Let us help.

University Health Services (UHS) and the UT Counseling and Mental Health Center (CMHC) offer assessment and support for a wide scope of eating disorders including anorexia, bulimia, emotional eating, and binge eating. Services provided by a team of professionals include medical assessment, nutrition assessment, and psychological counseling.

Who are the members of the Mindful Eating team?

A physician and a registered dietitian from UHS, and a counselor from CMHC serve on the team. All of them have special interest in and experience with disordered eating.

What about confidentiality?

All information is kept strictly confidential. A release of information is requested to authorize the team to discuss or exchange information with one another. However, it does not authorize release of information to any third party, including family, friends, or the University. Except as required by law, no information will be released to anyone without the student's written permission. For more information, visit the UHS website and click on Privacy and Confidentiality.

How much does it cost?

All appointments are free. However, charges may be assessed for lab work and other procedures that may be needed for diagnosis. Missed appointments will also incur a charge.
