We have masks available in our waiting room if you need one.

It’s National Eating Disorder Awareness Week! Th It’s National Eating Disorder Awareness Week! Thank you @equiphealth and @projectheal for this helpful graphic describing how eating disorders can be so difficult to treat and why many don’t get help until symptoms have progressed. At Mindful Psychology Associates, we have several eating disorder specialists who are experienced in treating the whole spectrum of eating disorders and disordered eating, and we work collaboratively with physicians, dieticians, and psychiatrists who are also trained to work within a collaborative treatment team. Help is available!
