A Steady, Evidence-Based Path To Recovery

We help you rebuild a peaceful relationship with food, body, and life—step by step. Treatment focuses on safety, stability, and practical skills you can use right away.

Core approaches we use:
CBT-E: Normalize eating patterns and reduce over-focus on weight/shape.
FBT (for adolescents): Caregiver-supported re-nourishment at home.
DBT-informed skills: Emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and coping.
ACT: Values-aligned flexibility around food, movement, and body image.
Exposure work: Graduated, supportive practice for food and avoided situations.
Care coordination: Collaboration with your physician, RD, psychiatrist, and school/coaches as needed.

How We Help

People of all genders and body sizes experiencing:
Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder
ARFID and OSFED
Compulsive exercise, rigid “food rules,” and chronic dieting
Co-occurring concerns such as anxiety, OCD traits, depression, or trauma responses
Not sure whether it’s time for help? If eating, movement, or body image is taking over your day—or loved ones are worried—reach out. We’ll meet you with respect and a plan.

Why outpatient care

(and when it fits)

Outpatient therapy works well when medical status is stable and you can remain at home/school. It offers privacy, flexibility, and steady progress alongside daily life.

If a higher level of care (IOP/PHP/residential) is clinically indicated, we’ll help you step up—and step back down—so you’re supported the whole way.
