Treating Eating Disorders
We’ve all been there. You’re sitting in session with a client, who begins to speak about disordered eating patterns and how it is affecting them emotionally. You pause because you thought your client’s presenting issue was something completely different. If you get it, then this training is exactly what you need. This is an in-person training, facilitated by Dr. Marcuetta Sims. She will iron out ways to effectively diagnose and treat clients with eating disorders, particularly when working with clients of color.
