ARFID Assessement

Rediscover Comfort and Joy in Food

An Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) assessment is a specialized evaluation for individuals who experience significant eating or feeding disturbances. Unlike other eating disorders, ARFID is not driven by a fear of gaining weight or body image concerns. Instead, it may stem from a lack of interest in food, sensory sensitivities, or a past negative experience like choking. This service provides a supportive, understanding environment to identify the root causes of these challenges.

Benefits of an ARFID Assessment

A professional assessment for ARFID is a crucial step for individuals and families struggling with extreme picky eating that impacts health and well-being. It provides a formal diagnosis, differentiating ARFID from typical developmental eating behaviors or other medical issues.
