We help young people manage eating disorders such as:

• Anorexia
• Binge eating
• Bulimia
• Other categories of feeding and eating disorders

We screen young people to see if they are at their emotional best, or if they might need help with things like:

• Bullying
• Gender-related issues and identity assessment
• Anxiety and depression
• Questions about sexuality
• Safety on social media
• Substance abuse
• Anorexia, binge eating, bulimia, and other categories of feeding and eating disorders

Our goal is to open the lines of communication so we can get teens the right kind of help for whatever is going on in their lives. As needed, we can refer them to psychiatrists/psychologists, nutritionists, endocrinologists (hormone specialists) or other specialists.

Young female athletes have many of the same concerns as male athletes - such as how to stay in prime shape and train injury-free. They also need to watch their eating and training habits to keep their hormones balanced. Regular periods are one key indicator of balanced hormones.

We evaluate and treat issues related to nutrition and hormone balance for adolescent female athletes, and work closely with sports medicine experts when needed.
