How We Can Help

Our program seeks to disempower the eating disorder by uncovering the complex psychological factors contributing to an unhealthy relationship with food. We have a proven track record of treating anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and a wide range of other eating disorders. While we address the food-related behaviors in creative, positive ways, we also take an in-depth look at the underlying issues and trauma that lead to eating disorders in the first place.

“[Anorexia] is more than twice as common in teenage girls,
with an average age of onset of 15 years.” – The NCBI

Anorexia Nervosa: What You Need to Know

The onset of anorexia generally occurs during the teenage years. The vast majority of anorexic individuals are female (roughly 80-90%, according to the NCBI), though men have also been known to suffer from this disorder. Because it has such a significant impact on the physical body, anorexia has the highest mortality rate among psychiatric disorders. Co-occurring substance abuse disorders can increase the risk of fatality, but substance use has not been known to cause anorexia.

As with all other psychiatric conditions, physical behaviors become part of an intricate web of coping mechanisms, and substance abuse may become woven in. Due to the strength of these extreme coping mechanisms and the psychological beliefs that drive them, recovery from anorexia is about far more than learning how to establish healthy eating habits.
