Family-Based Treatment
Family-Based Treatment (FBT) is an evidence-based therapy for eating disorders that empowers families to support recovery at home. It involves structured phases to restore weight, normalize eating patterns, and address psychological challenges. Ideal for adolescents and young adults, FBT leverages parental involvement to interrupt harmful behaviors and foster long-term remission through collaborative care.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy addresses anxiety, depression, and eating disorders using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques. Tailored for ages 9-25, sessions focus on symptom resolution, coping strategies, and emotional wellness. Parents receive regular updates to ensure continuity of care, with treatment durations ranging from short-term interventions to ongoing support for chronic conditions.
Parent Consultations
Parent consultations provide guidance for managing eating disorders and mental health challenges. Available via in-person, phone, or video sessions, this service educates families on evidence-based strategies, meal support, and relapse prevention. Designed for local and remote families, it emphasizes collaboration to create structured recovery environments aligned with clinical best practices.
Family Consultations
Multi-day family consultations offer intensive treatment planning for eating disorders. Includes comprehensive evaluations, structured meal support strategies, and written recovery plans. Families travel to Coral Gables for 2-5 days of personalized sessions, ensuring alignment on therapeutic goals and practical implementation of care protocols tailored to the patient's specific needs.
Anxiety Treatment
Specialized anxiety treatment combines CBT and ACT to address obsessive-compulsive behaviors, phobias, and generalized anxiety. Focuses on skill-building for emotion regulation, exposure therapy, and family education.
