Services
Disordered Eating
Our specialized treatment addresses problematic eating behaviors that don't meet full diagnostic criteria. We help clients overcome food anxieties, rigid restrictions, and obsessive exercise patterns through personalized counseling. Our weight-neutral approach focuses on developing sustainable eating habits while addressing the mental health impacts of disordered eating patterns.
Anorexia Treatment
We provide comprehensive nutritional rehabilitation for anorexia nervosa. Our dietitians create individualized meal plans to restore nutritional adequacy while addressing body image concerns. Treatment includes gradual food reintroduction, variety expansion, and progression toward intuitive eating principles in coordination with mental health professionals.
Bulimia Recovery
Our evidence-based approach addresses binge-purge cycles through structured eating plans and coping skill development. We work collaboratively with therapists to reduce purging behaviors while establishing consistent eating patterns. Treatment focuses on eliminating restrictive eating that triggers binge episodes and developing healthier stress management techniques.
Binge Eating Disorder
We help clients break the cycle of compulsive overeating through nutritional counseling and behavioral strategies. Our dietitians work with mental health providers to develop coping mechanisms for food cravings while establishing regular eating patterns. Treatment emphasizes developing a neutral relationship with all food categories.
Intuitive Eating
Our certified specialists guide clients through the 10 principles of intuitive eating. We help individuals reconnect with hunger/fullness cues, eliminate food restrictions, and develop joyful movement practices. This approach promotes sustainable health improvements without diet culture focus, particularly effective for post-dieting recovery.
