Finding the right therapist is crucial in recovery since you cannot recover on your own or just by friends and family if they have no training in ED therapy. A therapist should be professional but casual enough that you or someone you know that has an eating disorder can feel comfortable in their prescence. It usually helps if the therapist has had a past experience with an eating disorder so they understand more and don't merely regurgitate whatever they have been fed about EDs from textbooks. Therapists can also be expensive but there are many, along with group therapy, that go on a sliding scale basis meaning that whatever you make for a job they will judge on how much they will charge you along with how much of the price your insurance, if you have any, will pay for.
Note: At this point in time I am only listing Eating Disorder Organizations. I cannot list individual states and providence treatment centers, as there are so many. However, visit the link below and you can get a listing of centers in your specific state/providence courtesy of Something-Fishy.
If you have an organization that you would like seen listed here, please let me know. =)
Call Rader or visit their web page from the link above for more information on treatment! :)
