Your experience deserves more than a label
If your eating concerns do not seem to match the descriptions you have read, you may feel unsure where to start. Rumi Counseling includes OSFED within its eating-disorder services. You can ask about your particular experience, previous diagnoses, and whether the practice’s outpatient approach fits your needs.
Understanding the concern
OSFED describes clinically significant eating difficulties that do not meet all criteria for another eating-disorder diagnosis. It can include atypical anorexia and is not a measure of how much support someone deserves.
Educational background: NEDA’s OSFED overview. Individual assessment is needed to determine diagnosis and care.
What you can bring to the conversation
- Questions about a diagnosis you have received.
- Eating concerns that interfere with the way you want to live.
- Your current care team and what additional support you are seeking.

Outpatient therapy and your care team
Rumi Counseling provides psychotherapy. Eating-disorder care may also require medical monitoring and nutritional support; some people need a more intensive setting. Discuss treatment fit and coordination before starting.
