Philosophy
Eating Disorders are multi-faceted and complex. A variety of influences can help contribute to the disordered eating behavior.
Our philosophy in treating eating disorders is to approach them as a symptom to a greater need or issue going on in the heart, soul, body or mind of the individual. Many times the eating disorder behavior is playing out the silent cry for love, boundaries, separateness from an overwhelming other, to be seen and heard, to relieve pressure (internal or external), to help with the internal fragmentation of the person in their relation to self and others, control and a variety of other related factors.
Each person's Eating Disorder will be respected as their unique way to get other needs met. We will work together to discover and heal those needs as well as refer to other related professions (Psychiatrist, Nutritionist, MD's) to ensure their whole being is addressed.
We have listed many organizations across the country to help the professional, individual struggling, or family and friend to gain education and awareness.
