During the school year, managing Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder can feel impossible. Between packed lunches, cafeteria stress, sports schedules, and homework, there is rarely enough time or emotional bandwidth to focus on expanding a teen's food repertoire.
That’s why we designed our 8-Week Collaborative ARFID Group to run this summer, starting July 8th.
With the pressure of the school year paused, summer gives your family the space to breathe, slow down, and dedicate time to building a new relationship with food.
What the program offers:
For Teens (Ages 12-17): Dr. Heather Rosen utilizes CBT-AR to help teens understand their sensory or anxiety-based food avoidance and build real bravery around new foods.
For Parents: Dr. Valerie Scelsa uses the SPACE protocol to help caregivers end the exhausting "accommodation cycle" and bring peace back to the dinner table.
Together: Supported, real-time food exposures in a safe, non-judgmental clinical environment.
Give your teen the tools to head into the next school year with more confidence, more flexibility, and less mealtime anxiety.
Dates: Wednesdays, July 8 – August 26, 2026
Location: Chappaqua, NY
