Eating Disorder Treatment

And then the song of her heart began to sing. Its voice grew bigger and bigger until it was able to wrap its loving arms around ED and say, "Go now. I'm ok. I always have been." And ED was gone.

Do you find yourself currently…

Struggling with an eating disorder and considering treatment?
Ready to begin recovery, yet not sure how to start?
In recovery and seeking extra support?
Working with a therapist and looking to add eating disorder support groups or nutritional help?

If so, let us be part of your healing path.

About The Path

If you are considering help, we invite you to explore how we that can guide your path. We offer more than treatment. We provide therapeutic experiences that can transform your life. The lotus flower is a symbol of that transformation. It begins life as a tiny seed, buried beneath muck and murky water. Eventually it reaches out of its dark environment to bloom into a stunning creation. Recovery is the rise from the muck that starts when you reach toward the light. We are here to nurture you to bloom.

Meet Your Guides

We are professionals whose lives have been touched in some way by an eating disorder. Some of us have made the journey that you contemplate ourselves. We were liberated by the knowledge, support and skills that we gained along the way. We live eating disorder free. More importantly, we live with connection, joy and meaning. Guiding your life-changing journey is a personal mission for us.

Get Started on Your Path

There are many paths to healing. Yours begins where you are today. You may need help for anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating or another troubling pattern of eating or exercise. You may feel out of control with food or at odds with your body. You may be traveling alone. Or, you might have people who are helping you along the way. You may feel energized about the idea of recovery or uncertain that it’s for you. Whatever your struggle, age, gender or situation, we meet you there and help you take the first step.

Follow Your Map to a New Life

As your guides, we map out a treatment plan that gets you where you want to go. Your map defines the places you will visit and people you will meet to learn to live better. Your map may lead you to individual, group, nutritional or family therapy. It might take you out of the therapy room where therapeutic experiences connect you to the healing power of nature, yoga, art, charity, and more. It will certainly connect you to supportive others both live and online who will walk the path with you.

Get Help Along the Way

Recovery has its ups and downs. Every traveler needs support to stay on the path. You may come to us feeling alone. Or, you may have supportive others in your life. If you feel alone, take heart. We are a community where you will be embraced and supported. If you come with support, we welcome your important others to take part in your journey. If you are already working with a therapist or other treatment professional, with your consent we work collaboratively with them.

Reaching the Top & Taking It In

There is no feeling quite like it when you reach the top of the mountain. Looking behind, you see the path you’ve traveled. You realize how you’ve grown. You nourished yourself through difficult terrain. You found hope, support, insight and learned new skills. You came to know and embrace yourself. Looking around, you are inspired by the awesome scenery of your new life. Your new, healthy life offers endless possibilities. Life still holds challenges but you are able to meet them head on and trek right through. You have bloomed and are dancing in the sunlight. Welcome to your new life.

Therapeutic Experiences

Individual Psychotherapy

Your Lotus Path therapist is your primary guide on your healing journey. As you meet regularly you will develop a unique and important relationship. The guidance and support you get from your therapist will help you develop the hope, personal strength, knowledge and skills needed to stay on your path. If you already have a therapist, our groups, nutritional therapy and events are a wonderful addition to the work you are already doing.

Group Psychotherapy

Many people feel alone and isolated in the struggle with an eating disorder. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Come and join a warm and welcoming group of peers who are also walking the path to a better life. Our groups offer professional and peer support as well as a forum to learn about nutrition, body image, exercise, spirituality, sex, relationships, identity and other important topics. Listing of current groups.

Special Events

Healing takes place in the therapy room, but also outside of it. Our special events offer experiences that enhance your recovery by connecting you with supportive others and teaching new skills. Special events offer the opportunity for you to interact with the healing power of nature, yoga, art, charity, and more. Check our listing for upcoming events.

Online Inspiration & Information

Nutritional Therapy & Guided Meals

In your lifetime you are bombarded with billions of messages about food and eating..."clear your plate", "combo meal only $1.99", "fat free", "low carb", "lose x pounds in x days on this diet", "eat early", "eat less", "this food is good", "this food is bad", etc. With so much information coming in, it is easy to forget that your body has its own wisdom about when, what and how much to eat in order to live a healthy, productive, confident, energetic and beautiful life. Let us help you reconnect to that wisdom. Your Lotus Path dietitian will be your guide in meal planning and will also facilitate therapeutic encounters with eating that help you discover your wise inner food guide and heal your relationship with food.

Family Therapy & Support Group for Loved Ones

We welcome your family and important others to take part in your treatment. Eating disorders cause pain in relationships. But with the proper help, they can be a powerful catalyst for growth & healing. Your therapist will facilitate therapeutic encounters between you and your loved ones that result in greater understanding and healthier relating. Your important others can also take part in our weekly support group where they will gain support and education.

Fees

Please contact us for specific fees. Lotus Path offers treatment on a sliding scale. We can also discuss insurance options, as our services may be covered or reimbursed partially or in full.
