Personalized Treatment for all genders with a High Success Rate
Eating and Body Image Therapy Center recently studied the outcomes for our eating disorder clients and measured an 80% success rate.
This is due in part because of the customized levels of care for eating habits that include residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programs, and traditional outpatient treatment programs. Eating and Body Image Therapy Center provides client-centered treatment and help with eating disorders for all genders. This includes personalized treatment plans for the treatment of medical conditions such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, atypical anorexia, binge eating disorder, OSFED, ARFID, compulsive exercise, and muscle dysmorphia.
Outpatient Services
Residential Services
“I showed up to EBITC in pretty bad shape. I had attended another treatment center just six months prior and had come out of there in worse shape than when I went in. It was a horror show. Upon arriving at EBITC, I was immediately greeted with smiles and warmth. No joke. The staff are the most patient, attentive, dedicated, compassionate, and hard working I have ever encountered, in ANY medical facility I have ever entered. I would never be able to say enough about them, trust me. The facility itself is spacious, warm and charming and the food was absolutely on point and second to none. I left EBITC feeling more equipped and stronger than I could ever imagine. Thanks alone will never be enough.” – JO, RTC Client 2021
