Ashburn Psychological Services offers treatment for eating disorders. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential for improvement since eating disorders are complex and often comorbid with other mental health concerns. Cognitive-behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive remediation therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, family therapy, behavior therapy, and music therapy are some of the approaches used to successfully treat eating disorders. At times, increased family involvement, medication and hospitalization is needed. We at Ashburn Psychological Services are here to help.
