment. We can make recommendations for providers to see in the community. If you prefer to see your own medical doctor, please take this document with you and ask the provider to review and run labs on page 10: Eating Disorder Medical Care Guidelines.

Medical providers, we highly recommend the following book for better understanding the medical assessment and management of eating disorders: Eating Disorders: A Guide to Medical Care and Complications by Philip S. Mehler & Arnold E. Andersen

 

Anorexia and other Eating Disorders: How to help your child eat well and be well: Practical solutions, compassionate communication tools, and emotional support for parents of children and teenagers

We love using mental health apps with our clients! It’s a great way to keep you connected to the work you’re doing in therapy in between appointments. The more you use skills and strategies in between sessions, the more likely you’ll see improvements over time. Many of the apps below have been created by the government in the VA system, but are open to the public for anyone to use. We really like them because they are based in evidence-based treatments.

Most of these apps are recommended to be used in conjunction with your in-person therapy. Many of these apps are not intended to be used as self-help resources.
