Luminary: A Magazine for Mental Health Professionals

Rooted in evidence-based modalities and best practices, our programs at Eating Recovery Center and Pathlight Mood and Anxiety Center (ERC Pathlight) are delivered by a psychiatrist-led multidisciplinary team. Now we want to share what we’ve learned with you.

In Luminary, our digital magazine, you’ll find key insights from leading clinicians and recovery advocates on:

• The power of an accurate diagnosis

• Why patients outcomes matter and how they inform clinical care

• How to create a safe, inclusive practice

• Navigating treatment ambivalence with your clients and more

Plus, a bonus 2023 Continuing Education Catalog with free courses designed just for you.

From the time Joanna Nolen (she/her/hers), ERC alumnus and Recovery Ambassador Council member was a child, she constantly heard about her weight. As a child in a larger body, her parents worried she would develop diabetes or cancer—diseases that ran in her family—and strongly encouraged her to watch what she ate and to exercise.

“I started exercising a lot, and when my peers started recognizing me because of my weight loss, I started restricting my food, and then I got hooked on laxatives and diet pills,” she said. It wasn’t until her anxiety, depression and eating disorder behaviors became unmanageable that she went to see her doctor, who referred her to a cognitive behavioral therapist. The therapist recommended that she go to ERC for the treatment of her complex eating disorder and co-occurring conditions.

Our Say It Brave online community offers a safe and inclusive space for kids and teens to foster connection, access resources and help end mental health stigma. Check out upcoming events featuring recovery advocates leading candid, crucial conversations about mental health.
