WEATHERFORD, Texas , July 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Eating Disorder Solutions, a provider of highly individualized and gender-inclusive eating disorder treatment, is pleased to offer an eating disorder internship program at its Weatherford, TX location. This initiative reflects a commitment to nurturing the next generation of professionals in the field of eating disorder treatment, offering college students a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a supportive environment.
Eating Disorder Solutions emphasizes a deep appreciation for the significance of providing tailored, comprehensive care that meets the distinct needs of every client. The multidisciplinary team, comprising licensed social workers, case management professionals, therapists, nurses, and more, employs a diverse array of evidence-based treatment modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), expressive arts, experientials, and more. Through this holistic approach, the goal is to facilitate the development of a neutral and peaceful relationship with food, promote body acceptance, and nurture positive self-esteem among clients.
"Our eating disorder internship program is designed to provide college students with a rich and immersive experience in the field of eating disorder treatment," said Nicole Salle, Clinical Director. "We offer a supportive learning environment where students can gain valuable insights and practical skills that will prepare them for a professional career in behavioral health and related fields."
The internship program welcomes master's level students in social work, human services, psychology, and all associated disciplines. Although prior experience in eating disorder treatment is not mandatory, applicants are encouraged to exhibit a keen interest in evidence-based practices and a dedication to personal and professional development.
"Our program is tailored to meet the individual needs of each student, providing comprehensive training that covers all aspects of care, from intake assessments to treatment planning to discharge preparation," Nicole Sallee added. "Participants can expect to receive 6-8 hours per week of supervision and didactics, offering a well-rounded learning experience under the guidance of our experienced team."
Over the years, Eating Disorder Solutions has mentored students from across the nation, equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in their chosen fields. Through the internship program, students have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of individuals struggling with eating disorders while honing their professional skills in a supportive and collaborative environment.
Kelsie Stafford, an alum of the internship program, shared her experience, saying, "I was able to work alongside experienced staff members who made learning and asking questions easy. It was clearly evident everyone genuinely cared about the clients, from the clinical staff to the chef and recovery coaches. The clients truly warmed my heart, and I am so thankful to have learned as much from them as I did from the team members. This was my favorite placement from my entire substance abuse and social work program and I'm grateful that I was able to spend my final four months with such an inspiring group of people. I will never forget it!"
