At Remedy Therapy Center, clients can participate in residential treatment programs. These programs include access to individual, family, and group therapy sessions, as well as medical monitoring, nutritional planning, and body image therapy.

Individual therapy is central to our treatment for eating disorders near Hollywood, FL. With this type of one-on-one session, you can promote lasting behavioral change by:

• Setting goals
• Developing action plans for triggers
• Implementing strategies

We know that once you leave our treatment center, you will have the skills you need to recognize emotional triggers or identify maladaptive eating behaviors. However, just having a list of things to do is not nearly as important as having a strategy that you can implement when you are triggered. 

That’s why our therapists collaborate with you to identify barriers you might have, problems you might face when you leave our treatment center, and to create practical solutions that you can use to help overcome those barriers.

Treatment for eating disorders in Hollywood also involves those closest to you, which is why we provide family therapy for our clients. Family therapy is an opportunity to evaluate the relationships you have within your family, the roles that people assume, and the communication methods that are used. This can be a resource for identifying patterns that might be contributing to or supporting an eating disorder, and after that, changing them. 

As part of our treatment plans, we teach clients the basic principles of healthy nutrition to provide a much deeper understanding of the way that macro and micronutrients, as well as hydration, can influence metabolism, sleep, mood, and overall well-being. While working with our dietitians, you will develop a deeper understanding of the way that diet impacts things like:

• Cognitive function
• Mood 
• Energy levels

While eating, it is important to be aware of your actions and your emotions, which is why we provide mindful eating to all of our clients. Mindful eating helps you pay better attention to cues for hunger versus fullness and to create a non-judgmental approach toward what you are eating. Being more mindful of your eating practices can help reduce disordered eating behaviors. 

With each of our programs, we focus on giving clients the skills they need for emotional regulation. Why does this matter? For many clients seeking help for eating disorders, there are intense emotions associated with eating behaviors. Clients might feel:

• Guilt
• Shame
• Sadness
• Anxiety

These emotions cause a cycle of maladaptive behaviors whereby a client might be struggling with anxiety, so they overeat or indulge in unhealthy foods in a binging and purging cycle, which creates more anxiety about their behavior, which fuels additional cycles.

Learning how to better manage emotions by coping with distress and replacing negative eating behaviors with positive ones, clients can learn to stop this cycle and reduce those feelings. 

As part of treatment, we want to set every client up for success. This can often mean ongoing support via outpatient plans or local support groups in Hollywood. Our team will work with you to create an aftercare plan, giving you access to resources in the local area to which you can turn for things like weekly support group meetings. This can include:

• Teen ED Support Group: Teens who are under the age of 17 need positive, safe spaces for continued psychoeducation and self-esteem boosting, which is why teen-based eating disorder support groups can be a useful part of aftercare planning
• Body and Soul Group: Body and Soul Group therapy sessions can teach you how to focus on the connection between your mind and body, capitalizing on holistic therapies like those we teach as part of nutritional counseling and body image therapy 
• Eating Disorder Support Group: Adults, too, can find help in the form of local support groups that meet on a weekly basis 

By finding the right ongoing support, you can continue to practice the skills and the techniques that you learned from Remedy Therapy Center while building that support network.
