Do you have an eating disorder? We offer Free Support Groups, Individual, Marriage and Family Counseling as well as Art Therapy to help with eating disorders of all kinds at our Center. We also offer therapy for issues other than eating disorders such as for problems with anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, sex abuse and for relationship and family difficulties. We are a State Certified Mental Health Clinic and have some of the most experienced therapists in the area, as well as Registered Interns. We also work closely with Psychiatrists, Primary Care Physicians, Registered Dietitians and an Eco-Therapy Center to provide Team Treatment specific to you.
We specialize in offering this Team Treatment designed to meet your personal needs for scheduling, financial resources, therapeutic interventions and true recovery. Many individuals and families come to us when they realize other programs and therapists have not led to recovery. Or to having the fulfilling life they would like and deserve. We offer many modalities of treatment so that each individual can pick and choose, with a therapist's help, the combination that will be the most uniquely suited to them to create the most successful treatment possible.
We have therapists with expertise in family therapy, psycho-dynamic psychotherapy, behavioral therapy, cognitive therapy, mindfulness training, art therapy, addictions counseling and trauma therapy. We also collaborate extensively with the largest Eco-Therapy program in the area to provide therapeutic outdoor experiences to aid in recovery from eating disorders and other issues. This program includes equine assisted therapy as well as engaging experiences in gardening, archery, fire making, shelter building and plant identification to enhance traditional clinic based treatment. Call or email us, or visit our website to find out more about how we can assist you to recover and live a fuller, more fulfilling life.
