Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that affect individuals physically, emotionally, and socially. At Psynergy Centre in Medicine Hat, Alberta, we provide specialized support for individuals dealing with eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and other related food and body image issues. Our approach is compassionate, holistic, and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual on their journey toward recovery.

Our Eating Disorders Treatment Services Include:

• Comprehensive Assessment: Understanding the multifaceted nature of eating disorders, we begin with a thorough assessment to determine the specific type and severity of the disorder, as well as any co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, or trauma. This comprehensive evaluation helps us develop a personalized treatment plan.
• Individual Therapy: We offer individual counseling sessions with experienced therapists who specialize in eating disorders. These sessions focus on addressing the psychological aspects of the disorder, including underlying emotional triggers, distorted body image, and unhealthy thought patterns.
• Nutritional Counseling: A key component of eating disorder treatment is nutritional counseling, provided by registered dietitians who are experienced in eating disorders. Our dietitians work with clients to develop healthy eating plans, restore nutritional balance, and repair the relationship with food.
• Family Involvement: Recognizing the significant impact that eating disorders can have on families, we encourage family involvement in the treatment process. This may include family therapy sessions and educational programs to support loved ones in understanding the disorder and how they can best provide support.
• Group Therapy: Group therapy sessions offer a supportive environment where individuals can share experiences, challenges, and successes with others who understand what they are going through. These sessions can be invaluable for building a sense of community and reducing feelings of isolation.
• Holistic Therapies: In addition to traditional therapies, we offer holistic and complementary treatments such as yoga, meditation, and art therapy. These therapies can help clients develop healthier coping mechanisms, improve self-esteem, and foster a positive body image.
• Relapse Prevention: A crucial aspect of treatment is developing strategies for relapse prevention. Our therapists work with clients to identify potential triggers and create detailed plans to manage stressful situations and maintain recovery progress.
• Coordination of Care: For clients requiring more intensive treatment, we coordinate care with local inpatient and outpatient programs, ensuring a seamless transition and continuity of care.
