Group Therapies for Eating Disorders
Columbus Park has group therapy options offered during both day and evening hours. Patients may participate in a single group or in multiple groups. Groups include: Open Process Group (group compositions vary based on age, diagnosis, phase of recovery), Body Image Group, Emotional Eating, Group Dining Out, Sustaining Recovery and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Group therapy is a powerful treatment modality where a therapist conducts a treatment session with several patients together at the same time. The recognition of shared feelings and experiences within the group functions to decrease individual isolation and serves as powerful validation of one's personal suffering.

Supported Dining
We provide quality, balanced, varied meals served with the support and guidance of our sensitive and knowledgeable providers. The communal dining experience takes place in the comfortable, non-institutional setting of our center's dining room. We promote a relaxed and congenial environment for the meal portion of the session, followed by thorough processing of the physical and emotional experiences of the meal. There are an abundance of opportunities to practice self-selection and self-portioning and "real life" dining out experiences with the support of our clinicians in a variety of restaurant settings.
