How to choose an eating disorder therapist

  1. Check the license with the state or provincial board that issued it; most boards publish a free online lookup.
  2. Make sure eating disorder treatment is a regular part of their work, and ask what approach they use and why.
  3. Ask whether they work with a physician and a dietitian, and which levels of care they offer (outpatient, intensive outpatient, residential).
  4. Ask about fees, insurance and the cancellation policy before the first session. In the US, if you are uninsured or paying yourself, you can ask for a good faith estimate of expected charges.
  5. Check practical fit: in-person or online sessions, evening times, and how soon they have an opening.
  6. After a few sessions, ask yourself whether you feel heard. Changing to a different provider is common and fine.

Questions to ask an eating disorder therapist

  • Are you accepting new clients, and how soon could I start?
  • Which license do you hold, and in which state or province?
  • How much of your work is eating disorder treatment?
  • Do you coordinate with a physician and a dietitian?
  • What do you charge per session, and do you take my insurance or provide a superbill?
  • Do you offer online sessions?
  • What is your cancellation policy?
  • What do you keep confidential, and when would you have to share information?

If you are worried about someone’s physical health, see a doctor first: eating disorders can cause medical problems that need prompt care.

In Canada, ask whether the provider is registered in your province.

What if I need help right now?
