Therapy for Binge Eating Disorder
What is Binge Eating Disorder?
Binge eating disorder is characterized as recurring episodes of binge eating at least once a week for three months. Binge eating can be defined as eating a larger amount of food in a discrete time period that is more than what individuals typically eat.
Binge eating disorder is often associated with feelings of shame or feeling out of control with food. Binge eating disorder is widely misunderstood and many individuals with binge eating disorder feel judged for eating “large amounts” from their families, peers, and even healthcare providers. This can make it difficult to reach out to help, due to having previous negative reactions in their support system. However, we understand the struggles, symptoms, and realities of binge eating disorder and love helping clients to recover.
Living with binge eating disorder is exhausting. It’s so tiring to be constantly thinking about food and your body, and to feel totally “out of control” during binge episodes. You might tell yourself each time that you aren’t going to do it again, but then it keeps happening.

How can we help?
At The Eating Disorder Center we are highly skilled in providing therapy for individuals who are struggling with binge eating disorder. We will work as part of a treatment team to help you to recover from binge eating disorder, which may include a physician, dietitian, and/or psychiatrist.
We use evidence-based treatment methods, including acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) skills, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and modified FBT treatment. We are Health At Every Size (HAES) informed providers. If there is co-occurring trauma we also offer EMDR therapy for trauma and eating disorders. We provide clients with specific skills to cope with urges to binge. We also address the underlying triggers, such as restriction, trauma, stress and coping with emotions.
We pride ourselves on being action-oriented therapists, setting recovery goals, and doing exposures with clients, such as eating meals or snacks together. We value collaboration with other local eating disorder treatment providers. Many of our therapists are also personally recovered from eating disorders.
