At Radiance, our licensed therapists have spent many years treating eating disorders, anxiety and trauma, and they have all trained at world class treatment facilities like Renfrew, Monte Nido and Nemours Children's Hospital.
Our team is committed to several important principals when it comes to therapy:
1.) Therapy should be enjoyable (at least most of the time!)
2.) Humor is curative and so is your relationship with your therapist
3.) Your therapist should be willing to collaborate with your other care team members, if you have them (like doctors, psychiatrists and nutritionists). If you don’t have them, but you would benefit, they should have the connections to help you build this team.
4.) People DO make full recoveries from eating and anxiety disorders
5.) Health comes in all shapes and sizes
6.) Your therapist should feel like a real person to you that you have a real relationship with
We are all trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Family-Based Therapy. Some of our therapists also have specialized training in trauma, substance abuse, nutrition and pediatrics. All of our therapists are HAES (Health at Every Size) trained or certified. We are an LBGTQIA+ affirming and competent practice.
Often, we take a top down and a bottoms up approach concurrently. Meaning that while we try to get to the root of the issue for lasting change (bottoms up), we also usually work on behavioral changes at the same time (top down) so that people can have the clarity of mind to do the deeper work of therapy.
No matter what, our therapists draw from an eclectic mix of approaches and pride themselves on customizing each client's therapy to meet their unique needs.
We specialize in all kinds of disordered eating and related issues, including:
- Anorexia
- Bulimia
- Binge-eating
- Body dysmorphia
- AFRID
- Exercise Addiction
- Orthorexia
- Chronic Dieting
- Emotional Eating
Most people are struggling with disordered eating because of other issues. In orders words, the disordered eating is not the problem as much as it is the symptom of another issue. For this reason, we also have extensive experience treating concerns like:
-Trauma
- Anxiety
- OCD
- Depression
-Perfectionism
- Low self-esteem
- Substance abuse
- Self-harm
- ADHD
- Relationship issues
- Post-partum concerns
- Phobias relating to food (like vomiting or choking)
Though we are all ED and anxiety specialists, we often treat clients who have some of the aforementioned concerns, but without disordered eating.
Therapy is a valuable investment in your health and well-being, but most highly sought after specialists are not In-Network with insurance companies, which can be costly for clients. At Radiance Therapy Group, we aim to make therapy accessible to more people by working with IBX insurance plans. Sessions are 53 minutes in length and are $190-$230. However, if you are using an IBX plan, you are responsible for only your copay and coinsurance, once your deductible is met. We accept the following IBX health insurance plans:
- Personal Choice
- Keystone Health Plan East (non CHIP plans)
- Independence BlueCard
-Independence Administrators National PPO
- Highmark Federal Blue Cross
- Highmark Blue Shield
- Blue HPN
- Independence Blue HPN
-Blue Cross/Blue Shield PPO
- Anthem BC
- Horizon BC
-Amerihealth
We do not currently accept CHIP or Medicare plans.
For clients who do not have one of these plans, we accept credit cards and HSA/FSA cards and provide documentation for out-of-network reimbursement for all insurance plans.
All of our clinicians work virtually and can see clients located in PA. Some of our clinicians can also see clients in a variety of other states (see profiles below). We can usually accommodate evening and weekend appointment requests for virtual appointments. Some of our therapists also see clients in-person in our Rittenhouse Square office.
