Teen Eating Disorder Treatment in Campbell

It’s difficult to see your child struggle with food, body image, or self-worth. You may notice changes in how they eat, how they view themselves, or how they talk about food. Your support matters—but sometimes professional help is needed.

At Pacific Coast Therapy, we work with teens facing eating disorders in a setting that prioritizes safety, trust, and connection. We offer therapy grounded in evidence-based approaches, while also supporting families in understanding and navigating the recovery process.

What We Treat

At Pacific Coast Therapy, we treat a wide range of eating disorders with compassion, experience, and care that’s built for teens and adolescents.

Anorexia Nervosa

Teens with anorexia may restrict food, lose weight rapidly, or develop rigid eating patterns. We provide therapeutic support, medical coordination, and family involvement to address both physical and emotional recovery.

Bulimia Nervosa

Bulimia often involves cycles of bingeing and purging, which can be hidden due to shame. Therapy helps teens process the emotional factors behind these behaviors and learn healthier coping skills.

Binge Eating Disorder

This disorder can lead to distress and low self-esteem. We work with teens to better understand their eating patterns, reduce shame, and develop a more stable relationship with food.

Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)

ARFID is not about weight, but fear, sensory issues, or lack of interest in food. Our team supports gradual exposure to foods and routines that reduce anxiety and improve nutrition.

Body Image and Co-Occurring Issues

Eating disorders are often connected to anxiety, depression, trauma, or identity concerns. We address the whole picture, including how a teen sees themselves and the emotions behind disordered behaviors.

Our Approach to Care

Every teen’s story is different. We begin by listening—then build a treatment plan tailored to your child’s needs, goals, and strengths. As treatment progresses, we stay flexible and responsive to change.

1. Personalized Treatment Plans

Your teen’s treatment plan is built from scratch, based on their health history, emotional needs, and personal goals.

We also stay flexible. As your teen grows through treatment, their needs may shift. We’re always ready to adjust the plan so they feel supported at every stage of recovery.

2. Evidence-Based Therapies

We use the following approaches proven to support recovery:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Cognitive behavioral therapy helps teens identify and shift distorted thoughts around food and self-worth.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT therapy builds emotional regulation and coping skills for managing distress.
Trauma-Informed Care: Creates a safe, respectful space for teens affected by past or ongoing trauma.

Types of Therapy for Teens

With the proper support, teens can build self-awareness, resilience, and healthier coping strategies.

Individual Therapy

One-on-one sessions help teens explore thoughts and emotions privately, without judgment. Therapy supports the development of healthy coping tools and self-awareness.

Group Therapy

Peers going through similar challenges can reduce feelings of isolation. In group settings, teens practice connection, communication, and shared understanding.

Family Therapy

Eating disorders impact the whole family. These sessions foster better communication, reduce conflict, and help families support recovery sustainably.

A Healing Environment

Teens need a calm, welcoming space where they don’t feel pressured to be okay. We focus on:

Building steady, trusting relationships
Meeting each teen where they are, emotionally and developmentally
Staying present throughout the ups and downs of recovery
