The Eating Disorders Center at EBTCS
Welcome to the Eating Disorders Center at EBTCS!
We are the premiere center for the outpatient treatment of eating disorders in the Pacific Northwest. All of our providers are doctoral-level psychologists with extensive specialized training in the evidence-based treatment of eating disorders for all age ranges.
We are committed to working with individuals and families to restore nutrition, promote eating competence, and reduce the harmful effects of weight stigma. We support and operate from a lens of weight-inclusion and believe recovery looks different for every body.
Why the Eating Disorders Center at EBTCS?
Not only are all of our providers doctoral-level psychologists with extensive specialized training in the treatment of eating disorders, we are also the only clinic in the Pacific Northwest where all our providers are certified in the delivery of Family-Based Treatment (FBT), the gold-standard treatment for anorexia nervosa.
We are experts in treating co-occurring problems
Our providers are also trained in the treatment of commonly co-occurring disorders and problems, such as anxiety (including obsessive-compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder/trauma and specific phobias), depression, difficulties with emotion regulation, and perfectionism.
We collaborate on a weekly basis as a team to ensure we are delivering state-of-the-art treatment.
Our treatment works
Treatment at the Eating Disorders Center at EBTCS is very individualized and based on an initial assessment with one of our clinical psychologists. We collaborate with you to develop the most effective plan for treatment.
Evidence-based practice guides our treatment, which means we consider what treatments have been shown by research to be effective for treating the problems you are experiencing. This includes using data collected in therapy to guide treatment and make sure you are getting the best care possible. We also consider, in collaboration with you, treatment preferences and your experience with therapy in the past.
We also work closely with other providers, including medical professionals, psychiatrists, and dietitians, to ensure that your treatment is coordinated.
