Question by : What is the proper name for an Eating Disorder Psychologist?
People ask me what I would like to be when I grow up (Which is a psychologist specializing in eating disorders). I tell them this, but I was wondering if there is a proper name for this field of psychology?

Best answer:

Answer by Katie
As someone who has visited countless people in this profession for obvious reasons, I’ve always just heard them called “psychologists”, and I’ve been referred to them because they “specialize in eating disorders”. I mean you could tell people you want to go into clinical psychology if you want to do more of the counseling and/or medication, or that you want to be a nutritionist if you want to help people with eating disorders reform their eating habits and track their weight and health. But I’d say “psychologist specializing in eating disorders” works just fine.
