Eating Disorder Care & Options

Many providers will claim to be specialists in the field of eating disorders, oftentimes without tangible training. As a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, I am well-versed in empirically supported, evidence-based treatment. Certification through the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals (IAEDP) ensures that I have met rigorous standards and continue to stay updated on best practices through ongoing education. 

To attain this certification requires advanced training, education, and supervised experience specifically focused on the complexities of these illnesses. Unlike general therapists or healthcare providers, we are trained in the medical, psychological, and nutritional aspects of eating disorders and are equipped to recognize subtle symptoms, manage co-occurring conditions, and address harmful behaviors safely and effectively. 

This specialized expertise leads to more accurate diagnoses, safer interventions, and more effective, compassionate care tailored to the unique needs of individuals struggling with eating disorders. 

Rebecca Maurillo

If appropriate, I will recommend that my clients contact Rebecca Maurillo, a Licensed Nutritionist, Registered Dietitian, and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist.

Rebecca and I met and successfully worked together at an eating disorder treatment center. Recognizing the need for the same, integrated approach in the outpatient setting, Rebecca and I re-located our respective Private Practice Offices to The Health Collective in hopes that the close proximity of our practices be of benefit to the client.  

Why Collaborative Care Matters

At the heart of effective eating disorder treatment lies collaboration. When you're navigating recovery, having a coordinated team of specialists working together on your behalf is invaluable. Research consistently shows that a collaborative treatment approach leads to better outcomes, shorter treatment duration, and more sustainable recovery than isolated interventions.

When your therapist and dietitian work as an integrated team rather than in separate silos, you benefit from:

• Comprehensive conceptualization, based on the Biopsychosocial model, to best understand how the presenting difficulties and maintaining mechanisms of the eating disorder function for you as an individual
• Coordinated treatment goals to address all aspects of your recovery
• Consistent messaging between providers, reducing confusion and conflicting advice
• Comprehensive care that addresses both the emotional, psychological, and practical aspects of healing
• Enhanced accountability with multiple professionals supporting your progress
• Streamlined communication between team members to ensure nothing falls through the cracks
