What your child is experiencing is real, and treatable

Getting help for ARFID comes with a lot of uncertainty. Is my child “sick enough”? Is it something they’ll eventually grow out of? Parents come to us overwhelmed and unsure where to turn next. You’re not alone. Safe Bites is led by a dedicated interdisciplinary team that helps children and adolescents rebuild confidence around food. Not just in treatment, but for the birthdays, the family trips, and everyday life.

Why families
choose Safe Bites

A program specifically for ARFID

Every patient in the program with your child is diagnosed with ARFID, not other general eating disorders. They're surrounded by peers and clinicians who understand the unique challenges of ARFID.

Families are part of recovery

Parents are involved in every stage of care. Weekly virtual parent support is just one of the many ways we help families feel confident supporting meals, reducing stress, and maintaining progress from home.

We treat the “why” behind food avoidance

ARFID can be driven by different things: sensory sensitivities, fear of choking or vomiting, low appetite, anxiety, or co-occurring conditions. We tailor care to what’s driving food avoidance using evidence-based approaches designed to help meals feel safer and more manageable.
