Supportive, Discreet Care for Eating Disorders and Body Image Concerns
Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that affect not only physical health but also emotional well-being, self-esteem, and daily functioning. At Southern California Psychiatry, we offer understanding, nonjudgmental support for individuals struggling with disordered eating and body image—because recovery is possible with the right care and support.
Common Types of Eating Disorders We Treat
Anorexia Nervosa
Characterized by extreme food restriction, intense fear of weight gain, and a distorted body image.
Bulimia Nervosa
involves cycles of binge eating followed by purging, excessive exercise, or fasting to avoid weight gain.
Binge Eating Disorder (BED)
Recurrent episodes of eating large amounts of food with a feeling of loss of control, often accompanied by guilt or shame.
Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
Limited eating not related to body image concerns, often due to sensory sensitivities or fear of consequences like choking.
Our Approach to Treatment
We understand that eating disorders are not simply about food—they’re often tied to deeper emotional struggles, anxiety, trauma, or perfectionism. At Southern California Psychiatry, we offer:
- Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluations
To assess the emotional, behavioral, and physical components of your symptoms. - Medication Management
When appropriate, to support mood stabilization, reduce anxiety, or address co-occurring conditions like OCD or depression. - Collaborative Care
Coordination with registered dietitians, therapists, and primary care physicians for full-spectrum recovery. - Ongoing Support
Compassionate follow-up to help you stay on track and build a healthier relationship with food and self-image.
