About the Eating Concerns Treatment Team

The Eating Concerns Treatment Team (ECTT) offers specialized services for individuals with eating and body image issues.

Our providers are skilled, caring professionals including physicians, physician assistants, psychologists, counselors, and a registered dietitian. Using this multidisciplinary approach, we provide the following services:

• Assessment of eating concerns
• Medical evaluation by a physician, physician assistant, or registered nurse
• Individual and/or group therapy sessions by therapists trained in this area
• Nutrition counseling by a registered dietitian
