Eating Disorder Treatment and Therapy in Summit, NJ

Eating Disorders

Struggling with an eating disorder is tough. You want to do something, nothing is working and you don’t know what to do.

They can cause you to fight with control, isolation, a need to be protective, stigmatized, pressured, and nervous. It can be difficult to find a positive place to seek help and when stress builds, you may not even realize that you’re struggling which then affects your relationships and activities. The clinical staff at Hilltop Behavioral Health stops these harmful experiences. We get you back on your feet.

There are four main types of eating disorders: Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating, and Selective Eating (ARFID), They are not exclusive from one another.  At Hilltop Behavioral Health, we have dedicated our practice and our careers to treating eating disorders!

Compassion, empathy, experience, and stability. We work with the best minds in the country to advance and improve eating disorder care. We uphold the standard of the Academy for Eating Disorders and the International Association for Eating Disorder Professionals. You work with an expert on the front lines.

Additionally, Brian Pollack was one of the original board members of the National Association for Males with Eating Disorders as they continue their growth into the modern conversation.

Specialist vs. Non-Specialist Therapist?

Successful eating disorder treatment requires the ability to implement an in-depth, multi-faceted approach. Some therapists will say they work with eating disorders but don’t know how to navigate the tricky waters of such complexity. This is the difference between a specialist therapist and a non-specialist therapist.

A specialist has the experience and training to follow a layered approach that requires medical knowledge, specialty nutritional support, deep knowledge of mental health, and the ability to identify co-occurring disorders.

Let us help you get your life back and understand why your eating disorder happened in the first place. If you have questions or would like more information, contact us for a complimentary consultation.
