Santa Cruz Eating Disorder Treatment

Once stable, individuals can benefit from an eating disorder treatment program dealing with deeper issues such as childhood trauma or other unresolved issues that have contributed to the development of the Eating Disorder.

At Harmony Place Monterey, we help clients gain control of behaviors such as restriction, binging, purging, and obsessional thinking about food, weight, and appearance. Our experienced team of eating disorder therapists works both individually and in group therapy, to help our clients unmask key issues underlying eating disorder symptoms and coach our clients to practice new life skills while in treatment. Clients learn what might be holding them back, what they are afraid of, and slowly confront those fears through exposure and self-evaluation. We teach clients how to practice and master new patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving on a daily basis. Clients obtain life skills and practice “real life” situations to gain a sense of competency and self-efficacy that provides the foundation to recovery. Clients work closely with the eating disorder treatment team, Primary Therapist, Dietician and Psychiatrist for 5 individual sessions per week.
