Worried about falling behind in school while seeking treatment?

Feeling unsure how to connect the dots in care?
Our care managers act as bridges—linking families, schools, and treatment teams to ensure every detail is thoughtfully coordinated. We prioritize clear communication, transitions, and post-discharge planning to promote true continuity of care.
What if food felt safe again?
Clients relearn how to nourish themselves—physically, emotionally, and culturally. With our nutrition director, food becomes a tool of healing, not fear. We incorporate intuitive eating, exposure work, cultural foods, and identity-affirming education that supports lasting recovery.
Can healing begin in the kitchen?
We believe it must.
We provide daily supported meals, kitchen coaching, and real-time opportunities to confront and heal disordered patterns. Clients re-engage with food in a mindful, empowered way—with dignity, not shame.
What’s the story beneath the symptom?
Each client meets weekly with a licensed therapist to explore the roots of their struggles—often including grief, perfectionism, family dynamics, identity, trauma, and stress. Modalities are customized, drawing from evidence-based and holistic practices.
Recovery includes the whole family.
Our family therapy model strengthens bonds, breaks unhealthy cycles, and teaches loved ones how to offer meaningful, structured support. Whether in-person or virtual, we offer deep, practical healing conversations.
