Services
What therapies do you use for eating, weight, and body image issues and eating disorders?. Family Based Treatment (FBT), previously called Maudsley family therapy, for teens with eating disorders. No, you don't need a referral from your doctor, however you will only be able to claim a rebate from Medicare if your doctor gives you a specific referral, called a mental health care plan or an eating disorder treatment plan.
Rather than focusing on losing weight, HAES encourages a focus on health and wellbeing for people of all shapes and sizes, including restoring a healthy relationship with food, listening to your hunger and fullness, managing emotions and distress, and encouraging movement and physical activity for the enjoyment and positive benefits it brings, rather than for weight loss.
We offer face to face sessions in our office in Embleton, as well as zoom and phone consults. Medicare and your health fund may provide a rebate for phone or zoom consults, depending on your location and your referral type. The session fee for individual adults is $235, and for all family based therapies is $260.
