Our Philosophy

We are a team of eating disorder treatment professionals with extensive expertise in eating disorders and their intersection with problems of mood, anxiety, obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, and substance use.  Our goal is to create a culture that nurtures the integration of body and mind through the daily practice and continual reinforcing of the balancing ideas of Doing and Being, because:

IT'S YOUR TREATMENT. Individualized eating disorder treatment plans developed by a multi-disciplinary eating disorder treatment team of which the most important member is the patient.

FOCUS ON THE WHOLE PERSON.  In addition to medical, nutritional, and psychological treatment, we offer an array of eating disorder treatment interventions designed to aid in the eating disorder healing process, including:

• Normalizing eating behaviors and attitudes towards food and one’s body
• Challenging and replacing maladaptive thoughts and behaviors
• Graduated exposure to feared and avoided foods and situations, and teaching of alternate, healthy responses
• Re-integrating the disconnected systems regulating emotions and thoughts, and the sensory pathways of the body.
• Daily mindfulness and relaxation practice
• Grounding your experience of the world in an improved understanding of your own emotions and reactions

RELATIONSHIPS ARE IMPORTANT. A common thread through all of our eating disorder treatment interventions is transforming the nature of your relationships, not just with other people, but to food, to your body, and to yourself.

There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. –Anais Nin
