THERAPIST TO THERAPIST
Clients with Eating Disorders are challenging to treat. Most of us have not had much formal training or supervised experience in this area. Joining professional organizations and attending their conferences can help you increase your knowledge and skills. Obtaining supervision and consultation also enhance our ability to grow and change in our work with clients.
Psychotherapists working with ED clients can become Certified Eating Disorders Specialists (CEDS) by calling the International Association of Eating Disorders Professional (1-800-800-2186)or by using the link below. Dr. Herb is an approved supervisor for IAEDP. (www.iaedp.org)
How do therapists handle difficult personal issues (divorce, death of a spouse or parent, major illness) and still provide care to our clients? Dr. Herb provides phone and face-to-face consultation for therapists who want to further explore the psychological aspects of of working with clients who have disordered eating. If you interested, please call or email Dr. Herb with your request. 408-296-9600.
