How to Treat an Eating Disorder: An Introduction to Treatment Modalities

  • Dates: Thursdays, October 8, 15, 22, & 29, 2026
  • Time: 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM EDT
  • Format: Live Online via Zoom
  • Continuing Education: 6.0 NYS CE Credits
  • Presenter: Marissa Sappho, LCSW, BCD, CEDS-S

Once you recognize that a patient may have an eating disorder, do you know what should happen next? Eating-disorder treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Healthcare and community professionals must understand available treatment approaches, recognize when a higher level of care is needed, and help patients and families navigate appropriate next steps.

Led by Marissa Sappho, LCSW, BCD, CEDS-S, founder of Aurora Behavioral Health, this four-session seminar provides a practical framework for understanding the treatment landscape, collaborating across disciplines, and facilitating appropriate referrals.

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Compare Treatment Modalities: Examine the foundational principles and clinical applications of psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT, DBT, Family-Based Treatment (FBT/Maudsley), IFS, and other core approaches.

  • Differentiate Levels of Care: Distinguish among inpatient hospitalization, residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and outpatient care.

  • Support Treatment Planning & Referrals: Consider how diagnosis, symptom severity, medical risk, and developmental stage inform treatment decisions and interdisciplinary collaboration.

What Past Participants Say:

"This was so excellent—Marissa was amazing. Thank you!"

"I learned so much! Great overview of many different treatment modalities."
