Eating Disorder Therapy in California
Eating disorders affect both your mental and physical health, which is why recovery often requires more than one type of support. At Trust Mental Health, we offer a comprehensive approach by combining therapy with nutritional care, helping you work toward a healthier relationship with food and overall well-being.
Our care team includes experienced therapists and an in-house Registered Dietitian who work together to create a treatment plan that fits your individual needs. While therapy helps address the emotional and behavioral challenges behind disordered eating, our dietitian provides personalized nutrition guidance to support your physical health and recovery.
We use evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques to help you develop healthier coping skills, improve body image, and build lasting habits. Combined with expert nutritional support, our goal is to help you feel healthier both mentally and physically.
Whether you're struggling with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, or another eating-related concern, our team is here to support you every step of the way. We offer both in-person and virtual appointments throughout California, making it easier to access the care you need in a safe, supportive environment.
