Eating Recovery Center - Texas Christian University
Location Details
Located in the heart of Fort Worth, Texas, ERC has partnered with Texas Christian University to bring our nationally recognized eating disorder treatment programming to students directly on-campus.
Conveniently located in Jarvis Hall at the Counseling and Mental Health Center, we offer a three-day-a-week intensive outpatient program (IOP) to support students who struggle with eating disorders. Each session includes 3 hours of programming, taking place during the evening from 5-8 pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, in addition to individual and dietary sessions each week.
This program includes experts from Eating Recovery Center – including a therapist and dietitian on staff – who provide individualized care to students, in addition to group therapy among peers with similar challenges and goals. Built upon ERC’s traditional ‘pod’ model, the therapist and dietitian work together to lead peer processing groups and individually treat students with an average length of stay of 8 weeks. Our overall aim is to enable students to continue their classes, campus activities and social life without interruption.
Students can now get the care they need from the nation’s leading eating disorder treatment program, right here on the TCU Campus.
