Eating Disorders therapists in Huntersville, North Carolina NC

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)and I work from a team approach in treating adolescents and adults with eating disorders. The team of professionals I collaborate with include: Nutritionists, Primary Care Doctors and Psychiatrists to better assist my clients in their recovery.  

It's not about the food. It never is. We just have to figure out what it is about.  

Specifically with disordered eating, which are closely related to meeting diagnostic criteria. This include yo-yo dieting, emotional eating, compulsive eating, binge episodes, cyclical eating that has been present for long periods of time.  

We treat binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, and night eating syndrome. Dr. Sala is trained in CBT for eating disorders as well as FBT for eating disorders (which is the best treatment to date for children and adolescents with eating disorders).  

Perfectionism and a lack of self-acceptance lie at the core of many eating disorders. I teach people how to unconditionally accept themselves instead of trying to obtain the perfect body. I also teach people how to alleviate stress and emotional problems which may very well give rise to eating problems and disorders.
