Eating Disorder & ARFID Training for Professionals: Expand Your Clinical Skills
Treating eating disorders can be complex—and sometimes the foundational education you received simply isn’t enough for the cases you encounter in practice.
Maybe you understand the basics of Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), but you're looking for more practical guidance on assessment, treatment planning, and interventions. Perhaps you're working with ARFID alongside OCD, trauma, neurodivergence, or gastrointestinal concerns. Or maybe you're supporting clients with severe and enduring eating disorders and navigating difficult questions about ethics, medical stability, treatment goals, and individualized recovery.
Dallas Nutritional Counseling offers professional eating disorder and ARFID trainings designed to help clinicians deepen their knowledge and develop practical skills they can bring into their work.
Our current professional training library includes on-demand education covering advanced ARFID treatment, ARFID and co-occurring diagnoses, and severe and enduring eating disorders.
Advanced ARFID Training for Eating Disorder Professionals
“Now What?” — An Advanced ARFID Training
If you already understand the fundamentals of ARFID but find yourself wondering, “What do I actually do in treatment?” this course was created for you.
“Now What?” — An Advanced ARFID Training moves beyond an introduction to Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder and focuses on intervention, application, and clinical skill building.

ARFID assessment tools and techniques
Establishing realistic treatment goals
Prioritizing interventions and food exposures
Common co-occurring diagnoses
Differences between treating adolescents and adults with ARFID
Effective use of session time

ARFID Training for Co-Occurring Diagnoses
Navigating the Maze: Treating ARFID & Co-Occurring Diagnoses
ARFID does not always occur on its own.
Clinicians may encounter clients whose avoidant or restrictive eating exists alongside mental health conditions, neurodevelopment differences, gastrointestinal concerns, trauma histories, or other eating disorders. These overlapping concerns can make both assessment and treatment more complicated.
Navigating the Maze: Treating ARFID & Co-Occurring Diagnoses provides a practical deep dive into treating ARFID when additional diagnoses and clinical concerns are present.
Topics include ARFID alongside:
Trauma
Other eating disorders
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Neurodivergence
Gastrointestinal concerns
PANDAS/PANS
Participants will explore current ARFID research, evidence-informed interventions, and practical strategies that can be integrated into clinical work.
For clinicians who find themselves asking, “Is this ARFID, the co-occurring condition, or both—and how should that change treatment?” this training provides a framework for approaching these more complex presentations.

Severe and Enduring Eating Disorder Training
Stable Enough: Ethics & Treatment of Severe & Enduring Eating Disorders
Eating disorder treatment can become particularly complex when clinicians are supporting individuals with persistent, long-standing eating disorders.
Traditional definitions of recovery and conventional treatment approaches may not always fit the needs, circumstances, or goals of every client. Providers can also encounter challenging ethical questions related to medical stability, autonomy, quality of life, treatment expectations, and individualized recovery.
Stable Enough: Ethics & Treatment of Severe & Enduring Eating Disorders is a professional training created by Dallas Nutritional Counseling in collaboration with Angela Harris Counseling.
The workshop introduces an alternative framework for working with severe and enduring eating disorders and helps clinicians consider ways to move beyond treatment approaches that may leave both providers and clients feeling stuck.
Participants will learn about:
Criteria to consider when assessing severe and enduring eating disorders
Medical, nutritional, and therapeutic interventions
Establishing realistic treatment goals and expectations
Ethical considerations in eating disorder treatment
Differentiating between medically stable and medically unstable clients
Developing a more individualized approach to eating disorder recovery
The recorded workshop offers 3 CEUs, including ethics, after completion of the required post-test and CEU evaluation.
Cost: $125
