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?

The median Google rating among 37 rated eating disorder therapists in Fort Washington is 4.9★, with a median of 13 reviews. Weaver Wellness Care has the most, 103 reviews, and ranks #11. We adjust ratings for review count, so a few five-star reviews cannot top the list.

How does RankedPsychologists rank eating disorder therapists?

Each eating disorder therapist gets a 0–100 RP Score from eight published factors, led by reputation (25%), specialty focus (25%), proximity (15%) and availability (10%). A practice with no Google reviews scores zero on rating, review volume and recency; other factors we cannot measure are left out. Only practices with a confirmed specialty and 3 or more reviews, or a claimed profile, are ranked.

Do eating disorder therapists outside Fort Washington count in this ranking?

Yes, if they are within 50 mi of the Fort Washington city center, our service radius for eating disorder therapists. Each listing shows where the practice is based and how far away it is. Proximity is 15% of the RP Score, so a nearby practice gets a small edge.

Can eating disorder therapists pay to rank higher on RankedPsychologists?

No. The RP Score never reads payment status, and this ranking has 0 paid placements. Up to 3 Featured practices may appear above the list, labelled Sponsored and showing their honest rank.

How are eating disorder therapists in Fort Washington ranked?

Each practice gets an RP Score from 0 to 100 from 8 published factors, including its Google rating, how clearly it focuses on eating disorder treatment and how close it is. Sponsored placements are shown separately and never change rank. The score does not measure treatment outcomes.

What does eating disorder treatment usually involve?

Care is often shared by a team: a therapist, a physician who monitors physical health, and often a registered dietitian. Levels of care range from weekly outpatient sessions to intensive and residential programs. If you are worried about someone’s physical health, see a doctor first: eating disorders can cause medical problems that need prompt care.

Can I see an eating disorder therapist online?

Often, yes. Licensing generally follows where you are during the session, so the provider needs to be licensed or authorized there. In the US, psychologists in PSYPACT member states can offer telepsychology to clients in other member states; counselors and social workers have their own rules. In Canada, ask whether the provider is registered in your province.

What if I need help right now?

Do not wait for a consultation. Call or text 988 (US and Canada) if you are in crisis or thinking about suicide, at any time. In an emergency, call 911.
