Residential Program

Reasons Residential eating disorder treatment is situated in a beautiful, tranquil two-story home in a residential section of Pasadena, CA, and is designed to meet the needs of adult women who are struggling with eating disorders and who require a safe place to begin or continue their recovery.

Residents have ready access to highly skilled professionals (including Physicians, Psychologists, Social Workers, Registered Dietitians, Registered Nurses and nursing staff) who can provide immediate support and guidance, resulting in more “real-life” clinical information to guide our treatment.

Residents receive:

• Individual Therapy, three times per week
• Family Therapy, once per week
• Group Therapy, up to 5 hours per day, addressing:
  • Cognitive Behavior Therapy
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy
  • Process Issues
  • Psychoeducation
  • Relapse Prevention, Coping Skills, Self-Esteem, Trauma and Addictions
  • Interpersonal and Communication Skills
  • “Happiness”
• Daily Nutrition Education and Consultation, including weekly restaurant and grocery outings
• Body Movement and Yoga
• Art Therapy
• Meditation and Guided Imagery Practice

Integrated into our eating disorder treatment program is a standardized series of assessments at the beginning of, during, end of, and following treatment to be able to better measure our Residents’ improvement and truly tailor treatment to an individual’s particular needs.

We have designed a program based upon a foundation of the current, best practices in eating disorder treatments for women with eating disorders and placed it in a setting and context of compassion and understanding where you are the most important member of the treatment team.  We are committed to the mission that all women deserve the opportunity to recover in an environment of structure, support, and sanctuary.
