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, a multi-generational, family-owned organization has been a leader in eating disorder treatment since 1985. With 15 locations throughout the country, and virtual treatment available in 30+ states, we have helped over 100,000 adolescent girls, women, transgender, and non-binary individuals with eating disorders move toward recovery.
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.
