CBT for Binge Eating Disorder: An Effective Approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the leading evidence-based treatment approach for eating disorders. CBT emphasizes collaboration between therapist and client and active participation by the client. With a focus on the present, CBT helps individuals recognize the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. This aims to create lasting changes in how individuals perceive and react to food, body image, and their environment. The structured nature of CBT allows for personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual's needs and challenges. It also provides a framework for sustainable recovery. At Bianca VonBank Therapy, I specialize in providing Binge Eating Disorder Treatment in New York, NY. My practice offers a supportive and effective environment for individuals seeking to overcome their challenges.
