Program Structure (8 Weeks)
The core components include:
Choose from one of our highly qualified therapists with specialties designed to meet the needs of their patients. CTFT offers several different therapy modalities in order to provide individualized treatment.
At CTFT we believe that parent involvement in therapy is crucial to a successful outcome. We will work with parents and families to restore balance so families can thrive. Family therapy can range from everyone in the family attending to parent/child, siblings or to just parents attending depending on the needs of the family. Sibling support can be vital if one child has high needs that take up the attention in the family.
Nutrition therapy is a vital part of eating disorder recovery. Without consistent and adequate nutrition, both the brain and body cannot function optimally—and true recovery remains out of reach. That’s where the dedicated team of registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) from Bay Area Nutrition (BAN) comes in.
Working closely with teens and their families, our RDNs explore the complex dynamics of how, what, when, and why individuals eat—or don’t eat. These are not typical dietitians. The BAN RDNs bring specialized training, advanced certifications, and years of experience in treating eating disorders.
Bay Area Nutrition’s RDNs dive into the nuances of eating patterns, restriction, and compensatory behaviors. They help clients and families develop sustainable eating plans, break down barriers to adequate nutrition, and rebuild healthy relationships with food and the body. They collaborate seamlessly with the broader treatment team at BAED to ensure integrated care.
The BAN RDNs are trained in evidence-based approaches such as Family-Based Treatment (FBT), Intuitive Eating, Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) and other modalities tailored to support recovery at every stage.
Medical Monitoring During Eating Disorder Treatment
- Weight Checks
- Blood Pressure and Heart Rate Checks (Orthostatic)
- Lab Work
Why This Matters
Eating disorders can affect the body in many ways, even if your teen or adolescent “looks fine.” Regular medical monitoring helps us catch problems early and keep your child safe while they work on recovery. It also helps the dietitian navigate nutrition recommendations.
Routine Team Care Collaboration
One thing that sets the BAED program apart from other programs is our commitment to good communication. Communication is a vital aspect of a successful response to treatment. One of the problems we often run into is that the providers do not communicate important information affecting treatment. Our program providers are committed to sharing communication after every session to ensure that all providers are on the same page. All recommendations for treatment are made at a team level including the registered dietitian, the individual therapist, the family therapist, the group therapist, the medical care provider, and psychiatrist (if needed).
About the Bay Area Eating Disorder Program
Our Bay Area Eating Disorder Program is intended to support the teen or young adult and their family in navigating challenging times in their lives. Our goal is to bridge the gap between patients who are not progressing with once-a-week therapy but do not meet the criteria for an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Early intervention at an appropriate level supports patients in staying in school or college rather than the interruption an IOP, PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program) or residential treatment program can cause. We want families to have the skills needed to support their teens, tweens and young adults through the roughest of times. Additionally, we want to build community support, reduce isolation and the stigma of mental illness.
The Bay Area Eating Disorder Program (BAED) also addresses the needs of patients returning home from residential care. It can be difficult to reintegrate into the environment that is the same as pretreatment while the adolescent has gone through many changes. We support the family in how to balance the new skills learned in treatment within the home.
