Group therapy is a safe space to open up about your struggles and successes, knowing you’ll be met with empathy and understanding. You’ll connect with peers who truly “get it,” drawing strength from shared experiences and the support of a recovery community. Our compassionate therapists integrate evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, and FBT to help you understand your eating disorder and develop coping skills for recovery.

By including your family or partner in your treatment, you’ll equip them with essential knowledge about your eating disorder and empower them to be your biggest supporters. This shared understanding will make your transition back to daily life after residential care smoother, with your loved ones prepared to offer the encouragement you need. We’ll also provide them with ongoing support and resources to help them navigate this challenging time alongside you.

Our expert dietitians provide personalized nutrition counseling, education, and meal planning to help you disrupt eating disorder behaviors, restore your health, and begin to trust your body’s natural cues. The goal is to help you build a peaceful, joyful, and nourishing relationship with food instead of one based in fear.

Your eating disorder can lead to serious physical effects, from hair loss to esophageal rupture. With 24/7 monitoring by nurses and regular appointments with physicians or physician assistants, you can trust that any medical concerns are identified early and addressed promptly, giving you peace of mind and allowing you to focus on your recovery.

Understanding that conditions such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, substance use disorder, and bipolar disorder need to be treated alongside your eating disorder is crucial for lasting recovery. We provide holistic and personalized care, including medication when needed, to promote a mind-body connection.

In residential treatment at Anna Westin House, you’ll engage in experiential activities such as cooking, grocery shopping, and dining out or dining in. These activities let you apply the coping skills you’ve learned to real-life situations, supporting your long-term recovery and helping you build confidence in your abilities.

Additional Therapies: Our treatment program offers more than traditional therapy, providing integrative approaches to aid your recovery through various methods of self-expression and emotional processing. These therapies may include:

• Expressive Arts: Engaging in art-making can help alleviate your anxiety, address body image issues, and develop healthier coping skills. Expressive arts provide a non-verbal way for you to share, explore, and reflect on your feelings and thoughts, making it an especially valuable tool in your recovery process.
• Movement Therapy: Engaging in yoga, stretching, strength work, and other forms of movement can help you reconnect with your body. These activities also offer a healthy outlet for stress, allowing you time to ground yourself with helpful coping mechanisms.
