Eating disorders do not discriminate based on race, age, socioeconomic status or gender. Our individualized approach to treatment allows for factors to be considered in creating a treatment experience that will meet the individual’s unique needs and assist them in beginning or continuing recovery. Call us today at 414-727-4455 to discuss the right plan for you. We offer the following services:
Assessment Services
Your treatment always begins with a thorough personal assessment so the problem is understood. This assessment is the basis upon building the plan for treatment. This assessment will be completed by an eating disorder professional, either a psychiatrist or a therapist.
Individual Psychotherapy
By exploring underlying emotions and interpersonal factors that contribute to an eating disorder, the individual works with our therapist to replace uncontrolled behaviors and negative feelings with a strong sense of self and a positive self-esteem. Learning to identify triggers for eating disorder behavior and healthy coping mechanisms is an integral part of the psychotherapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy is the treatment of choice for dealing with eating disorder thoughts and behavior.
Group Therapy
The sharing of common experiences helps individuals alleviate feelings of shame and isolation. Outpatient groups at the REDI Clinic provide opportunities to learn from and challenge yourself and others in a group setting. Group therapy always includes a therapeutic structured meal to help replace eating disorder behaviors with healthy eating.
Nutritional Evaluation and Counseling
Our registered dietitians help individuals develop healthy, normal eating patterns through education and behavioral self-management. Nutritional counseling, education and meal planning are tailored to each individual client's needs to help them to interrupt symptom use and regain trust in their body's ability to regulate eating.
Family and Couples Therapy
Eating disorders impact both individuals and family systems, family therapy can help to address the relational implications of eating disorders. Education, enhancement of communication and boundary setting are sometimes goals of family therapy.
Family Based Treatment
Family-based therapy offers an opportunity for families to be intensively involved in the rehabilitative process of decreasing eating disorder symptom use and re-establish regular eating and activity patterns. Families work closely with the doctor and therapist to regain family structure that decreases the eating disorders control over the individual and family.
Psychiatry Services
Psychiatrists are a key part of our team and work with individuals regarding consideration of medications that may be incorporated into treatment of the eating disorder or other co-occurring conditions. Our psychiatric staff consists of two psychiatrists that specialize in the treatment of adults and one that specializes in the treatment of adolescents/children.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
The IOP is designed for people who need more structure to interrupt symptom use and is also used as a step down from a higher level of care. We offer evening options for IOP which allows individuals to continue with work or school yet still have added support. IOP combines group therapy, psychiatry, nutrition therapy, meal planning, psycho-education, family therapy and supported meals.
