GroupsYoung Teen’s INNER IMAGE Group
Tuesdays or Thursdays 6:00 – 7:00 PM

Eating disorders for young teens often result in increased social isolation. This INNER IMAGE therapy group is for girls 12-15 years of age (approximately) to support their efforts to recover from Anorexia and Bulimia and get support from their peers who understand. The purpose of the group is to provide a safe place to express the underlying feelings and thoughts that are beneath the symptoms of the eating disorder and body dissatisfaction. The goal is to increase coping for the girls with their stresses and challenges, with peers, academics, sports, and family, and resume their normal developmental path.
Expressive modalities such as journal writing, relaxation techniques, and art will be utilized to help increase their ability to identify and articulate feeling states.
Group members must be in concurrent individual therapy. To schedule your daughter’s intake interview, inquire about group fees and next start date, call Barbara Reese at (973) 783-2292.
