Extended Evaluation and Intensive Treatment Program 
This program is for 4 weeks, Monday-Friday, for a total of 20 days of treatment.  We recommend this program for those individuals seeking treatment from out of state or abroad, and as a result, would not be able to attend weekly therapy sessions.

This program entails 1 hour of individualized BDD therapy per day, 2 hours of behavioral therapy per day (depending on the needs of the individual), and one 25 minute medication management session weekly. This is a total of 62 hours of treatment condensed into four weeks, thus is equivalent to attending therapy one time per week for over a year. We consider the first two weeks of this program as an extended treatment evaluation which allows our clinicians to better understand the client while simultaneously providing treatment.  Additional weeks are available as needed.

A severe condition such as body dysmorphic disorder cannot be "cured" with 4 weeks of treatment. Nevertheless we believe that the intensive treatment protocol is an excellent way to make significant advancements in a therapeutic process that will need to continue after the program. 

Comprehensive Diagnostic Assessment
This includes a 90 minute body dysmorphic disorder evaluation, a 90 minute comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, and 2 hours of psychological testing. This is required for individuals who would like to participate in our intensive treatment program. This is also available for those individuals who are not ready to begin treatment but are interested in receiving an accurate diagnosis and feedback regarding their symptoms.
