Effective eating disorder treatment requires coordinated care across disciplines. This clinician-focused webinar, led by a Registered Dietitian and a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in eating disorder treatment, examines the distinct yet complementary roles of each provider within a multidisciplinary treatment model. Participants will explore how dietitians and therapists assess and intervene from different clinical frameworks, and how joint sessions can be used creatively and strategically to support nutritional rehabilitation, emotional processing, and behavior change. The presenters will discuss clinical indications for joint sessions, ethical and scope-of-practice considerations, and how collaboration can reduce mixed messaging, enhance treatment adherence, and improve client outcomes. Through case examples and practical guidance, clinicians will gain actionable tools for integrating joint sessions into client care more effectively, whether practicing in private practice, group settings, or higher levels of care.
