Eating Disorder Solutions Launches Free, Clinically Reviewed Self-Assessment Tools

Eating Disorder Solutions free self-reflection tools, now available at eatingdisordersolutions.com/tools

New online tools help individuals and families recognize warning signs, understand levels of care, and prepare insurance questions before reaching out for help

WEATHERFORD, TEXAS, TX, UNITED STATES, September 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- WEATHERFORD, Texas, September 14, 2026 — Eating Disorder Solutions (EDS), a residential and outpatient eating disorder treatment center based in Weatherford, Texas, today announced the launch of a suite of free, clinically reviewed self-reflection tools at eatingdisordersolutions.com/tools/. The tools are designed to help individuals, and the people who care about them, recognize patterns worth discussing with a professional, understand what different levels of eating disorder care involve, and prepare informed questions before contacting a treatment provider or insurance company.

The suite includes ten free tools in total: a general self-reflection screener; checklist-style assessments for emotional eating, binge eating, body image, ARFID (avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder), rigid food rules and an overly narrow focus on "clean" eating, and stress- and anxiety-driven eating; a Warning Signs Tool built for parents, partners, and friends; a Treatment Readiness & Level of Care Navigator; and an Insurance Navigator. None of the tools render a diagnosis. Each is built around a clear, consistent disclaimer that a professional evaluation is the only way to understand what is happening, with guidance on what a next step could look like.

The Treatment Readiness & Level of Care Navigator walks visitors through open-ended questions about their situation to help them understand the difference between residential, partial hospitalization, and outpatient levels of care, and what to bring to a clinical assessment.

The Insurance Navigator explains what to ask an insurance provider about eating disorder treatment coverage, since benefits and prior-authorization requirements vary widely by plan and are often confusing to sort through during an already difficult time.

"Eating disorders thrive on secrecy, so a lot of people, and a lot of families, spend months circling a question they're afraid to ask out loud. These tools aren't a diagnosis. They're a way to put language to what someone is noticing, so that when they do reach out, whether to us or to any provider, they can have a more informed conversation."

— Clarissa Ledsome, LPC, LCDC, IEDS, Clinical Director, Eating Disorder Solutions

Because eating disorders often involve secrecy, minimization, or denial, the tools are built for two audiences at once: someone questioning their own relationship with food or body image, and a parent, partner, or friend trying to decide whether what they are observing warrants a conversation with a professional. The Warning Signs Tool in particular is framed as a quick reference for loved ones, not just for the person who may be struggling.

The tools are available now, free of charge, at eatingdisordersolutions.com/tools/. Individuals with questions about treatment options or insurance coverage can call (888) 458-2994. These tools are not designed for crisis situations; if you or someone you love is in crisis, call or text 988, or call 911.
