What eating disorders look like
Eating disorders are medical conditions, not choices or a lack of willpower. They can involve restricting food, binge eating, or purging, along with intense worry about weight or body image, and they affect people of every age, gender, and background.
How psychiatric care helps
A psychiatric evaluation clarifies what is happening and screens for related concerns like anxiety or depression. Medication management can support recovery, and we coordinate referrals to therapists and dietitians so your care team works together.

Visiting our office
Psychiatric visits sit alongside the rest of a care team, such as a therapist, dietitian, or primary care doctor, rather than replacing them. One phone call to our team settles two questions first: whether a provider is taking new patients with eating disorders, and whether you could be seen in Long Beach, by video, or both. It helps to have the names of anyone already involved in your care ready.
