Our Goal
At Bargellini Therapy, our goal is to intercept harmful thoughts and behaviors before they escalate. We aim to uncover the underlying drivers of disordered behaviors and guide clients in challenging distorted thoughts about food, body image, and control. By fostering understanding and building healthier coping mechanisms, we help clients work toward recovery and reclaim their well-being.
Our Approach
At Bargellini Therapy, we take a multidisciplinary approach that includes your therapist, psychiatrist, nutritionist, and medical doctor. We use evidence based treatments such as DBT and CBT to target behaviors.
We recognize that not every patient is the same, so we curate individual treatment plans to best support your specific needs. We also offer Family Support and Meal Support to optimize your existing support system.
