Is your child or teen struggling with ARFID, anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating? You may feel worried, overwhelmed or even hopeless about your teen's eating behaviors. You may not know what to say or how best to help. Perhaps your child has been to a treatment center, only to return back home and slip back into old patterns. If this sounds familiar, I invite you to schedule a free 20-minute consultation. I work collaboratively with teens and their families, helping them move toward lasting recovery. Together, we’ll build on your strengths as a family and support your teen in stepping out of their eating disorder.

I partner with you and your teen to get them on the road to recovery. With my experience in treating eating disorders and your expertise in your family and teen, we work together to help support your teen's recovery from their eating disorder.

With my 20-plus years of treating eating disorders, training in family-based treatment, and being a parent myself, I invite you to reach out to me to discuss if family-based treatment is a good fit for your teen and family.

Starting therapy for the treatment of an eating disorder often feels scary and overwhelming. During our initial sessions, I try my best to get to know your child and family. Parents appreciate being included in the treatment process. Most families report that they feel relief that they are getting help for their child's eating disorder and feel more confident in the path forward.

I would highly recommend Alison as a therapist and counselor, both as a nutritionist and psychotherapist. In dealing with food issues and eating disorders, it's important to have someone who is skilled in both areas, which Alison is.

I use Family-based treatment (FBT) when working with children and teens which empowers parents/caregivers to help their loved one recover from an eating disorder. Additionally, I help clients and families create a treatment team (doctor, dietitian, and/or psychiatrist if needed) that I stay in frequent contact with to ensure the highest quality of care.
