A Deep Dive into Eating Disorder Treatment at Shoreline ED Treatment Centre, California, with Dr. Sheena Gill

Today I’m talking to Dr Sheena Gill who is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Certified Eating Disorders Specialist who has been working with eating disorders since 2014. She received both her masters and doctorate in psychology at Loma Linda University.  Dr. Sheena has experience working with diverse populations of adults, adolescents, and families at various levels of care including inpatient hospitalization, residential, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and traditional outpatient. As a clinician, she takes an integrative therapeutic approach by utilizing client-centred and humanistic principles to deliver Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Family-Based Treatment (FBT) interventions. She prioritises developing a therapeutic relationship with clients and their families to help them reach their treatment goals. Dr. Sheena previously helped Shoreline (California based eating disorder treatment centre) develop their first residential treatment program and is currently the Clinical Director for Shoreline’s outpatient programs. She is passionate about promoting inclusive and culturally appropriate care for those who struggle with eating disorders and looks forward to being instrumental to the continued growth of Shoreline. In her free time, Dr. Sheena enjoys spending time with her family, playing with her dog, and baking all kinds of goodies for her loved ones.  In the episode today, you’ll hear all about Shoreline’s therapeutic approach to supporting people with eating disorders, exploring the inpatient and outpatient programmes. Dr Sheena will talk about the ethos and mission of Shoreline with its individualised treatment approach and ‘all foods fit’ model. She’ll discuss different therapies used in treatment outlining how the deeper work is combined with symptom-based skills and behaviour change. You’ll get a real insight into Shoreline’s approach and the incredibly valuable work they are doing in supporting people to heal from eating disorders. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.   To find out more about Dr Sheena and Shoreline Eating Disorder Centre:- Website: https://www.shorelineeatingdisorders.com/ Instagram: @shorelineeatingdisordercenter   This week’s sponsor: Elle Mace https://www.ellemace.com/   Harriet Frew's current offers: - Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating Course with Harriet Frew - 50% off with code FREEDOMISPOSSIBLE https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/online-courses.html Online Event - Inspiring Prevention of Eating Disorders and Body Image Issues https://www.eventbrite.com/e/inspiring-prevention-of-eating-disorders-and-body-image-issues-tickets-601388086957
