Compassionate Support for Recovery and Lasting Change. Meet with an Eating Disorder Therapist today!
At Lowcountry Behavioral Health, we understand that eating disorders, including Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, and Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) are serious conditions that impact both physical and emotional health. Struggling with body image, food, or weight can feel isolating, but recovery is possible with the right support.
Our team provides eating disorder treatment in Mt Pleasant SC and Charleston SC, and virtual therapy throughout South Carolina, offering evidence-based care.
Family Based Treatment (FBT)
Family Based Treatment (FBT), also known as the Maudsley Approach, is the gold standard for eating disorder treatment in adolescents. Unlike therapies that focus only on the individual, FBT actively involves parents and caregivers in the recovery process, empowering families to play a central role in their child’s healing.
FBT is an evidence based therapy that takes place in three phases and typically done in about one year. FBT helps families create structure around meals, challenge eating disorder thoughts, and rebuild trust and resilience. At Lowcountry Behavioral Health we offer FBT in person and virtually throughout South Carolina.
Who Can Benefit from FBT?
Family Based Treatment (FBT) is most effective for children and adolescents with eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). FBT is valuable for families who want to take an active role in their child’s recovery. By working together, parents and caregivers gain the tools to support renourishment, challenge eating disorder thoughts, and help their loved ones return to a healthy developmental path.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Enhanced (CBT-E) for Eating Disorders
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Enhanced (CBT-E) is the leading evidence based treatment for eating disorders in adults and older adolescents. It is highly individualized focusing on each person’s unique needs, thought patterns, and behaviors around food, body image, and self-esteem. It is effective in treatment Binge Eating Disorder, Bulimia Nervosa, and Anorexia Nervosa.
CBT-E is structured into four stages
Understanding patterns
Building regularity
Addressing maintaining factors
Relapse prevention
At Low Country Behavioral Health we provide CBT-E for eating disorders- including binge eating disorder, bulimia, and anorexia through both in-person sessions in Mt Pleasant SC, Charleston SC, and virtual counseling across South Carolina. This approach helps clients move beyond the cycle of restriction, bingeing, or purging towards greater freedom, confidence, and health.
Treatment for ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder)
ARFID is more than “picky eating.” It often involves strong fears about eating (such as choking or vomiting), sensitivity to textures or tastes, or a lack of interest in food. ARFID can impact nutrition, growth, and daily life, but it is treatment with the right support.
At Lowcountry Behavioral Health, we offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy AR (CBT-AR), an evidence based therapy designed to help individuals and families:
Understand the thoughts and fears that maintain ARFID
Reduce anxiety and avoidance around eating
Increase food flexibility and variety in a structured, supportive way
Build coping strategies for long-term progress and confidence
