Mental Health and Eating Disorder Recovery Program
Our carefully curated program is designed to support adolescents and adults who are living with the challenges of disordered eating patterns and co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional dysregulation.
Living with anxiety, depression, trauma, or other emotional struggles can make daily life feel exhausting and difficult to manage. You might notice it’s harder to get through the day, feel yourself withdrawing from loved ones, or relying on things like food, distraction, or control as a way to cope.
Our team knows that living with anxiety, depression, trauma, or other emotional struggles can make daily life feel exhausting and unmanageable.
Some people even notice it’s harder to get through the day, feel themselves withdrawing from loved ones, or rely on things like food as a distraction. Some people use food as a way to cope or feel a sense of control. Our team empathizes and is here to help.
Offered at both the Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) levels of care, our program provides structured, evidence-based, individualized treatment. We focus on early intervention, harm reduction, and lasting recovery—addressing not only disordered eating behaviors, but also the underlying thoughts and emotions that drive them. We know that information is power, so decoding their maladaptive coping strategies helps the clients feel empowering in their treatment approach and valued in along their journey.
We provide personalized care for adolescents (ages 13-17) and adults (18+) experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and disordered eating patterns such a restriction, bingeing, purging, and body image concerns.
Levels of care
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Our IOP provides a more frequent and concentrated level of care than typical outpatient therapy. Service is available at our San Jose clinic. The goal of the IOP level of care is to develop unique skills so that each client can discharge feeling improved daily living skills and enhanced ability to live with and manage their mental health difficulties.
Frequency: Treatment is 3 hours per day, Monday – Friday.
Duration: Depending on the client’s needs, the duration of treatment may range from several weeks to months.
Partial Hospitalization (PHP)
Our PHP provides a more frequent and concentrated level of care than IOP. Service is available at our San Jose clinic. The goal of PHP is to stabilize the client and prevent the need for more intensive care. PHP clients typically step down into the IOP level of care.
Frequency: Treatment is 6 hours per day, Monday – Friday.
Duration: Although each client is unique, the typical duration of PHP level of care is typically less than one month.
What to expect
Psychotherapy Groups
Our Mental Health Programs utilize a variety of evidence-based approaches to support individuals in their journey to recovery and wellness. In our PHP and IOP Programs, services are primarily provided through intensive group therapy. However, individual therapy can be arranged as needed.
Services include:
- Group therapy – Each group is carefully curated for deep exploration
- Individual therapy once a week (as needed or requested by client/client’s family)
