Anorexia / Restrictive Eating Treatment

Our Treatment for Anorexia

Anorexia treatment at Woodleaf Center is a gentle approach because we know ,the healing process takes time. Woodleaf provides a private, individualized, safe space for you to heal. We focus on what has brought you here to this moment in time, what purpose the anorexia/restriction is serving and how to stabilize your emotions and eating patterns. We know and believe you can fully recover.

Our program provides a combination of therapeutic interventions (individual therapy, group support, nutritional counseling) to help you discover freedom from the obsession of food and weight. Our holistic nutrition approach will give you the tools to create balanced meals, stabilize eating patterns and regain nutritional balance. We will meet you where you are at with food in this process. Our goal is to help clients embrace who they really are and what they really need so they can let go of their eating disorder.
