Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with ED
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about accepting what is out of your personal control and committing to action that enriches your life. The aim of ACT is to maximize human potential for a rich, full and meaningful life. ACT does this by teaching you psychological skills to address your painful thoughts and feelings effectively in such a way that they have much less impact and influence over you (and the choices you make surrounding relationships, substance use, food and eating, etc.). ACT also helps you to clarify your values then using that knowledge to guide, inspire and motivate you to change your life.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy with ED
DBT was originally developed by Marsha Linehan, Ph.D., to treat individuals who engage in self-harm behavior, many of whom meet the diagnostic criteria for borderline personality disorder. DBT represents a merging of eastern approaches and western therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Linehan also integrated Eastern psychological and spiritual philosophies, including the practice of mindfulness, which provide for a heightened focus on acceptance (rather than change) and on the healthy regulation of difficult emotions. The focus of this group is on the use of DBT skills with eating disorder symptoms.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with ED
Cognitive-behavioral therapy, or CBT, is the leading evidence-based treatment for people with eating disorders. It is based on the theory that a person's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected and can be restructured to support new, healthier thoughts and actions. Cognitive behavior therapy provides the foundation for individual and group therapies throughout all levels of care at Madrone Mental Health.
