How we help

Evidence-based eating disorder treatment

We provide evidence-based outpatient therapy for eating disorders and disordered eating, focused on loosening the grip of food and body rules and addressing what is underneath. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the best-studied approaches for many eating disorders. Eating disorders are best treated by a team, so we coordinate with dietitians and medical providers as needed. If a higher level of care would be safer, we will say so and help you find it.

Understanding eating disorders

What eating disorders really are

Eating disorders are not about vanity or willpower, and they are not a lifestyle choice. They are serious, treatable conditions that often work as a way to manage anxiety, control, or pain, and they show up in people of every body size, gender, and background. The rules around food and the body can feel safe at first and then quietly take over.

Recovery is possible, and reaching out early makes it more likely. With the right team and evidence-based therapy, most people can build a steadier, freer relationship with food and their body. You do not have to be at your worst to deserve care.

What kind of therapy treats eating disorders? ~~ Cognitive behavioral therapy has the strongest evidence for many eating disorders, and ACT and other approaches help with the body image and emotional patterns underneath. Care is tailored to you, and your therapist explains the plan rather than following a one-size script. ||| Do I really need a whole treatment team? ~~ Often, yes. Eating disorders affect both mind and body, so the safest care usually pairs therapy with a dietitian and a medical provider. We coordinate that team so it is not one more thing you have to manage alone. ||| Do I have to be at a certain weight to have an eating disorder? ~~ No. Eating disorders affect people of every body size, and you do not have to look a certain way or be 'sick enough' to deserve help. If food, eating, or your body is taking up this much space, that is reason enough to reach out. ||| How do I know if what I'm doing is a problem? ~~ If eating, exercise, or thoughts about your body feel rigid, secret, or hard to control, or are shrinking your life, it is worth a conversation. You do not need a formal diagnosis to start, and a first session can help you sort it out. ||| Does insurance cover eating disorder therapy, and what does it cost? ~~ Often, yes. We are in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare/Optum, so most people pay a copay set by their plan. We also offer transparent cash rates, and before your first session we verify your benefits and go over what you can expect to pay. ||| Can I do eating disorder therapy online? ~~ Yes, for many people. We offer telehealth for clients located in Arizona and in-person care at our five Valley offices. If your situation needs closer medical monitoring, we will talk through the safest option with you. ||| How soon can I get in? ~~ Our care team usually replies within an hour during business hours, 7 days a week, and most new clients have their first session within one business day. Telehealth often opens up soonest.
