The Emily Program Locations in Minnesota

Recognized nationwide for our empathetic and scientifically-supported treatment model, The Emily Program’s Minnesota eating disorder treatment centers put lasting eating disorder recovery within reach. We understand that your journey to recovery can be challenging, which is why we’re here to support you every step of the way. Our approach to eating disorder treatment is holistic and individualized, pairing you with a multidisciplinary team of expert therapists, dietitians, and medical professionals to provide guidance at every turn of your treatment journey.

We offer adult and adolescent eating disorder treatment at a range of care levels: outpatient sessions (OP), partial hospitalization/intensive day programming (PHP/IDP), intensive outpatient programming (IOP), and residential eating disorder treatment across our Minnesota locations to provide you with the personalized care you need to achieve lasting recovery. Let us help you take the first step into a more peaceful and joy-filled relationship with food and your body.

Our tailored interventions include a wide array of strategies, such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and Family-Based Treatment (FBT). We also offer nutrition assessment and therapy, comprehensive medical and psychiatric services, and a variety of integrative activities including yoga, expressive arts and movement, meditation, and mindfulness.

We believe that clinician-developed, staff-supported food-related experiences are vital during eating disorder treatment, so our Minnesota locations offer therapeutic meal and snack support, culinary activities, and nutrition counseling and education.

Additionally, all of our Minnesota locations are committed to fostering a safe and inclusive environment. Our teams are trauma-informed, trained on diversity and LGBTQIA+-affirming care, and committed to ensuring that everyone who enters our doors feels a sense of belonging, safety, and hope.

The Emily Program’s network of trusted treatment centers stretches across Minnesota, offering hope and healing to anyone struggling with eating disorders. Our presence spans the Twin Cities and reaches virtually throughout the state. 

Each Minnesota location provides comprehensive and specialized treatment options for all types of eating disorders and related mental health conditions.

• Anorexia Nervosa: Characterized by a significant fear of weight gain, coupled with a distorted body image, often leading to critical malnutrition

• Bulimia Nervosa: Associated with secretive binge eating and compensatory behaviors like excessive exercise, fasting, or vomiting, in addition to a distorted body image and intense fear of gaining weight

• Binge Eating Disorder (BED): Marked by recurrent episodes of binge eating and feelings of loss of control, often triggered as a response to negative emotions

• Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID): Characterized by food restriction related to sensory issues or fear of adverse consequences of eating, resulting in nutritional deficiencies

• Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders (OSFED): Eating disorders that fall outside the strict diagnostic boundaries of other eating disorders, yet still lead to significant distress and impairment

Beyond the primary eating disorder diagnoses, The Emily Program’s Minnesota treatment centers recognize and address disordered eating patterns such as compulsive overeating. Our multidisciplinary teams provide compassionate support and tailored treatment to help you heal, regardless of your specific food and body challenges.
