About the group

What this group is for

A small, ongoing space for teens who are working on their relationship with food, body image, and self, at whatever stage that work is in.

Living with an eating disorder can feel isolating, even when you have people around you. Friends might not understand. Family might not know what to say. This group is a place where teens who are navigating similar struggles meet each week to talk about what's actually going on. It can be a hard moment with food, pressure around body image, a thought that's been loud lately, and be met with real understanding instead of judgment.

The same group of teens meets together over time, so trust has a chance to build. Members practice putting hard things into words, hear that they aren't the only one who feels this way, and get honest, caring support from peers who understand it from the inside, not just advice from another adult telling them what to do.

This group runs alongside individual care, not in place of it. It's designed to support teens who are already working with a therapist and/or medical provider, and isn't a substitute for individual treatment or medical monitoring. If you are interested in joining the group, but do not have an individual therapist, inquire here.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • This group is meant to run alongside individual therapy and medical care, not replace it. If your teen isn't currently working with a therapist, we can talk about that before the group starts. I’d also be happy to see them for individual therapy, inquire here.

  • Members talk about what's present for them that week. It could be a hard moment, a feeling, something on their mind, and the group responds in real time. There's no worksheet or curriculum; the conversation is guided by a therapist but belongs to the group.

  • Yes. Every member agrees to keep what's shared in the group private, and the same confidentiality guidelines that apply to individual therapy apply here, with the usual legal exceptions around safety.

  • Parents and guardians will hear about logistics, such as start dates, attendance, scheduling, but not the specific content of what's shared in session. This is a space for teens to be able to talk comfortably amongst people of similar age and experiences.

  • Group sessions are $70, paid directly. A superbill can be provided on request for families who want to submit for out-of-network reimbursement. Check with your insurance provider on group therapy coverage.

  • A process group works because the same people show up for each other week after week. Starting with too few members makes that harder, so we wait until there's a solid group before setting a start date.

  • Fill out the short form above. I'll follow up by phone or email to answer questions and make sure the group is a good fit before your teen is added, then confirm a start date once enough spots are reserved.
