Our approach



 

Health at Every Size (HAES) Informed and Fat Positive: We understand that your worth is not determined by your body size or shape. Consequently, our HAES-informed approach focuses on promoting overall well-being and health, rather than fixating on weight. We’re here to support you in building a healthy relationship with food, exercise, and your body.

Fat Positive:  We embrace body positivity and celebrate diversity. Therefore, our team is committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore and appreciate your body, regardless of its size.

Intuitive Eating Trained:  Intuitive eating empowers you to reconnect with your body’s signals and trust your instincts when it comes to nourishment. We provide guidance and support to help you reestablish a healthy and intuitive relationship with food.

Medical Monitoring and Assessment

Our experienced medical team specializes in eating disorder treatment including anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorders. We conduct medical monitoring, which includes ordering laboratory tests, taking vital signs, and assessing the physical and medical consequences of eating disorders. Your health and safety are our top priorities.

Collaborative Care

We understand that eating disorders are complex, and recovery often requires a multidisciplinary approach. Our team works in collaboration with registered dietitians and therapists to provide you with comprehensive care. Together, we create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

Holistic Recovery

In addition to traditional treatments, we also incorporate natural therapies to support your recovery journey. These may include supplements such as N-acetylcysteine (NAC), zinc, and vitamin replenishment, among others. Our goal is to address not only the physical aspects of your health but also the emotional and psychological aspects of healing.

Referrals to Higher Levels of Care

If your needs require more intensive treatment, we have the expertise to guide you to higher levels of care, such as IOP, PHP, or residential programs. Your well-being is our top priority, and we will ensure that you receive the level of care that best suits your needs.
