Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for ED’s
Breaking the cycles that keep eating disorders going.
Maybe you've tried to change your eating on your own, or with general therapy, and keep ending up back in the same place. Eating disorders tend to sustain themselves: restriction leads to bingeing, worry about your body leads to more rules, and each step makes the next one feel necessary. CBT-E is designed to interrupt those cycles directly, which is often what makes lasting change possible.
CBT-E is an evidence-based therapy developed specifically for eating disorders. Rather than focusing on one diagnosis, it targets the patterns that keep eating disorders going, so it can help with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and OSFED alike. Judith is trained in CBT-E and pairs it with a warm, person-centered style and a Health At Every Size approach, tailoring each step to you.
