Treatment for Recovery

Our eating disorder nutrition specialists have nearly two decades of experience working with people of all ages in the treatment of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, emotional eating, night eating syndrome (NES), disordered eating, ARFID, and selective/picky eating. We work with our clients to create a unique program that meets their nutritional needs. We collaborate as part of a treatment team including their doctors, therapists and family (when appropriate) collectively moving the client toward recovery.

Our team of highly skilled clinicians will help you break apart those unhealthy and distorted belief systems and aid you in your journey back to body consciousness. Along the way, many of us lose the connection with our body’s cues. This leads to a tremendous amount of distrust of food and one’s body’s ability to utilize its nutrition. We will coach you every step of the way and help you heal and improve your body image and find food freedom.
