Eating Disorder Therapy for Children
Helping children with extreme picky eating and ARFID build flexible, relaxed eating. Parents lead the way.
If mealtimes feel stressful or stuck, you’re not alone.
Eating challenges in children can take many forms, from extreme picky eating to significant food avoidance. These patterns are not willful or defiant. They are often driven by anxiety, sensory sensitivity, or rigidity. With the right approach, they are highly treatable.
Narrow range of foods
Your child eats only a very limited range of foods and resists expanding beyond it.
Low interest in food
Your child has little interest in eating and gets full after just a few bites. You’ve heard “they’ll eat when they’re hungry” but that hasn’t been your experience.
Fear of food
Your child worries they will choke or get sick. Meals feel tense, emotional, or overwhelming.
Parents Learn To Lead
Eating happens many times a day, every day. Because of that, meaningful change for a child almost always begins with supporting parents. Our goal is to help you become confident and skilled in guiding your child toward more flexible, relaxed eating. With coaching and practical tools, parents learn how to help their child expand foods, reduce anxiety around eating, and build healthier patterns over time. This approach is both effective and efficient, placing parents in the driver’s seat and giving them the confidence to support their child’s progress every day.
