CBT-E is a type of CBT developed specifically to treat eating disorders. It first focuses on helping people learn how to eat regularly and adequately and stabilize eating patterns. It then focuses on addressing other influences on the eating disorder (e.g., body image, perfectionism, mood influences). CBT-E is intended to be a personalized treatment as there is no single way to treat eating disorders.

I am trained in delivering CBT-E to treat eating disorders. What this looks like depends on the person, and I often find that it is important to combine CBT-E with other treatment modalities (e.g., DBT) to fully address the eating disorder.
