Eating Disorder Treatment Collaborative (EDTC) offers comprehensive outpatient psychotherapy and nutrition counseling services to women and men, adults, adolescents and children through a network of affiliated independent licensed professionals. We have offices in Jericho, Hauppauge (Suffolk County) and New York City, NY. Working together we specialize in the treatment of anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, disordered eating, exercise obsession and body image dissatisfaction. We develop compassionate and eclectic individualized programs that simultaneously address emotional, behavioral and physiological needs.  Since many eating disorder sufferers also struggle with anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive symptoms and post-traumatic stress, our programs are multifaceted and focus on these issues as well.   EDTC provides evaluations and consultations to sufferers and families to help determine the necessary level of care and appropriate treatment protocols.  Individual and group therapy as well as several family based therapy programs* are utilized in accordance with the needs of the individual. In an atmosphere of acceptance we promote growth and change.
