Eating disorder recovery happens 24 hours a day. That’s why we created an app where you can find inspiration, education, and encouragement wherever you go. With Me When was designed by a team of eating disorder clinicians as a companion to treatment, with tools to help you stay on track throughout your recovery journey.
Access the web version of With Me When here.
You can also complete your client paperwork quickly and easily through the app.
With Me When is currently available to Emily Program clients in our adult programs. In future versions, With Me When will be available for wider use across client and provider communities.
Please provide your contact information below and we will connect with you within one business day. You also may call us directly at 1-888-364-5977. If this is an emergency, do not use this form. Call 911 or your nearest hospital.
Our Eating Disorder Assessment Quiz takes just a few minutes. It’s a simple tool that helps you to see whether you should be concerned. Take the quiz.
Your friend’s health is more important than keeping secrets or shying away from talking to their family. Share your concerns. Be prepared to provide examples of behaviors that alerted you to the problem. And offer the next step—tell your friend to call us at 1-888-364-5977 or show your friend our website to start the journey to healthy living.
We invite family and friends to attend our support nights so you can learn how to play an important role in your friend’s recovery.
Concerned that you or a loved one might have an eating disorder? It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you don’t know what’s going on. You’re not alone. Take the first step and complete the Eating Disorder Assessment Quiz below. Two or more “yes” answers strongly suggests that you may be experiencing disordered eating. Please give us a call at 1-888-364-5977 or connect online to discuss your results.

The Emily Program is nationally recognized for its compassionate, evidence-based approach to eating disorder treatment and lifelong recovery. We understand the tangled complexities of eating disorders, often from personal experience. We know that you’re not defined by your eating disorder, and our team of experts—including therapists, dietitians, and medical staff—focuses on treating the whole person.
Reach out to our admissions team at 1-888-364-5977 or complete our online form. No referral necessary. We’re here when you need us—7 days a week. We’ll answer any questions, talk about what you’re experiencing, collect information (name, contact info, and insurance details), and schedule your intake.
During your intake, you’ll be asked a series of questions related to your relationship with food and body image. Then, an Intake Therapist will review your needs and work with you to develop a customized treatment plan.
After your intake, we’ll schedule an admission date and facilitate any necessary lodging so you can begin treatment.
Call 888-364-5977 for help now.
