The Renfrew Center of Bethesda
The Renfrew Center of Bethesda, Maryland is an outpatient facility specializing in the treatment of anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating as well as the full range of eating disorders. Programming at the Bethesda location consists of a comprehensive range of in-person and virtual options including Day Treatment, Intensive Outpatient and Outpatient Services. Family-owned and operated, we are committed to quality, evidence-based care that allows patients to support one another, learn to form healthy relationships, and counter their feelings of disconnection. The Renfrew Center of Bethesda is just two short blocks from the Bethesda Metro Station (Red Line). Outpatient services are also offered at The Renfrew Center of Baltimore, MD and residential programming at The Renfrew Center of Philadelphia, PA.
About The Renfrew Center
The Renfrew Center, now celebrating its 40th anniversary, has been the pioneer in the treatment of eating disorders since 1985. As the nation's first residential eating disorder facility, now with 18 locations throughout the country, Renfrew has helped more than 100,000 cisgender adolescent girls and adult women, transgender and non-binary individuals with eating disorders move towards recovery. Renfrew provides patients suffering from anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and related mental health problems with the tools they need to succeed in recovery and in life. Renfrew's extensive range of services includes residential, day treatment, intensive outpatient, and outpatient programs. Each treatment level is built upon The Renfrew Center Unified Treatment Model for Eating Disorders, an evidence-based, emotion-focused therapy that addresses eating disorders and co-morbid symptoms. Within this model, individual and group therapy are enhanced with a diverse array of services to meet patients' needs. Renfrew accepts most major insurances and is a preferred provider for all levels of treatment.
Treatment Philosophy
The Renfrew Center Unified Treatment Model for Eating Disorders integrates an emphasis on the healing potential of empathic relational connection with evidence-based emotion-focused treatment interventions. Throughout treatment, patients develop the strength and confidence to take back their lives by: Understanding the important interplay between emotion regulation (intrapersonal factors) and authentic engagement in mutual relationships (interpersonal factors); Learning to courageously approach rather than avoid emotional experiences, including painful and uncomfortable emotions; Increasing emotional tolerance and psychological flexibility to decrease the need for maladaptive coping behaviors; Building emotional competence allowing for enhancement of self-empathy, self-efficacy and an ability to have meaningful relationships with others.
