We provide eating disorder therapy for children, teens and adults in Rockville, Maryland and virtually throughout Maryland struggling with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, OSFED, ARFID, orthorexia, and compulsive exercise. We also have therapists who specialize in eating disorders co-occuring with trauma, OCD, and mood disorders.

The Eating Disorder Center uses effective modalities including CBT, DBT, and ACT to help clients find freedom from eating disorders and body image struggles.

In addition to using CBT, DBT, and ACT to effectively treat eating disorders, The Eating Disorder Center also provides EMDR therapy in-person in Rockville, MD or virtually throughout Maryland. EMDR therapy can be utilized for those who have a history of trauma and an eating disorder, or can be a stand alone treatment for eating disorders or trauma separately.

EMDR therapy is an evidence-based treatment that was founded in 1987 by Francine Shapiro.  It was originally researched as an evidence based treatment modality for PTSD, but has expanded to be able to effectively treat anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. You may wonder if EMDR therapy is a good fit for your treatment and therapy journey. We at The Eating Disorder Center understand the struggle of finding a therapist and treatment modality that will be the best fit for you. There are so many options out there, and it can be overwhelming when searching for therapists and the types of therapy they offer. 

We are excited to share that The Eating Disorder center created an infographic about the intersection between trauma and eating disorders and how EMDR therapy can help! This may help guide you in your therapy and recovery journey in finding a treatment modality and clinician that’s the right fit for you.
