We provide the highest quality of skilled and experienced care. When treating our patients, we tailor the healing to address each patient’s needs; different people respond to a variety of treatments, even if they have the same eating disorder. And you can rest assured that we’re committed to helping your condition with discretion, whatever its nature.

There are three main types of eating disorders:

• Bulimia nervosa, which is defined by repeated episodes of binge eating within a relatively short period of time. The massive food consumption is followed by compensatory behaviors such as vomiting, misusing laxatives or diuretics, fasting and excessive exercise.
• Binge eating disorder is characterized by regular episodes of uncontrollable eating with feelings of loss of control. Many people also feel guilt, embarrassment and disgust.
• Those with anorexia nervosa eat as little as possible, have an intense fear of gaining weight and are disturbed by their self-perceived weight or shape. They control food and weight as a means of controlling areas of their lives in which they feel out of control, or as a way of expressing complex or concerning emotions.
