Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Avoidance Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (CBT-AR)

CBT-AR is a four-stage modular treatment for ARFID delivered by a mental health clinician. The four stages include: 1) Psychoeducation and early change; 2) Treatment planning; 3) Addressing maintaining mechanisms; and 4) Relapse prevention. For participants ages 10-15 years, patients/guardians attend the sessions. For patients ages 16 and up, the therapy is individual.

BEHAVIORAL

Nutrition counseling will be provided by skilled registered dietitians at the MGH Translational and Clinical Research Center (TCRC). Sessions focus on the foods necessary for a healthy diet, how to meet nutritional needs, how to incorporate healthy exercise, and support for making these changes. For participants ages 10-15 years, patients/guardians attend the sessions. For patients ages 16 and up, the therapy is individual.
