Adolescent
Eating Disorder Therapy
Adolescence is a time of change, discovery, and growth, but for many teens, it’s also a time of increased pressure around food, appearance, and identity. At Body Liberation Collective, we specialize in adolescent eating disorder therapy, offering a safe and affirming space for teens to explore their relationship with food and their bodies.
Why Specialized Care Matters for Teens
Eating disorders often emerge during adolescence, and early intervention can make a profound difference. Teens face unique challenges, such as peer influence, social media pressures, identity development, and family dynamics that require a nuanced approach. Our therapists are trained to recognize these complexities and provide care that is both developmentally appropriate and deeply compassionate.
Our Approach
We take a HAES-aligned, trauma-informed, and affirming approach to treatment. Therapy may include:
Individual sessions to explore food, body image, and identity struggles.
Family involvement, when helpful, to create supportive home environments.
Modalities like CBT-E, DBT-E, ACT, Body Trust, tailored to each teen’s needs.
Space to process trauma, anxiety, depression, or other co-occurring concerns.
We provide affirming and inclusive care
We are LGBTQ+ affirming, fat-positive, and culturally aware. We know how important it is for young people to feel accepted in all aspects of who they are. Our therapy prioritizes building trust, resilience, and self-compassion, so teens can move toward a healthier relationship with themselves.
