You don’t need to have all the answers
If you feel out of control, disconnected from your body, or unsure where to start, you’re in the right place. Many adults worry it’s “too late” or they don’t fit the stereotype of an eating disorder, but if you’re struggling, you deserve support.
For nearly two decades, we’ve helped thousands of adults recover through evidence-based care. Wherever you are right now, we’re here to meet you there.
We’ve supported thousands of families in lasting recovery
This is what healing looks like.
Take a deep breath and let your shoulders drop. You’re in a place that takes binge eating seriously and treats it without shame. Led by clinicians who specialize in BED and related mental health concerns, our care is thoughtful, evidence-based, and built to support real life.
Designed exclusively for adults, you receive care alongside others in a similar life stage, without the dynamics of adolescent or family-based treatment. With hotel access in the same building, the environment supports privacy, independence, and a treatment experience that fits into adult life.
You don’t have to start over or retell your story at every step. As you move through levels of care, you stay with the same clinical team you already know and trust. More continuity. Deeper support.
Many adults come to treatment with layered mental health concerns, and this may not be their first time seeking care. We’re equipped to support complex cases involving conditions like OCD, depression, anxiety, and more.
It’s natural to worry about what happens after treatment. Work dinners, dating, travel, and everyday meals don’t pause for recovery. That’s why our clinicians thoughtfully incorporate downtown restaurant outings and real-world food experiences, helping you practice skills outside the center.

We make the path to treatment simple
Reaching out for help with an eating disorder is a significant and brave step. Starting with your first intro call, our support team will be there to guide you through every part of our admissions process. We’ll provide you with a nurturing and confidential place to chat and evaluate your care options.
This is a short, confidential conversation with someone from our team. We’ll answer any questions, share what treatment is like, and help you decide if it might be a good fit.
We’ll schedule a 60-minute clinical assessment with a Master’s-level clinician to recommend the best program for you.
Once you’re approved, treatment can start as early as the same day — or in as little as 72 hours.
