Welcome to APT Therapeutic Solutions
“From Understanding to Empowerment”
APT Therapeutic Solutions
My Vision
A world where treatment for eating disorders is both family-centred and individualised honouring the unique needs, voice, and developmental stage of every adolescent, while supporting those who walk alongside them.
My Mission
To provide evidence-based, creative, and compassionate resources that empower adolescents to be seen, heard, and actively involved in their recovery—while equipping families and clinicians with the tools they need to support and sustain meaningful change.
My Values
Healing happens through collaboration—between adolescent, family, and treatment team. Adolescents deserve to be heard, valued, and supported in discovering who they are beyond the eating disorder. Families are vital partners, and clinicians need ongoing support to walk this journey well.
Resources by Maria Ganci
Resources below empower families, young people, and clinicians with practical guidance, evidence-based strategies, and compassionate support for healing and recovery.
Adolescents
Adolescents deserve to be active participants in their treatment, to be truly heard, and given the chance to tell their story. We highlight the essential need for adolescents to build a strong sense of self. Our resources help them discover and develop the many inner strengths they can rely on throughout their recovery process.
Parents and Carers
Parents and carers are an adolescent’s greatest asset during treatment. Parents must also feel heard and supported through ongoing education. This support enables them to confidently guide, advocate for, and stand beside their adolescent every step of the recovery journey, fostering hope, trust, and resilience within the family as they navigate the challenges together.
Treatment Teams
Working in the eating disorder field is a demanding and complex task. Clinicians in this field equally need support, guidance, and resources to best help their clients. The tools and information here are designed to strengthen and assist all professionals working with adolescents and families in treatment.
