*Important Disclosure:
I work full-time in a specialized eating disorders program. What I can provide to you through my own private practice, Pauline Cardinal Social Work, is education about eating disorders, and assistance in being referred to specialized eating disorder programs, while also providing you support with life stressors while you wait for treatment. The reason I cannot provide you with eating disorder treatment is your safety - based on what I know about the medical complications of an eating disorder, along with the medical complications that can arise when treating an eating disorder, I ethically cannot provide you with eating disorder treatment without a specialized medical/multi-disciplinary team that is required to treat a client with an eating disorder safety.
