Eating Disorder Treatment in Orem

Treatments Offered

• Anorexia Nervosa Therapy: Anorexia can involve restrictive eating patterns and intense concerns surrounding food, weight, or body image. Therapy can help explore the emotional experiences and thought patterns that may contribute to these behaviors while supporting a healthier relationship with yourself and your body.
• Bulimia Nervosa Therapy: Bulimia is commonly associated with recurring cycles of binge eating followed by behaviors intended to compensate for eating. Therapy can provide a supportive setting for identifying triggers, understanding underlying emotions, and developing healthier ways of responding to distress.
• Binge Eating Disorder Therapy: Binge eating disorder involves recurring episodes of consuming large amounts of food while experiencing a sense of losing control. Treatment can help clients examine emotional triggers, reduce shame surrounding eating, and work toward more supportive patterns for managing difficult feelings.
• Body Image Concerns: Struggling with body image can affect confidence, relationships, social activities, and overall emotional well-being, even when someone does not have a diagnosed eating disorder. Therapy can help clients explore beliefs about their bodies, challenge harmful patterns of self-criticism, and develop greater self-compassion.
• Emotional Eating: Food can sometimes become a way of coping with stress, sadness, loneliness, anxiety, boredom, or other difficult emotions. Therapy can help you better understand the connection between emotions and eating behaviors while developing additional strategies for responding to emotional needs.
• Disordered Eating: Not everyone experiencing a difficult relationship with food meets the criteria for a specific eating disorder. Patterns such as restrictive eating, guilt around food, recurring overeating, rigid food rules, or preoccupation with eating and body image can still cause significant distress and may benefit from professional support.
• Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy: IFS helps clients understand different internal “parts” and the roles those parts may play in coping with difficult emotions or experiences. Life Empowered Therapy Services uses IFS to help clients approach internal conflict with greater curiosity and compassion rather than judgment.
• Trauma-Informed Therapy: For some clients, eating behaviors or body image concerns may exist alongside difficult or traumatic experiences. As trauma-informed specialists, our therapists can incorporate appropriate modalities based on the client’s needs, comfort, and readiness while providing a supportive environment for healing.
