Therapy for OSFED
What is OSFED?
OSFED stands for other specified feeding or eating disorder. This is seen in individuals where they experience significant symptoms of an eating disorder, but do not meet the full diagnostic criteria for another eating disorder. Individuals with OSFED may have eating habits and body image issues that negatively impact their daily life and wellbeing.
Someone with OSFED may also be questioning if they are “sick enough.” However, if you are struggling with a difficult relationship to food and your body you are 100 percent “sick enough” for treatment and recovery. OSFED is just as serious as any other eating disorder.
If this resonates with you, we can help!
Our team at The Eating Disorder Center in Rockville, Maryland has therapists that truly specialize in helping teens and adults to recover from OSFED and reclaim their lives. Recovery is possible!

How Can We Help?
At The Eating Disorder Center, we are highly skilled in providing therapy for individuals who are struggling with OSFED. We will work as part of a treatment team to help you to recover from OSFED, 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 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.
We are thankful to have helped many people to recover from OSFED.
