Amanda Marcus

LCSW

CREDENTIALS/DISCIPLINE: LCSW

BOARD CERTIFIED: No

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Number of years treating patients with eating disorders: 15+

Number of patients with eating disorders I treat annually: 10+

EDUCATION, TRAINING, and EXPERTISE:

Prior clinical director of a residential eating disorder program. I have over 12 years working in this field as an individual therapist, meal and recovery coach, group facilitator and supervisor. Training from the Center for the study of Anorexia and Bulimia.

TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY:

I use a multidisciplinary, person-centered approach to treating eating disorders. I pull from psychodynamic, DBT, and CBT theories. Typically I work with other professionals as part of a team to treat my patients including RD and MD. I believe your healthy self will heal your eating disorder self. I believe that when we give our healthy selves what they truly need we put the ED out of a job on the path to healing. I believe that all foods fit and in health at every size. Full recovery is possible in my eyes.
