How We Help
We are specialized eating disorder therapists with experience treating Binge Eating Disorder, ARFID, Anorexia, Bulimia, Orthorexia, compulsive exercise and body image issues. We have worked with men, women, teens, and even young children in outpatient, Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and Partial Hospitalization settings. We offer a highly individualized, holistic approach that treats you as a whole person -- not just a person with an eating disorder.
We see beyond the eating disorder to address what is "underneath" it: trauma, anxiety, issues with friends and family, coping with difficult emotions, depression, grief, and everything in between are all addressed in eating disorder therapy.
We start where you are, and go at your pace.
Here, you're an individual. We carefully consider your unique needs, and create a treatment plan that is exactly right for you.
