Individual Therapy |
|
Each person will enter eating disorder treatment in a different place, with different needs. While we acknowledge that group therapy is critical and meaningful to the recovery process, Oliver-Pyatt Centers recognizes the eating disorder as a condition where the needs of the developing, individual self must be addressed for authentic recovery to occur. Thus, high frequency individual therapy is a top priority in our program. Each client receives a minimum of 6 individual therapy sessions per week. We incorporate CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Skills Training), and Self Psychology into our therapeutic approach.
It is important to understand whether group therapy or individual therapy is the foundation of any eating disorder treatment program you are considering. If individual therapy is promoted, it is important to understand the frequency of sessions as well as the background and training of the treatment team. |
