Eating Disorders & Disordered Eating Social Workers in Connecticut

Eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder, are serious mental health conditions involving a severe disturbance in eating patterns, such as restricting, avoiding, purging, and/or binge eating. Other eating patterns that do not meet formal diagnostic criteria might be described as disordered eating behaviors and are equally important to treat.

Eating disorders require specialized and knowledgeable care by social workers who take a team approach, which may include partnering with a dietician, primary care physician, and psychiatrist. In therapy, individuals who struggle with disordered eating might focus on understanding where the beliefs that drive disordered eating behaviors come from, learn new coping skills, and gradually replace disordered behaviors with other self-soothing strategies.
