What We Treat

​

You do not need to have a diagnosed eating disorder in order to get help. In fact, many of our clients don’t. 

 

The reality is that most people don’t fit so neatly into a diagnosis. Eating disorders are complex, and so are you. 

 

You’re here because the way you eat or the way you think about food and your body is causing problems in your life. You want to work, go to class, spend time with family, and have relationships without food getting in the way. You might be feeling like food is taking up too much room in your brain. You might be spending too much time thinking about food or planning out what you will eat. Maybe you’re trying to hide what you’re going through so that you don’t worry others, but it’s getting harder.

 

We’re here to help.

How We Help

​

We are  specialized eating disorder therapists  with experience treating men, women, teens, and even young children in outpatient, Intensive Outpatient (IOP), Residential, 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.

​

                 Comprehensive Care That Puts You First

​

We understand the complex nature of eating disorders and take a comprehensive approach to treating them. 

​

In addition to your individual session each week, we can also provide: 

 

  • Specialized care coordination, provided at no additional charge. With your written permission, we communicate with all of your healthcare providers to ensure that you are getting the best care possible.

 

  • Meal support sessions to help you meet your meal plan goals, get more comfortable with social eating, and manage anxiety around meals. 

 

  • Family therapy and parent support, so that the people closest to you can understand and support you. ​

 

  • Group therapy to connect you with people who really understand.
