Not all dietitians specialize in eating disorders, but many are skilled in this area. Resources to help you in your search for an eating disorder dietitian are surprisingly good.
The most comfortable way to find a dietitian is by word of mouth. If you know of others who are seeing dietitians, ask them about their experiences. You can also call local hospitals to find out who they recommend, or check with your doctor, therapist, or psychiatrist. They are often great sources for referrals.
