The innovative eating disorder program at Laureate has earned national recognition because we deliver results. In fact, more than 50 percent of our patients have sought treatment elsewhere before turning to Laureate.

Our patients often struggle with fears of growing up, working successfully and being involved in loving relationships. Through cutting-edge research, Laureate is exploring the genetic basis of the disorders as well as innovative treatment models.

Our staff is trained in a variety of psychotherapy techniques. We can help to clarify your unique issues and how to cope with them. Many of our patients struggle with depression, anxiety or obsessive-compulsive symptoms before developing an eating disorder. These problems may require sophisticated therapy and medications to remedy.

Our treatment program is highly individualized and we never forget that you are the most important part of your treatment team. To ensure your individualized care, we keep our program small: 12 patients in the adolescent track; 18 patients in the adult track.

For up to four hours a day, our patients are in small groups with their individual therapists. Typically, the adult program breaks down into three small process groups, each with five to six patients and led by two therapists. Treatment in these groups includes process group, body image group and meals.
