Our Services
The Center for Eating Disorders provides comprehensive outpatient services. Our treatment team is comprised of professionals from the fields of social work, psychology, medicine, and nutrition, all with specialized training in eating disorder diagnosis and treatment.
The goal of our programs and services is: Recovery. Our client and family-centered team treatment approach offers highly individualized care. It is our aim to resolve eating, weight, and body image issues as well as to resolve key predisposing factors, in order to protect against relapse and to foster resilience and to empower our clients to achieve their full potential.
Our team treatment approach includes individual psychotherapy, medical care and pharmacotherapy, nutrition counseling, Family Based Therapy (FBT), body image classes, trauma evaluation and treatment, couples/marital counseling, and psychoeducation and support groups. Treatment begins with an initial assessment with a clinical specialist to determine a personalized treatment plan that incorporates our range of services. If a higher level of care is recommended, we will assist you in that process. To schedule an initial assessment or for information about any of our services call 734-668-8585.
