EDUCATION, TRAINING, and EXPERTISE: Our provider team includes trained and licensed therapists, medical providers, and dietitians, all of whom specialize in eating disorders, as well as certified mentors for both the patient and the people supporting them.
Every therapist is licensed (with licenses such as LCSW, LMFT, AMFT, and others) and has training in eating disorder treatment. Our therapists are trained in family-based treatment, enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT-E), and other modalities such as DBT, ERP, and TBT-S. Our medical providers are MDs (physicians, pediatricians, or psychiatrists), registered nurses, and nurse practitioners with training in eating disorders. Every dietitian has been licensed as an RD and has experience working with patients with eating disorders.
Our mentors are Equip employees who either have lived experience with an eating disorder (meaning they have recovered from an eating disorder themselves) or have helped a loved one recover from an eating disorder. Mentors also receive specialized mentorship training through Equip.
All Equip providers receive ongoing training and supervision.
TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: Equip is the leading virtual, evidence-based eating disorder treatment program on a mission to ensure that everyone with an eating disorder has access to treatment that works. Eating disorder treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all, but research has proven certain approaches are most effective. We integrate these two realities by providing personalized care that pulls from evidence-based practices, such as FBT and CBT-E, to best meet each patient’s unique needs.
