My Approach to Nutrition Therapy

Approximately 13% of adolescents will develop an eating disorder by the age of 20.  Eating disorders are a serious psychiatric illness that generally develops during adolescence.  Eating disorders are among this highest mortality rates of any psychiatric illness.

For those who qualify, I am able to provide guideance on Family Based Treatment  (FBT).  FBT is a treatment option which allows for children and adolescents with an eating disorder to remain at home, instead of going to a higher level of care.  This is utilized for parenteal oversight to disrupt this psychiatric illness so the child may restore to normal development and prevent a relapse.
