Our Approach to Eating Disorder Treatment
We understand that those seeking treatment for an eating disorder, both individuals and families, may have reservations or concerns. Our goal is to meet our clients where they are, addressing their unique needs and circumstances. Our distinct approach makes our program stand out — providing evidence-based treatment blended with warmth, compassion, and a supportive environment. This creates a space where you can feel secure and empowered, fostering trust in the recovery process.
Our treatment is as unique as the individual. The overarching goals include:
- Restoring both physical and mental health
- Modifying eating disorder behaviors
- Establishing healthy eating habits
- Challenging negative thinking patterns
- Creating a plan for managing potential relapses.
Your personalized treatment plan will encompass:
- Various therapeutic modalities, including Psychotherapy, Ecotherapy, Expressive Therapy, and Exposure Therapy.
- Nutrition education, facilitated by a nutritionist or dietitian, where we aim to deepen your understanding of your relationship with food while fostering an eating plan that nurtures both physical and emotional well-being.
- The use of medication, which is typically considered on a case-by-case basis. At our treatment center, medication offers advantages by addressing co-occurring conditions, stabilizing mood and anxiety, and aiding in the management of symptoms. It’s important to emphasize that medication is not a standalone solution but is often integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan.
Our approach to treating eating disorders goes beyond just physical symptoms. We focus on the interconnected aspects of the disorder, including the psychological and emotional dimensions. Our strategy involves personalized therapy, nutritional counseling adapted to individual needs, and emotional support to build resilience. By understanding how these elements interact, your treatment plan is finely tuned to help you achieve lasting recovery and support your journey toward a balanced and fulfilling life.
At Eating Disorder Solutions, we will never try to put you into a one-size-fits-all program. Instead, you will always feel heard and understood by our team of health care practitioners. Our goal is to treat you with respect and compassion so that you can excel in your eating disorder recovery.

Eating Disorder Treatment Modalities
Your initial care plan will include individualized recommendations to provide you with the best eating disorder treatment options for your unique needs. Our dedicated clinical team will consider your diagnosis, symptoms and any co-occurring diagnoses when choosing from the following treatment types.

- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Also focuses on the negative emotions that you may feel especially if these emotions result in unhealthy physical behaviors. Individuals learn how to be mindful and how to control their emotions even when they are stressed.
- Nutritional Therapy: A registered dietitian will help you craft meal plans that fully meet your nutritional needs while also teaching you how to build healthy relationships with food.

- Group Therapy: Numerous individuals facing the same struggles will learn coping mechanisms and provide empathetic support to each other during group sessions.
- Family Therapy: Helps loved ones understand more about your diagnosis so that they have a strong support system after residential treatments.
- Support Groups: These groups help you remain healthy even after you have left residential treatment, and they provide a place for family members to be heard.
- Spiritual Therapy: This therapy addresses the spiritual components of emotions and health and acknowledges your religious beliefs.
- Expressive Arts: Expressive art lets you get your feelings out or tell your stories through painting, sculpting, drawing or other artistic techniques.

- Activities: Depending on location, we have a range of activities that include visits to downtown Weatherford, Clyde Warren Park, Bishop Arts District, zoo, botanical gardens and local festivals.
Everything we do is through a trauma informed lens, because trauma is frequently an underlying condition of eating disorders. We identify where someone is in dealing with their trauma, and everything is your choice when it comes to your body. You have a voice and autonomy.
In addition to trauma, we treat co-occurring disorders including:
- Bipolar
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Personality disorder
We also assess for substance use disorder, and can coordinate detox if necessary through our partner facility Discovery Point Retreat.
Eating Disorders We Treat
At Eating Disorder Solutions, we treat a wide array of eating disorders from the more common problems to the lesser-known ones. All of our eating disorder treatment plans are designed to get to the heart of the problem and to treat the mental and emotional issues present which may be causing dangerous and destructive physical behaviors.
- Anorexia nervosa
A common type of eating disorder which presents as symptoms of poor body image, resulting in restrictive eating leading to low body weight. Left untreated, anorexia leads to incredible damage to almost every body system and can even lead to death. However, anorexia treatment helps clients discover healthier ways of looking at their bodies while also improving their health through good nutrition. - Bulimia nervosaLike anorexia, bulimia also involves a lack of positive body image, but results in binging and purging cycles. Individuals may over-exercise, use laxatives, fast obsessively or even choose self-induced vomiting to get rid of their food and feel better about themselves again. Treatment for bulimia must focus on the underlying mental causes for the disorder while teaching clients about well-balanced meals and healthy exercise patterns.
- Binge eating
Similar to bulimia, binge eating disorder involves the consumption of large quantities of food in a short period of time, often accompanied by feelings of a lack of control, shame, or embarrassment. Binges may involve eating beyond the point of discomfort and can cause extreme emotional distress. However, this condition is distinct from bulimia in that it does not involve purging behaviors after a period of excessive eating. - ARFID
Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder is an eating disorder in which the body is denied the nutrients that it needs to function properly. As a result, all bodily functions slow down in order to conserve energy and can lead to serious medical problems. Compared to other eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia and binge eating, Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) doesn’t involve a desire to improve body image or lose weight. Individuals with this condition don’t follow eating rituals for any reason. Instead, they feel the need to avoid or restrict specific foods or all foods to the point that it damages their health. Some individuals don’t eat foods of certain colors, textures or types because they relate them to traumatic incidents. For others, ARFID involves the eating process in general. - OSFED
Other specified eating disorder, also known as OSFED, is an eating disorder in which individuals may have symptoms of anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder, but the symptoms blur the lines between all three, and do not fit neatly into one diagnostic category. OSFED is much more common than you may think. In fact, this disorder accounts for up to 50% of all eating disorder cases. Because of the severity of other specified eating disorders, treatment is crucial. OSFED may progress to anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder if left untreated.
Additional Treatments
Of course, we also offer treatments for a wide range of other disordered eating and body image concerns, including the following:
Co-Occurring Disorders & Eating Disorders
In many instances, those who suffer from anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, ARFID, and OSFED also suffer from a co-occurring disorder or addiction. These co-occurring disorders can make an eating disorder harder to monitor and control, increasing the severity and worsening the symptoms.
