Understanding Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that often involve emotional pain, perfectionism, trauma, or a need for control. They can affect anyone—regardless of age, gender, or background.

Common types include:

  • Anorexia Nervosa
  • Bulimia Nervosa
  • Binge Eating Disorder
  • Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
  • Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders (OSFED)

Signs may include:

  • Obsessive thoughts about food, weight, or body image
  • Restricting or avoiding certain foods
  • Binge eating or purging behaviors
  • Excessive exercise or body-checking
  • Guilt, shame, or anxiety around eating

Eating disorders are not about food—they’re about using food to cope. And with the right support, recovery is possible.

Our Approach to Treatment

Caroline Rutledge is trained in evidence-based approaches for eating disorder recovery, including:

  • EMDR: Addressing trauma that may contribute to disordered eating
  • Maudsley Family Therapy (FBT): Family-based treatment for adolescents with eating disorders
  • CBT for Eating Disorders (CBT-E): Targeting unhelpful beliefs and behaviors around food and body image
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Building emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Focusing on values, not appearance

Caroline is also in the process of becoming a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS)—reflecting her commitment to providing ethical, expert care in this sensitive area.
