Lees Psychological Services offers specialized treatment for eating disorders and can help you with this problem. Eating disorders are serious problems that get worse without treatment, can cause major medical problems and require psychological intervention from experts. The sooner treatment is started in the progression of an eating disorder, the better. We believe patients can fully recover from eating disorders and work from this philosophy in the treatment we provide. Go to Bios for information on our therapists.
