GROUPSAdolescent Eating Disorder Groups
Tuesdays or Thursdays 7:00 - 8:00 PM
These INNER IMAGE therapy groups are for adolescent girls seeking to recover from Anorexia, Bulimia, or Compulsive/Binge eating issues.
Here the adolescent girl has a unique opportunity to receive support and feedback from peers who are experiencing similar food and weight pre-occupations. The purpose of the group is to provide a safe place for the girls to learn to identify the underlying feeling states that are behind the eating disorder thinking and body dissatisfaction. The goal is to help the girls cope better with social, academic, or family stressors, without resorting to eating disorder symptoms and behaviors, such as restricting or purging. The group experience with peers is an ideal avenue to help decrease the social isolation and shame that often accompanies this disorder.
The therapeutic and experiential modalities utilized in the group are: journal writing, art therapy, relaxation/breathing techniques, body image exercises, and CBT/DBT skills.
To schedule your adolescent daughter’s intake interview call Mrs. Barbara Reese at (973) 783-2292.
