GROUP THERAPY
Group Treatment for Eating Disorders
The Hunger on My Bones psychotherapy group provides patients a therapeutic companion to their individual psychotherapy. The power of group therapy is that it demystifies the uniqueness of eating disorder behaviors and minimizes shame while encouraging patients to appreciate the adaptive aspects of their eating disorders. This group intends to cultivate an extensive comprehension of the personal meaning of each member’s eating disorders and examine the dynamics of the body, mind, and relationships. In a structured yet dynamic and spontaneous setting, a patient can expect to progressively address the somatic and psychological aspects of eating disorder thoughts, feelings, and behaviors each week.
Angela provides an individualized assessment process of 1- 3 sessions in order to determine the most appropriate and suitable level of eating disorder therapy for each individual or family that she works with. She has developed a specialized assessment process that provides a comprehensive understanding of eating disorder symptoms and the related levels of care. Angela is adept at being able to differentiate, illuminate and determine the severity of a patient's symptoms, which will assist in developing the most effective treatment plan for a given person or family system at a given time.
