Our Clinical Approach to Helping Teens with Eating Disorders
Therapy for teens that struggle with disordered eating, in addition to other mental health concerns, requires round-the-clock care and great attention to detail. Some of the program highlights that ensure teens receive the support they need include:
- A robust medical team with 24-hour nursing, psychiatric, and internal medicine staff
- Mentors and doctors specifically trained to handle emotional and physical complications related to disordered eating
- Therapists who provide a variety of clinical therapies, including CBT-E, DBT, RO-DBT, and E-EFFT, in individual, group, and family therapy settings
- A chef and dietician who collaborate to provide nutritionally balanced meals and snacks
- Educators who keep clients on track with their academic progress
- Nature-based therapy sessions, like equine, gardening, and beach-oriented therapies
- Passion project guidance that provides clients to reconnect with their interests
The Difference Between Eating Disorders & Disordered Eating
The main difference between these two diagnoses is the severity of the client’s emphasis on their weight, eating habits, and body image. Signs of an eating disorder may include obsessive thoughts about food, food rituals, withdrawal from friends and family, and co-occurring mental health issues like anxiety or depression. Some symptoms of disordered eating generally include calorie counting, strict exercise routines, anxiety about certain types of food, and inflexible meal times, even in social situations.
You might not be sure which condition your teen is facing, but Ascend is here to work with your healthcare provider and help you figure it out. We can ensure you find help for teens with eating disorders, as well as disordered eating.
