Eating Disorders We Treat
Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia nervosa is characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight, leading to severe food restriction and dangerously low body weight. Our treatment programs in Spokane focus on restoring a healthy weight, challenging distorted body image perceptions, and developing a positive relationship with food. We combine nutritional rehabilitation, psychotherapy, and medical monitoring to support individuals on their journey to recovery.
Bulimia Nervosa
Bulimia nervosa is marked by a cycle of binge eating followed by purging behaviors, such as vomiting or excessive exercise. Our treatment programs in Spokane aim to break this destructive cycle by addressing underlying emotional triggers, developing healthy coping mechanisms, and establishing regular eating patterns. Through therapy and medical support, we help individuals recover from bulimia nervosa and regain control of their lives.
Binge Eating Disorder
Binge eating disorder involves recurrent episodes of binge eating, often accompanied by feelings of guilt and shame. Our treatment programs in Spokane help individuals understand and manage these episodes through cognitive-behavioral therapy, group therapy, and medication management. By developing healthier eating habits and improving self-esteem, we empower individuals to overcome binge eating disorder and live a fulfilling life.
Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is characterized by significant limitations in food intake due to sensory sensitivities, fear of choking, or other psychological factors. Our treatment programs in Spokane address the underlying causes of ARFID through a multidisciplinary approach, including nutritional counseling, exposure therapy, and psychological interventions. By addressing these factors, we help individuals develop a more flexible and nourishing relationship with food.
Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders (OSFED)
Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders (OSFED) encompass a range of eating disorders that don’t fully meet the criteria for specific diagnoses. Our treatment programs in Spokane provide individualized care tailored to each person’s unique needs. We combine psychotherapy, nutritional guidance, and medical support to help individuals overcome the challenges of OSFED and achieve lasting recovery.
Components of our Spokane treatment program

Group Psychotherapy:
In our group therapy sessions, you’ll participate in activities designed to build self-compassion, improve interpersonal skills, and develop lasting, healthy coping mechanisms. The collaborative nature of group therapy helps you see your struggles from different perspectives, offering wisdom and fostering a deeper understanding of your eating disorder.

Family Therapy:
At The Emily Program, family therapy is a cornerstone of our approach to eating disorder treatment. We believe in empowering families to take an active role in their loved one’s recovery, starting with education and support. Our family-based treatment (FBT) focuses on equipping families with the skills and knowledge to promote recovery at home, ensuring a supportive environment for lasting change.

Nutrition Therapy:
Our nutrition therapy is uniquely tailored to you. Compassionate dietitians are dedicated to debunking the myths propagated by eating disorders and will guide you toward understanding and honoring your body’s true needs.

Medical Care:
In our outpatient setting, we address common but critical physical concerns such as gastrointestinal issues and metabolic disturbances. Our experienced medical team closely monitors your vital signs and lab results, adjusting treatment as necessary to support your ongoing health and path to recovery.

Psychiatric Care:
Ongoing support for eating disorder complications and co-occurring conditions is a hallmark of psychiatric care at The Emily Program. Our psychiatrists are available to provide regular touchpoints and medication management as needed, reinforcing your progress toward recovery.

Experiential Activities:
You’ll engage in activities like meal planning, cooking sessions, and therapeutic meal exercises, all designed to help you regain a sense of normalcy and enjoyment around food and eating.

Additional Therapies:
The Emily Program continuously strives to integrate innovative therapies that cater to our clients’ diverse needs and preferences. Our treatment plans include therapeutic modalities that help unlock new paths to healing, including:
- Expressive Arts: Art therapy offers a non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings. By engaging in various artistic activities, you can challenge perfectionism and control—common to eating disorders—helping you embrace flexibility and self-compassion in your recovery process.
- Movement Therapy: At The Emily Program, mindful movement like yoga promotes mindfulness and supports emotional regulation.
