Eating & Body
Many adolescents and adults wrestle with painful and unhealthy behavior around food, eating, and body image. Restricting, bingeing, purging, and excessive exercise can be equal parts gripping and destructive. Those who suffer from anorexia, bulimia, and other eating disorders often find themselves trapped and unable to break free on their own, even when they realize the great cost to themselves and the life they truly wish to build. Friends and loved ones often feel driven to help, yet profoundly bewildered and disempowered in the face of such confounding and intransigent behavior.
Research and clinical experience has shown that outpatient treatment offers the first, best hope for freeing people from eating disorders. Although higher levels of care (such as inpatient hospital treatment) are surely needed in cases of imminent medical risk, long-term recovery always involves forging and strengthening a new relationship with food and body in the context of everyday life.
In service of that goal, we offer the leading evidence-based outpatient treatments for adolescent and adults, and their families.
