About us


Understanding eating disorders requires a broad perspective – encompassing psychological, medical and, sociocultural factors. Our program combines these disciplines with the newest treatment techniques, and a knowledgeable and caring staff to provide a comprehensive plan to treat eating disorders.

We evaluate all eating disorders and any weight disorders that may have a psychological aspect, including the recently diagnosed binge-eating disorder in the medically overweight. All treatment begins with a thorough physical and psychological assessment, review of coping skills, and assessment of family dynamics.

Our goal is not only to comprehensively treat the symptoms of an eating disorder but replace the dysfunctional eating patterns with effective, healthy ways of thinking and acting.

We offer three levels of care – inpatient, partial hospitalization and outpatient. Each level is designed to meet the specific needs of individual patients.
