Therapy for Couples

Studies suggest that a spouse or significant other can help their loved one recover more quickly when they develop a deeper understanding of eating disorders or body image disturbances. You and your therapist can determine how to best involve those who love and support you in your recovery process.

The Body Image Therapy Center offers a wealth of resources to help spouses and significant others begin to understand eating disorders and self-harm behaviors, then learn how to support their loved one in recovery. We offer outpatient therapy, couples therapy, support groups and education.

To learn more about how the Body Image Therapy Center can help you or someone you love, call (877)-674-2843 today or CLICK HERE to contact our Intake Coordinator.

“We need more brave men like Andrew Walen speaking out about their eating disorders to break down some of the stigmas that are barriers to effective treatments. Fat bullying and shaming are harmful and often can lead to dieting and shame which can be triggers for an eating disorder in someone who is biologically predisposed.”

Becky Henry Founder, Hope Network for Eating Disorders Caregivers

“Your kind of work — both your content and your style — are much needed in the female-crowded world of eating disorder recovery. There needs to be a movement for the normalization of men with eating disorders just as there was for women with alcoholism. And I believe you are going to be an important part of bringing that about.”

Thom Rutledge Author of Embracing Fear, and co-author of Life Without Ed

“Mr. Walen tells the tale of his journey from shame and self-destruction to a caring, whole individual reaching out to others to help with their pain. His writing is clear, witty and engaging. Even if you don’t have an eating disorder, his story of courage and insight is inspirational.”

Dr. Elizabeth Winter Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins Medical School
