Our Treatment Philosophy

Our treatment philosophy is based on our belief that individuals with eating disorders are capable of making a true and lasting recovery.

We strive to work with residents collaboratively throughout the process of healing, recognizing her relationship to her eating disorder and exploring together the factors that contributed to its development. We believe that our residents are capable and exceptional women who should be active participants in their treatment process.

Interventions are based on the most current and successful treatments in the field of eating disorders. Our program balances shared core components with a curriculum tailored to each resident. Groups and individual therapy sessions are designed to meet each individual's educational, spiritual, emotional, and experiential needs, and promote active healing, restoration, and recovery.

There is a cohesive balance between group and individual therapy. Residents have approximately 5 to 7 weekly individual sessions with their primary therapist, dietitian, clinical director and psychiatrist, in addition to close to 20 hours of group therapy, plus expressive arts, yoga and movement, physical training, and therapeutic outings.
