Compassionate, Specialized ED Therapy in Pittsburgh

The Center for Eating Disorder and Body Image Recovery of Cognitive Behavior Institute is a comprehensive outpatient center for the continued treatment of eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image concerns in persons of all ages, genders, abilities, ethnicities, and other identities. This Center operates with the knowledge that current services for our clients in the outpatient setting is limited and skewed to private higher levels of care. We seek to create a soft landing place for clients returning from those higher levels of care, or seeking guidance for the first time.

Our Center recognizes the systemic needs of our clients and in addition to individual counseling, we provide family counseling, group support, and support interdisciplinary care. We are firmly committed to the principles of Health At Every Size, and the understanding of eating disorders within the systems of gender and race. We and the Cognitive Behavior Institute value research-informed, compassionate, and purpose driven care.

Individual Therapy for eating disorders, disordered eating, body image disturbance, and co-occuring disorders in children, teens and adults.
