Welcome!
Since 2008, Dr. Cindy Floyd, FL licensed psychologist, has been dedicated to helping individuals and families establish lasting recovery with compassionate and individualized care. My professional journey treating Eating Disorders began early in my education and training, where I gained years of supervised training and professional mentorship. My clinical work is grounded in evidence-based approaches and is designed to support co-occurring concerns such as anxiety, depression, OCD, panic, and more. My approach is flexible and responsive to meet the needs of the client and their family.
Eating Disorders:
Anorexia Nervosa
Bulimia Nervosa
Binge Eating
Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
Other Disordered Eating (Orthorexia, Night Eating, etc.)
Evidence-Based Treatments:
Modified Family Based Therapy (FBT)
Exposure with Response Prevention Therapy (ERP)
Modified Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Interpersonal Psychotherapy
Often times, these approaches will be used in combination to enhance and accelerate recovery.
Treatment Approach:
Treatment plans will differ depending on severity of symptoms. I may request that you seek the care of a physician for medical monitoring. I might also encourage you to work with a registered dietitian for meal planning. I work closely with several local providers who specialize in the treatment of eating disorders and will guide you in finding a treatment team. Finally, group therapy might be recommended as part of your recovery plan. A full team approach provides the greatest opportunity for success and may reduce the need for inpatient treatment.
I am committed to staying in close contact with all members of your treatment team and will coordinate care with compassion and knowledge. I have knowledge of residential treatment facilities across the country and can help you make the transition to residential treatment, should you need or desire such care. I will stay in contact with your residential treatment team, with your permission. In doing so, I can be prepared to resume our work should you desire my services upon your return.
A Special Note to Parents:
I enjoy helping the entire family recover from the wave of devastation that can be left by an Eating Disorder. You will not be blamed or judged as parents. You love your child and want them well. Their health and recovery will be our treatment goal. We will work toward skills training, meal support, and emotional balance. You will be a critical member of the treatment team. Family participation will be different for every family, and is dependent upon many factors. Dr. Floyd will provide a clear treatment plan at the time of the initial evaluation, and will refine this plan throughout treatment.
For minors, or even young adults living at home, modified Family Based Treatment (FBT) might be indicated. FBT informed techniques will empower parents to provide full meal support at home; gradually returning your child to autonomy. Please view the FBT link on this page for more details.
