We want them to realize that the recovery journey is different for everyone. It can be colorful, creative, fun, messy—but ultimately freeing.

Our multidisciplinary team is passionate about providing your family with the resources, expertise and support you need. We utilize today’s most effective and proven therapies and treatments to help patients and their families understand and resolve eating disorder triggers and challenges that are critical to their long-term recovery success. Our goal is to empower your family to heal, grow stronger and move forward together.
At the heart of our program is a unique and effective treatment model centered on empowering patients through Connection, Acceptance, Mindfulness, Sense of Self, and Action (CAMSA®). This unique treatment philosophy helps teens understand and address the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects contributing to their eating disorder, while teaching them healthy new skills to interrupt destructive behavioral patterns, tackle fears and take on new challenges.

Nourishing Acceptance
–
At EDCare, we want our patients to know that an eating disorder doesn’t define anyone. This is a particularly important and empowering message for teens who are confronting these illnesses at a time when they are often just beginning to understand and embrace their own identity as a vibrant and unique individual.
Our programs give patients a safe and supportive environment to address their unique challenges and concerns. Unlike other programs that mix teens with adult patients, our care center allows teens to feel more at ease and connect with others their own age who can relate to their experiences and struggles.
Inspiring Hope

With early and effective treatment, research shows that teens have a strong chance of fully recovering from an eating disorder. Contact us today to schedule a free, confidential assessment with our Admissions Clinician. Assessments generally last about one hour and are done preferably in person or over the phone. Together, we can help determine the right treatment for your family, so you can begin your journey forward today.
