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.

DBT- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy

DBT allows young people to learn a variety of skills in the following areas: mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness and distress tolerance.  DBT seeks to balance two concepts that may appear to be quite opposite; acceptance and change.

CBT - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

​​Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a short-term treatment (8-12 sessions) that can be highly effective for many disorders including childhood anxiety, depression, and explosive anger disorders

ERP - Exposure Response Prevention

ERP exposes youth to the things that trigger their anxiety in structured, incremental steps, in a safe setting. As they become accustomed to each of the triggers, the anxiety fades, and they are ready to take on increasingly more challenging ones.
