Disordered eating that doesn't fit a diagnosis but still runs your life

Signs it may be time to reach out
You spend much of the day thinking about food, calories, weight, or how your body looks
You feel out of control around food, or guilty and ashamed after eating

People who love you have said they're worried
Our approach
Recovery isn't about willpower. Our eating disorder therapy is warm, real, and practical. We help you understand what the eating disorder does for you, build skills for big emotions without using behaviors, and rebuild trust with food and your body. We draw on intuitive eating and body acceptance, and for teens we involve parents and family in a way that supports, not polices.
Your treatment team
Eating disorders affect the whole person, so good care is a team effort. We work with your dietitian, physician, and psychiatrist, and if you need more support than weekly therapy, we'll help you find the right higher level of care.
