Take the First Step Toward Recovery & Enjoy These Great Benefits

Experiencing the freedom and fulfillment that comes with overcoming an eating disorder is within reach. Our adult eating disorder program offers a range of benefits designed to support your recovery journey. From CBT-E treatment and expert care to a strong support system and keeping you in the comfort of home, we’re your partner in recovery.

Maintain Independence & Routine

Unlike residential programs, our approach allows you to maintain your daily responsibilities, such as work, school, or family commitments. By incorporating treatment into your existing life, you can build skills for long-term recovery and reduce disruptions to your routine.

Transition from Higher Levels of Care

If you’ve completed a residential or partial hospitalization program, our adult eating disorder program can provide a smooth transition back to independent living. We offer ongoing support and care to help you consolidate your gains and prevent relapse.

Ideal for College Students

Our adult eating disorder program is specifically designed to accommodate the unique challenges faced by those with busy schedules, particularly working college students. We offer flexible scheduling options and short, weekly appointments that can easily be adjusted based on your school and work schedules to help you balance academics, social life, work, and recovery.

Recover Faster

Our focus is on enabling you to take charge of your recovery and build long-term well-being. Powerful weekly sessions that only last one to two hours each can help you achieve lasting results faster — and our approach transitions you from clinical dependence to a system of self-reliance.

Get Focused on Long-Term Recovery

After 20 weeks of either one or two weekly appointments, we offer ongoing care for as long as you need help. Basically, if you really love your therapist, dietician, mentor, or coach, you can continue working with them for as long as you want to ensure that you stay relapse free and continue to live a healthy life — free from disordered eating.

Close Medical Collaboration

Over many years, we’ve built strong, lasting partnerships with our network of local physicians and specialists. This close-knit collaboration ensures you receive the medical support you need, all while remaining in the comfort and familiarity of your home and community.

Most importantly, they correctly diagnosed our son and were the experts he truly needed."

"Our daughter is now fully recovered. We feel a relief and gratitude that can hardly be described. FBT works.

Not only will you get your loved one back, your family will emerge stronger and more united than before."

"My daughter is the happiest she has been in years.
