Eating Disorder Outpatient Treatment for Adolescents in California
Recovery can begin at home — with expert eating disorder care.
Virtual Eating Disorder Treatment for Children and Teens: Why Choose Us?
Whether your child is entering treatment for the first time or continuing their recovery, we’re here to support them and your family. Reasons Eating Disorder Center offers virtual outpatient treatment for children as young as 10 in a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where kids can feel safe being themselves.
Wherever you live in California, our virtual eating disorder programs make it easier for adolescents to receive specialized care while staying connected to daily life. Our approach is designed to keep kids engaged, supported, and involved in their recovery at home and at school. At Reasons, you’ll find:
- Flexible scheduling: We offer day, evening and weekend programming so that kids miss little to no school while they get eating disorder treatment.
- Family-focused approach: Parents and caregivers stay involved and informed through weekly family therapy and nutrition education sessions.
- Specialized staff: Psychiatrists, therapists and dietitians understand the unique nutritional and emotional needs of adolescents with eating disorders.
- Inpatient treatment: If your child requires 24-hour medical and psychiatric care, we offer one of the area’s only hospital-based inpatient programs for children as young as 12.
Eating Disorder PHP and IOP for Adolescents
Our highly trained staff performs a personalized level of care assessment to help recommend an appropriate program for your child. We tailor treatment plans to each person and enable them to seamlessly transition between the levels of care as their needs change. Outpatient care takes place six days per week, with the flexibility to select times that work for your family.
We offer:
- Virtual partial hospitalization program (PHP): Our PHP is for adolescents transitioning from inpatient care or those who require more structure and support. This program is offered Monday through Friday, 1 – 7 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
- Virtual intensive outpatient program (IOP): Our IOP takes place after school and on weekends, making it ideal for children who are ready to transition back into their daily lives. This program is offered Monday through Friday, 4 – 7 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Resiliency and Self-Compassion: Our Approach to Eating Disorder Treatment
At Reasons, self-care and self-compassion are central to our treatment philosophy. Recovery looks different for every child, which is why we take a supportive, nonjudgmental approach that helps your child gradually recognize and change behaviors that may be getting in the way of healing.
We help kids set realistic goals and teach real-life coping strategies to reduce the risk of relapse. Therapists keep activities fun, engaging and relevant to the stressors children and teens face in their daily lives. Kids in our programs benefit from sharing their experiences with peers and building a sense of community.
