Maureene believes there are multiple factors responsible for a successful outcome in the treatment of eating disorders.

Education in these different factors is essential. They include family attitudes, personality traits, personal expectations, myths acquired from our culture, peer and family input, as well as habits that can be unknown to the individual.

Therapy is provided in an attentive and supportive manner that is free of rigidity and criticism without sacrificing directness and honesty. Maureene's personal style includes the use of cognitive-behavioral therapy, family systems and interpersonal dynamics.

Drug and alcohol dependency may be associated with eating disorders, and Maureene has been trained in the diagnosis and treatment of these addictions. Addictions are not limited to drug and alcohol and may include gambling, sexual behavior, shop lifting, and compulsive internet behaviors.
