Engaging in group therapy provides a structured space to explore your feelings and behaviors around eating in a safe, supportive environment. You’ll receive feedback from peers who truly understand your journey, which can be incredibly validating and empowering. Together, and through the support of our licensed therapists, you’ll work on building healthier patterns and breaking free from the cycle of disordered eating.

Your loved ones know you best, and they can play a crucial role in your journey toward recovery. At The Emily Program, we harness this deep connection through our collaborative family-based treatment (FBT) approach, where your family doesn’t just participate—they learn how to actively help you reach full recovery.

We know that food can be a source of anxiety, but it doesn’t have to be. Our nutrition therapy aims to help you find both nourishment and joy in eating. With personalized meal plans and nutrition education, we help you navigate food choices confidently, ensuring you get the nutrients your body needs. You’ll practice mindful eating and learn to reconnect with your body’s signals, all under the caring guidance of our team.

In residential care, we provide a structured environment where you can focus fully on recovery, supported by a multidisciplinary team dedicated to holistic healing. Our compassionate medical professionals are always on hand to monitor and address the complex physical health effects of eating disorders, providing treatment that aligns with your personalized recovery plan and ensuring safety and stability as you progress to other levels of care.

When you meet with your psychiatrist, you can expect a warm and validating environment where every conversation helps you to better understand and manage your eating disorder and any co-occurring diagnoses. Our psychiatrists are dedicated to building trust and facilitating healing, complementing the medical aspects of your care through psychiatric evaluations and medication management, as needed.

Our practical experiential activities include grocery shopping, hands-on culinary experiences, and therapeutic meals. You’ll learn how to make choices that support your recovery and personal preferences as we help you feel prepared and positive about managing your nutrition outside of treatment.

We understand the importance of addressing recovery from all angles. Our personalized treatment plans include comprehensive interventions to aid in healing your relationship with your body and mind, including:

• Expressive Arts: Through art-making, you can find a unique way to communicate your inner struggles. This creative process allows you to visualize complex emotions and experiences, providing a tangible way to process and understand your journey, leading to greater insight and emotional clarity.
• Movement Therapy: Movement therapy, including yoga, provides a safe space to explore physical activity in a way that honors your body’s needs. This practice encourages a positive body image and helps you develop a compassionate connection with your body​.
