Virtual Outpatient Eating Disorder Care

Leadership

Program Description & Services

Designed to ensure continued success in eating disorder recovery, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programming supports individual emotional and nutritional goals while also incorporating therapeutic and educational groups to address particular challenges of implementing changes into daily life. There is an emphasis on real life daily living skills for sustainable long-lasting recovery.

In these programs we are able to offer you or your loved one a unique and creative treatment experience utilizing technology and still focusing on the importance of developing relationships for healing and recovery.

These virtual care treatment programs for eating disorders can serve as a transition from inpatient to outpatient treatment, or patients can enter directly into these programs from the outpatient setting. We treat all types of eating disorders and co-occurring mental health diagnoses such as generalized anxiety disorder, depression, OCD, or trauma.

In our virtual care program, you’ll receive access to eating disorder providers including psychiatrists, therapists, and dietitians for assessment, advice, education, intervention and monitoring.
