Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, "Grow, grow."

Magnolia Creek is dedicated to its mission of offering the highest quality of care for women struggling with eating disorders. Our goal to provide a complete and comprehensive treatment program that addresses the psychological, medical, nutritional, spiritual, and relational needs of our clients.
Psychological
Our treatment staff works together to create a safe, therapeutic environment for our clients to explore deeply the issues and experiences related to their eating disorder and to challenge thoughts and behaviors that prevent them from living fully and freely. A rigorous schedule of supportive group therapy is balanced with focused, individual therapy sessions.
Medical
Our staff physicians take very seriously the physical and neurological well-being of our clients and the potential medical complications associated with eating disorders. Our nurses work around the clock providing ongoing medical care, monitoring, and assessment to ensure our clients' physical safety as they move toward recovery.
Nutritional
Our goal is to help each client develop a healthier, more intuitive and more sustainable relationship with food, free from restrictions and rules. Our dietitian works with each client to develop assess her personal dietary needs and develop a personalized meal plan. Through regular consultations with the dietitian, nutrition and cooking classes, and regular meals and outings, we promote mindful, intuitive eating.
Spiritual
We recognize that spirituality is a deeply personal yet integral part of the recovery process. We respect our clients' individual backgrounds and are sensitive of the degree to which they wish to integrate faith into treatment. Mindfulness training, weekly spirituality group, and optional religious outings are integrated into the program to emphasize an overall spiritual reconnection and reawakening.
Relational
The ability to form and foster healthy relationships with the self and with others is a critical component to long-term recovery. We help each client recognize the powerful relationship she has with her eating disorder, work through past relationships, and promote healthy, therapeutic connections with herself, her family, her peers and her treatment staff.
