Virtual PHP for Adults
In our virtual partial hospitalization program (PHP) for adults, we will help you better understand the function of your eating disorder. This involves identifying the triggering thoughts and feelings that often lead to disordered behaviors. You will learn and practice skills designed to replace these behaviors and manage stress.
Primary Goals of PHP for Adults with Eating Disorders
- Establish (or re-establish) normal patterns of eating
- Understand and manage triggers
- Interrupt and reduce the use of eating disorder behaviors
As part of our program, you will have a dedicated team of care professionals, including a dietitian, nurse practitioner, and therapist. Together, you will create personalized treatment plans and goals to help guide you on your path to recovery. You will meet twice weekly with your therapist and once weekly with a dietitian and nurse practitioner.
Our PHP meets five days per week, Monday – Friday from 8:30 am – 2:30 pm. An optional sixth treatment day is available on Saturdays for adult patients who feel they need more support.

Virtual PHP for Adolescents
Parenting is never easy and can be especially tough lately. You may be noticing your teen’s behaviors around food, weight, or body size for the first time.

No matter what you may be dealing with, we are here to help.
Our virtual adolescent partial hospitalization program (PHP) gives teens (12-18) and their parents/caretakers the skills and education necessary to move toward recovery. Our adolescent program uses Family-Based Treatment (FBT), an evidence-based model proven to support lasting recovery.

Adolescent Beyond Body LGBTQ+ Group
This elective group focuses on the ways gender, gender identity, and conflicting ideas from the media can affect eating disorder thoughts and behaviors. Participants will engage in topics and exercises focused on the facts and fictions of gender and body perception and also practice strategies grounded in self-compassion, self-validation, mindfulness, narrative work, and cognitive-emotional problem-solving.
