Friday, March 13, 2026

12:00–1:30 PM

As awareness of Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS) grows, so does recognition of its complex overlap with eating disorders… yet clinical guidance at this intersection remains limited.

Through three in-depth case studies, presenters will explore how to design truly individualized care plans that address hormonal, nutritional, and psychological needs.

👩‍⚕️ Featuring:
• Laura Cipullo, RD, CDCES, CEDS, RYT
• Shannon Herbert, PhD, RD, CDN, RYT
• Doris Pastore, MD, CEDS

🧠 What you’ll learn:
✔️ How to distinguish hormonal vs nutritional causes of irregular periods
✔️ How to interpret PCOS diagnostic criteria in complex ED presentations
✔️ The role of the cholesterol pathway in hormonal balance
✔️ How to apply an empowerment-based approach integrating nutrition, movement, stress management, supplements, and medication

Is the family nervous system the "missing piece" in ED recovery? 🧠✨

We often focus solely on the client’s relationship with food, but what about the invisible threads of attachment and regulation within the home?

Save the date! Friday, May 1st, join CSAB for a deep dive into: “Family as Medicine: Conscious Parenting and Nervous System Support in Eating Disorder Recovery.”

How to identify family-based nervous system patterns.
The impact of parental emotional attunement on recovery trajectories.
Strategies for developmental repair and emotional safety.

🎓This workshop is eligible for 2 NYS CE Credits
🗓 When: Friday, 5/1/26 | 12pm – 2pm EST

Who We Are

Founded in 1971, The Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy (ICP) is one of the oldest and largest not-for-profit mental health training and treatment facilities in New York City.

The Institute is composed of a group of over 200 therapists. Most of our therapists have training in psychoanalysis or psychoanalytic psychotherapy through one of ICP’s training programs or an equivalent – some are currently in such training. Many of our therapists have completed their graduate degrees and are licensed while others are earning those degrees or are completing licensing requirements. With the exception of a small number of senior therapists, all clinical work is performed under the supervision of a licensed and experienced professional supervisor.

ICP offers a full range of psychotherapeutic services, including individual and group psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis in addition to more specialized treatment services. ICP is dedicated to providing high quality therapy at low to moderate cost, offering post-graduate training for therapists, and educating the public about mental health issues.
