Our Philosophy

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 seeking treatment at Laureate.

Our patients often struggle with fears of growing up, assuming age-appropriate responsibilities, and being involved in loving relationships. We work with patients to resolve these fears and learn to cope successfully with the challenges of life.

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.

Most of the day, our patients are in groups with their individual therapist. Typically, the program breaks into smaller groups, each with five to six patients and led by at least one therapist.

Our team is trained in a variety of psychotherapy techniques. We can help to clarify your unique issues and how to deal effectively 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. Through cutting-edge research, Laureate is exploring the genetic basis of the disorders as well as innovative treatment models.
