What is the difference between therapy and recovery coaching?
Understanding Therapy at Recover Newport Beach
Therapy at Recover Newport Beach focuses on diagnosing and treating eating disorders and any underlying trauma. It helps you connect your past with your present and guides you in processing feelings that might be holding you back from a healthy, happy life. Therapy can be short-term or long-term, depending on your personal history and needs.
Exploring Recovery Coaching Services
Recovery coaching at Recover Newport Beach assists with day-to-day goals and challenges without focusing on deeper issues like past trauma or family history. It is designed to complement therapy, not replace it.
How Therapy and Recovery Coaching Work Together
Recovery coaching typically occurs alongside eating disorder and trauma therapy. Your recovery coach collaborates with your therapist, acting as a mentor by providing meal support, helping with body image issues, encouraging a healthy relationship with exercise, and assisting with practical tasks like grocery or clothes shopping.
Determining the Right Path for Your Recovery
In some cases, an individual may only need recovery coaching without additional therapy. This will be assessed during your intake, and we will recommend an appropriate plan based on your current stage in the recovery process and specific needs.
What is holistic recovery?
Holistic recovery aims to connect your mind, body, and spirit so that your healing encompasses all parts of you. In addition to traditional talk therapy and recovery coaching, we offer various integrative services—such as somatic experiencing, yoga, breathwork, and dance therapy—to help you feel more connected and aligned in your healing journey.
Therapy Sessions
What should I expect from my first session?
In your first session, your clinician will conduct a thorough intake of your history and current situation. This allows them to assess your needs, formulate a treatment plan, and make appropriate recommendations for moving forward.
How often should I participate in treatment?
The type and frequency of treatment depend on your specific needs. You and your clinician will work together to decide how often you should participate in therapy, coaching, or group sessions to help you heal and progress in your recovery.
Specialized Treatments
Do you treat other issues besides eating disorders?
Yes, we address a variety of related issues, including:
Eating disorders and related conditions: This includes disordered eating habits, body dysmorphia, obsessive dieting, and exercise addiction. (Our services are specifically designed for individuals facing these challenges.)
Underlying trauma: Our therapists have specialized training in trauma-focused modalities to help heal the trauma that is often at the root of eating disorders and addictions.
Co-occurring mental health issues: We can also help with conditions like OCD, anxiety, and depression, as these are often intertwined with eating disorders. (Our recovery coaches and group facilitators are trained in trauma-informed care to support clients with these needs.)
Do you only work with individuals?
We work with individuals, couples, and families. Additionally, we offer various types of group therapy as part of our services. For more information about all of our services, please Click here.
Do you only work with women?
Our clients are primarily women and girls (ages 12 and up). We also involve their partners and extended families in the recovery process as needed to ensure comprehensive support.
For Loved Ones
What services do you offer for parents and families?
We offer several support services for families and loved ones:
Couples and family therapy (one-on-one sessions with a therapist)
Recovery coaching for parents (guidance and support for parents of individuals in recovery)
Family support group therapy (therapist-led group sessions for family members)
What can I expect from 1-on-1 recovery coaching for parents?
One-on-one parent coaching helps parents learn about the eating disorder recovery process and navigate the day-to-day issues their child may experience during healing. It also helps the family establish healthier relationships that are not centered around the eating disorder, thereby improving overall family dynamics.
This individualized coaching serves as a source of support and guidance for parents, empowering them to best support their child in recovery.
Are you providing in-person services?
Yes! We offer therapy and recovery coaching sessions in-person at our Southern California office, as well as in-home sessions when needed. We also provide recovery coaching services nationally and worldwide via virtual sessions. In addition, we offer group therapy options both in-person and online (virtual).
