Eating Disorder

Eating Disorder

Eating Disorders are complex mental illnesses that impact physiological health and emotional wellbeing. At Exhale Therapy, our therapists experience treating eating disorders in both inpatient and outpatient settings to address Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Purging Disorder and Binge Eating Disorder. 

In treatment, evidence-based treatment approaches such as Enhanced- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy are used to address body image disturbances and disordered eating habits (i,e., restriction, chewing and spitting, purging and binge eating). Treatment will be personalized to the needs of the client considering their previous treatment experiences and the severity of their symptoms. Common interventions used in sessions will include exposures (e.g., clothing, food, mirror), meal planning, behaviour chains and food records.
