MBHA is here with gentle support, treatment, and guidance to help you find your balance.
MBHA is here with gentle support, treatment, and guidance to help you find your balance. We believe in a collaborative approach to treatment that honors you as an individual and a treatment approach that is specific to your needs. We provide education and support working together with you to understand and change long-standing behaviors, habits and coping mechanisms that are leaving you emotionally and physically depleted.
No matter how ready you are to move forward, therapy can be emotionally and physically challenging. Taking an approach that makes the most sense to you and pacing yourself in a way that feels safe and comfortable help to build a foundation upon which you can evolve as you begin to heal. MBHA is committed to working with each client to thoughtfully form this foundation and then build from it at a pace that is appropriate.
Treatment at MBHA can consist of individual, couples and/or family therapy, parent support, group therapy, creative arts therapy and nutritional counseling. Our expert and hand-picked team of professionals have a wide variety of backgrounds and training to facilitate these.
MBHA believes that health is multifaceted and that mental health is a key component to overall wellness. Where appropriate, MBHA is pleased to work as part of a client’s pre-existing treatment team which might include other therapists, dietitians, psychiatrists, and physicians or nurse practitioners. MBHA can also provide many of these services in house and/or can provide references as needed with treatment partners we have carefully vetted.
MBHA’s Eating Disorder Treatment Philosophy
MBHA has a special expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of eating disorders. Regardless of the type, we offer a comprehensive treatment approach which usually includes individual and group psychotherapy, nutritional counseling, medical monitoring, medication management, family support, education and more. MBHA’s team of specialists can incorporate carefully chosen treatment options that offer an individualized, compassionate, and thoughtful treatment approach. MBHA is also expert at providing level-of-care consultations for those who are unsure of what intensity of treatment would be most appropriate.
MBHA’s ED treatment philosophy is weight neutral and aligned with Health at Every Size™ principles. MBHA recognizes that health is multifaceted and not simply reflected by body size. At MBHA, we work with our clients to understand and find freedom from the rules and falsehoods of diet culture, develop a more intuitive and peaceful relationship with food and movement, and find ways to cope with the difficulties of living in a society that so equates health with body size and thinness with superiority without needing to resort to disordered eating behaviors.
