Eating Disorders Therapy Group

Connecting with other women who are also struggling with an eating disorder is a wonderful way to practice what you learn in individual therapy in a safe, supportive environment.  By sharing your struggle with like-minded women, in a therapeutic setting, you learn that you are not alone, you are not helpless, and you can gain control over this isolating disorder.

   Group psychotherapy focuses on:

  • Exploring the current impact of past life experiences, and developing your strengths to better manage that impact.
  • The role that body-image pain plays in your relationships, and how you can begin to disentangle the two.
  • Using the wisdom that comes from sharing common experiences with other women, and gaining strength by learning from others and allowing them to learn from you.  The group setting is a potent counter-force to the isolating nature of eating disorders.

To participate, you must meet the following criteria:

  • You are 18 years or older.
  • You are actively working on managing the eating disorder — that means you are working on healthy food intake and, if Bulimic, reducing your binge/purge frequency. 
  • If you are in therapy with another therapist, you must sign a Release of Information allowing Dr. Wolfe to talk to your therapist to ensure this group is a good fit for you.
  • If you are not in individual therapy, you must meet with Dr. Wolfe to assess whether this group is a good fit for you, and you must engage with an indivdual therapist.
