Kids with Special Needs
List of Private Community Therapists & Dieticians
Our program does not endorse one therapist over another. The following is a list of therapists and clinics that we are aware of in the community who have experience working with children and adolescents.
Please also refer to the National Eating Disorder Information Centre (NEDIC), they have an up to date service provider directory if you are looking for an eating disorder program, therapist, or dietician in your area. They also have a helpline for counseling and service connection: 1-866-633-4220
(416-340-4156 in Toronto) which is available Monday to Friday 9:00am-9:00pm. Please visit their website: http://www.nedic.ca/
