Eating Disorder Therapy Is Changing Lives in New Haven, CT, for the Better

Eating disorders may not seem like a big deal to some, but the fact is that these are serious mental health conditions that impact people physically, emotionally, and psychologically. At Darien Wellness in New Haven, Connecticut, we understand the complexities of living with an eating disorder and offer guidance to help individuals break free from destructive behaviors and develop healthier relationships with food. Eating disorder therapy at our practice will give you a comfortable setting to work through this and find peace.

Eating Disorders We Treat

Eating disorders take many forms. Common types include:

• Anorexia Nervosa – Characterized by extreme food restriction and a distorted body image. Individuals with anorexia may engage in dangerous behaviors to avoid weight gain, even going so far as to starve themselves.
• Binge Eating Disorder – This disorder is characterized by episodes of excessive food consumption, often leading to feelings of shame and guilt.
• Bulimia Nervosa – Cycles of binge eating followed by purging behaviors such as vomiting, excessive exercise, or the misuse of laxatives to prevent weight gain.
• Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders (OSFED) – This category encompasses eating disorders that don’t meet the criteria for anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder but still cause significant emotional and physical distress.

Eating disorders often stem from underlying emotional issues, like trauma, anxiety, depression, or perfectionism. We’ll explore these causes, challenge negative thought patterns, and work through them. By changing harmful thoughts, you can manage stress and respond to triggers without resorting to disordered eating.
