Adolescent Group Therapy for Eating Disorders In Pennsylvania

Adolescent Group Therapy for Eating Disorders In Pennsylvania

Therapy groups are a key part of treatment at Blue Ridge. Group therapy helps encourage individuals to come out of their feelings of isolation, as they are shown that others face some of the same problems. Because of this, eating disorder professionals tend to make group counseling sessions as central a part of each recovery plan.

Anecdotally, many former clients also point to group therapy as their favorite part of treatment. The bonds between clients (and therapists) formed in these groups often go on to become lifelong friendships. The varied perspectives and experiences in the group dynamic can help many young women achieve personal growth and work through barriers to recovery.

Integrative Modalities Therapy (IMT) is utilized in groups at Blue Ridge on a daily basis. IMT is a comprehensive collection of evidence-based interventions for eating disorders in adolescents. IMT includes adolescent friendly group exercises that encourage recovery-oriented behavior, groups that teach young women ways to identify and dispute disordered eating thoughts, and group exercises aimed at coping with anti-fat talk and thin ideal messages.
