Monmouth Psychological Associates is a multimodal, multidisciplinary practice in Central New Jersey. The Eating Disorders Program, under the clinical supervision of Donald E. Erwin, Ph.D., provides comprehensive psychological and nutritional care for eating disorder patients. All services are provided by individuals experienced and trained in the treatment of eating disorders.
The Eating Disorders Program offers comprehensive treatment for Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa. These disorders can develop as a result of issues that are:
Cultural
Psychological
Biological
Social
Appropriate interventions can be targeted at bringing relief from signs and symptoms associated with these disorders, as well as preparing the individual to have a healthier and more functional lifestyle. At Monmouth Psychological Associates, underlying psychological causes are addressed through individual psychotherapy, while the manifestation of these causes (behaviors involving food and weight) are addressed in individual sessions with a registered dietitian.
In addition to providing help to individuals seeking recovery from eating disorders in our offices, the staff at Monmouth Psychological Associates is dedicated to community outreach and education. We are frequently in the hospitals, schools, and community agencies doing educational conferences and running support groups.
