Psychological Assessment:
Prior to engaging in psychological services, you/your child should undergo a medical examination by a pediatrician or family doctor to rule out physical causes for emotional and/or behavioural symptoms.
Following this, a comprehensive psychological evaluation is completed, lasting from 2-4 sessions. At the end of the evaluation, initial impressions and a working diagnosis are formulated. A treatment plan is then developed, tailored to your specific needs. If you/your child presents with an eating disorder, we can provide you with a nutritional assessment and treatment plan.
Eating Disorder Treatment:
FBT - Family Based Treatment For Restrictive Eating Disorders
FBT consists of three phases across 20 treatment sessions over a 12-month period. The main difference between FBT and traditional eat disorder treatments is that parents are seen as a key resource in assisting their child to recover.
Treatment for ARFID- CBT-AR/FBT
Because possible signs of ARFID can be so hard to interpret, it’s important to get a thorough evaluation from an experienced eating disorder specialist.
The primary treatment goals of CBT-AR are to achieve or maintain a healthy weight, correct any nutritional deficiencies, eat foods from each of the five basic food groups and feel more comfortable eating in social situations.
Family-based treatment (FBT) has been effective in the treatment of anorexia nervosa. Using a similar rationale for ARFID, families are educated and taught to support their children in increasing dietary volume and dietary variety through repetitive exposure to new foods.
CBT-E-Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Enhanced
FBT consists of three phases across 20 treatment sessions over a 12-month period. The main difference between FBT and traditional eat disorder treatments is that parents are seen as a key resource in assisting their child to recover.
