A place to talk about restriction and fear
You may want help while also feeling unsure about changing familiar food rules. A consultation gives you space to explain what feels difficult, what treatment you have tried, and what you need from a therapist. You can also reach out as a parent looking for guidance about a teenager.
Understanding the concern
Anorexia nervosa involves severe restriction, fear of weight gain, and a disturbed experience of body weight or shape. A professional assessment considers physical health as well as eating behaviors.
Educational background: NIMH’s eating-disorder overview. Individual assessment is needed to determine diagnosis and care.
What you can bring to the conversation
- How food rules and body-related fears affect your day.
- What has helped or felt difficult in previous care.
- How therapy would fit alongside your medical and nutritional care.

Outpatient therapy and your care team

Questions about anorexia therapy
Can I ask about restrictive eating without a diagnosis?
Yes. Explain your concerns during a consultation. You do not need to decide on a diagnostic label before asking whether Rumi Counseling is an appropriate fit.
Is this a residential or inpatient program?
No. Rumi Counseling provides outpatient psychotherapy. Ask your healthcare team which level of care is appropriate before relying on outpatient appointments.
