How often and for how long do treatment sessions last?
In our clinic, we emphasize the use of empirically validated treatments for eating disorders. Thus, the frequency and number of appointments is based on the recommendations of the treatment model chosen and adapted based on the needs of the individual client. For most disorders, sessions are held more frequently at the beginning of treatment (twice weekly for the first few weeks) and then continue on a weekly basis as treatment progresses and symptoms improve. We assess your progress every four weeks to determine if changes in treatment are necessary. Each session is 50 minutes.
