Anorexia nervosa care in the San Fernando Valley and nearby
Anorexia nervosa is a serious mental and physical illness marked by restriction, fear of weight gain, and body-image disturbance. Recovery is possible with a coordinated team: psychotherapy, nutrition counseling, and medical monitoring.
VFED members in the San Fernando, San Gabriel, Santa Clarita, Conejo, Simi, and Antelope Valleys work with children, teens, and adults. Many use evidence-based approaches such as Family-Based Treatment (FBT), CBT-E, and medical nutrition therapy.
If you or someone you love is restricting food, losing weight rapidly, or afraid to eat, start with a specialist rather than a general therapist. Use the VFED directory to find a local eating disorder therapist or dietitian, and review our support groups if you need community while you wait for an intake.
