Individual Therapy

Finding a therapist with the level of expertise our providers have can be difficult. If you are concerned you might have an eating disorder or need support and growth in  your recovery from an eating disorder, A New Journey offers individual therapy with a therapist on our team.

Eating disorders are far more complex than simply about food and weight. The underlying issues and current stressors can bring the onset of eating disorder symptoms. The eating disorder is merely a voice through which the mind and body express their unmet needs.

The most effective treatment for an eating disorder is psychotherapy along with medical and nutritional support and guidance. The treatment should be individually tailored, and treatment will vary depending on the severity of the disorder as well as the client's particular problems, needs and strengths.

Psychological counseling needs to address both the eating disorder symptoms and the underlying psychological, interpersonal and cultural forces that contributed to the eating disorder.

Individual therapy emphasizes insight, self-awareness and empowerment to help each client to learn about themselves and grow. In individual therapy you have an opportunity to work together to understand the meaning of symptoms and how to grow beyond the coping skills that are no longer serving you. In time you will come to trust yourself and will be better able to navigate your inner obstacles to rediscover your capacity to live a life that is healthy, joyful and free.
