Individual Dual Sessions with Meredith & Jill

One of the most important components of any recovery whether that is an eating disorder, addiction, trauma, anxiety, mood, etc…is the collaboration of all treatment team providers. If you’ve ever experienced the confusion that emerges when you hear different answers from different providers, then you can fully understand the importance of collaboration. Best patient care drives the highest ethical standards and one of the best ways to ensure this is with all providers finding effective means of communicating with one another on all aspects of your care.

One of our favorite ways of treatment team collaboration with eating disorders, in particular, is doing joint sessions with another provider. What better way to ensure all providers are on the same page and giving consistent messages and recommendations to our client along with the collaboration of the client and his or her thoughts and feelings? In my experience, there are many profound light bulb moments when engaging in these sessions. As providers, we deepen our understanding of each other’s role in the treatment process without practicing beyond our own scope. We also provide a safe atmosphere for our clients to have healthy relationships with all providers by reducing mixed messages or any unintentional splitting of providers that can sometimes occur.

Harmony Therapy Group has partnered with Wellness Coaching and Nutrition Therapy to form an additional practice called A Collaborative Approach designed just for this benefit to clients. With therapist and dietitian co-led individual sessions, family sessions, groups and supervision for other providers, we consolidate the time, effort and money spent in seeking these services separately without compromising on the quality of care.

Because we have a unique approach to treating eating disorders on an outpatient basis and both Meredith and Jill are highly trained in a variety of evidence based treatments, it is important to understand our method. We only take a small amount of individual clients at a time and we provide a 6 month commitment to that individuals care as long as all parties are in agreement. Our first month is highly intensive where we meet weekly starting out with a 2 or 3 hour session and later in the month sessions will be 75 or 90 minutes. At the end of the 4th session, there will be an evaluation of what is needed over the next 5 months and this may include weekly or biweekly follow ups for 75 or 90 minutes. These may be more self directed than the first 4 sessions, but you will feel the support of Meredith and Jill throughout the sessions and with many resources sent you way to help support your recovery journey. This program works best for individuals who are highly self directed, goal driven and willing to put in the hard work of recovery. Our goal is for you to see and feel that you are making tremendous progress in a short amount of time and have the skills to sustain this progress with other support beyond the 6 months. In order for us to maximize your time and make sure we are the best fit for your needs, please answer the follow questions and one of us will follow up within 1-2 business days.

What state and time zone would you be physically located for our sessions?

I acknowledge these sessions will be 100% telehealth via Zoom and confirm I will have the privacy (no one else walking around, access to headphones, etc), space to stay focused (not driving, walking, etc) and otherwise am able to treat the appointment with the same respect as an in person session.

Are you willing to participate in homework that is assigned prior to the next session (watch videos, do worksheets, read blogs, listen to podcasts, etc)?

I understand that due to the nature of the solution focused orientation of these sessions, the first 4 sessions are intensive and critical to attend and prioritize for the first month. The intensive sessions will range in time from 75 minutes to up to 3 hours.

I understand A Collaborative Approach is not in network with any insurance and the sessions will be private pay only.
