What Treatment Modalities Are Used in This Program?
In the MindFULL program here at Connections Wellness Group, we believe a starving brain is not a healing brain. We also know that eating disorders do not occur on their own. Therefore, it is important for us to treat not only the eating disorder thoughts, behaviors, and nutritional needs of our patients but also the therapeutic and clinical needs of other mental health struggles such as depression and anxiety. With the support of our private school, our patients can keep up with their school work while receiving the level of care they need.
Additionally, our master-level clinicians use many evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including:
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
- Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
- Motivational interviewing
- Family- Centered Treatment
- Joyful movement
- Meditation and mindfulness
