Eating disorders can be particularly challenging illnesses to address. All of our staff at Harborside have extensive training in working with eating disorders. We are passionate about helping clients reclaim their lives from rigid thoughts about food and body image.
Frequently Asked Questions
About eating disorders
Yes. Our providers are trained to treat all kinds of disordered eating, including ARFID.
Our clinical director and co-founder Rachel Egan generally does discovery phone calls with clients prior to connecting them with providers. At these calls, Rachel uses her medical and clinical background to ensure that clients are appropriate for this level of care. If we feel outpatient is not appropriate, we can provide referrals for higher level of care services.
We will support you through this process with referrals. When possible, if you would like, we will continue to work with you while you are in higher level of care (usually in partial or intensive outpatient).
