Nutrition Therapy for Anorexia & Bulimia: Kids & Teens
There is nothing more frightening than watching your child’s weight drop significantly or discovering that your child is engaging in some form(s) of eating disordered behavior.
Horrified, you attempt to get your child’s eating behavior back “on track,” only to come up against significant resistance and/or the denial that characterizes the complex and confusing eating disorders called “anorexia” and “bulimia.”
Nutrition Therapy: Imperative for Successful Eating Disorder Treatment
Because eating disorders are a psychological illness that also affects the health of your body, we have found it imperative to include nutrition therapy as part of your child’s effective treatment plan for anorexia and/or bulimia.
Especially for children and teens who are in the active process of growing, proper nutritional care is an important part of a successful and responsible treatment plan. A New Beginning’s team of nutrition specialists take an integrated approach to eating disorder treatment and will, therefore, communicate regularly with your child’s pediatrician and/or psychotherapist for a comprehensive approach to your child’s treatment.
Family Involvement for FULL Recovery & Success!
A New Beginning recognizes the significant role that family’s play in setting the nature and tone of food-related values, beliefs and behaviors. That is why we believe that a healthy amount of engagement and 
support in your child’s treatment by family members is an imperative part of your child’s successful eating disorder treatment,
Family members, as a result, are encouraged to ask questions, participate is sessions, and to learn how to best support your child’s eating disorder recovery process.
