Our Approach Dr. Lilenfeld is trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), an evidenced-based approach for eating disorders. CBT has several components. Among the most critical components of CBT for eating disorders are addressing motivation for change, establishing a regular intake pattern, and addressing body image dissatisfaction. For conditions involving binging, purging, or compulsive exercise, triggers are identified and alternative strategies are developed. Nutritional consultation and evaluations by physicians may be part of your treatment. Dr. Lilenfeld frequently coordinates the care among all professionals involved to help provide comprehensive, multi-disciplinary treatment. Maudsley Family-based Treatment Dr. Lilenfeld also provides intensive family-based treatment (known as Maudsley family-based treatment) for adolescent patients. This family-based treatment is well-researched, and one of the only treatments demonstrated to be effective for young individuals with eating disorders.
