Embracing Recovery: A New Approach to Eating Disorder Treatment
At Philadelphia Integrative Psychiatry, we understand the complexities of eating disorders and the courage it takes to seek help. That's why we're proud to launch our innovative new outpatient program, Integrative Healing. Designed to provide compassionate, holistic care, our model empowers individuals not just to recover, but to establish a vibrant, healthy relationship with food, body, and self.
Why Choose Philadelphia Integrative Psychiatry?
Tailored Support: We recognize that every person’s journey with an eating disorder is unique. Your treatment plan is individualized based on your specific needs, with group participation as the foundation of your care.
A Focus on Community: Our supportive group sessions create a nurturing environment where you'll face challenges and celebrate successes alongside others who understand. We foster a sense of belonging and empowerment, where everyone feels seen and heard.
Seamless Care: Unlike traditional models, you can continue working with your established therapist, dietitcian, and medication provider as you progress, minimizing transitions and maximizing support.
The Holistic Edge: We go beyond traditional treatment, incorporating your religious, spiritual, or cultural background for truly whole-person care. Options like grocery store or clothing shopping assistance with our support staff or clinicians further enhance your real-world experience.
Our Unique Approach
Our tiered system ensures the right level of guidance and support:
Tier 1: Designed for those struggling with body image, self-esteem, or disordered eating patterns.
Tier 2: Offers more intensive support for those meeting full criteria for an eating disorder.
Tier 3: The most intensive level, with weekly therapy, dietitian appointments, and medication management.
Our Collaborative Team: Your Support System
The Integrative Healing program draws on the expertise of a multidisciplinary team dedicated to your well-being. This includes:
Therapists: Licensed therapists with specialized training in eating disorders provide individual therapy, facilitate group sessions, and offer support throughout your recovery process.
Dietitian: A registered dietitian specializing in eating disorders will collaborate with you to develop a personalized nutrition plan that promotes a healthy relationship with food.
Psychiatrist (if needed): In some cases, medication management may be a crucial part of your treatment plan. Our psychiatrists work closely with your therapist and dietitian to ensure a holistic approach.
Support Staff: Our support staff offer practical assistance such as grocery store trips, clothing shopping, and other resources to facilitate your real-world recovery journey.
The Power of Collaboration
Our team operates with open communication and a shared understanding of your goals. Regular treatment team meetings ensure:
Consistent Support: Your progress is consistently monitored, and your treatment plan is adjusted as needed.
Comprehensive Care: All aspects of your well-being – physical, emotional, and behavioral – are addressed in a coordinated fashion.
A Smooth Transition: As you progress through the program, stepping down through tiers is seamless, supported by consistent communication between providers.
We believe this collaborative approach creates a strong foundation for lasting recovery, giving you the comprehensive support you deserve.
