How to choose an eating disorder therapist
- Check the license with the state or provincial board that issued it; most boards publish a free online lookup.
- Make sure eating disorder treatment is a regular part of their work, and ask what approach they use and why.
- Ask whether they work with a physician and a dietitian, and which levels of care they offer (outpatient, intensive outpatient, residential).
- 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.
- Check practical fit: in-person or online sessions, evening times, and how soon they have an opening.
- After a few sessions, ask yourself whether you feel heard. Changing to a different provider is common and fine.

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.

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?
