eating disorder treatment programs

working with all forms of eating disorders

At Galen Hope, we strive to interrupt the progression of eating disorders in teens and adults, to avoid the need for a higher level of treatment, or to offer a quality alternative for those who may have experienced repeated hospitalization or programs that didn’t “stick,” as well as to assist clients who are stepping down from that higher level of care. We work with all forms of eating disorders and with people of all sizes, and we embrace the idea that self-compassion, mindfulness, and self-care are vital to healing from the devastating impact of eating disorders.

Galen Hope is particularly suited to those who do not “fit in” with the traditional services provided by the majority of programs that currently treat eating disorders, or whose life circumstances require a more individualized approach. These individuals include adults and adolescents with:

Programs are also available for those with UFED and/or a history of treatment for eating disorders at the residential or outpatient level of care who have plateaued. All eating disorder cases will be evaluated by the admissions department and the clinical team to determine whether our program is an appropriate setting for your care.

principles of nutrition at galen hope

our nutrition philosophy

The nutrition philosophy at Galen Hope is grounded in mindful and intuitive eating, and regaining a connection with body cues regarding hunger and fullness that may have been lost along the way. We not only ensure our clients receive the nutrients they need to nourish and sustain their physical health, but also help them achieve a sense of emotional peace around eating and body image.

Meals at Galen Hope are prepared by our private chef and served in a family setting. Each one emphasizes a variety of tastes, textures, and cuisines, as well as makes room for client preferences. Clients with eating disorders receive personalized meal plans based on their medical, nutritional, dietary, and cultural needs.

We eat together as a group, to rekindle the happiness and sense of connection that comes from sharing a meal with others. In doing so, we focus on becoming more attuned to their body’s natural cues and taking pleasure in eating nutritious, nourishing foods.

At Galen Hope, we provide compassionate, individualized care for people of all ages and backgrounds who are navigating the complex challenges of eating disorders. Our clients include adolescents, teens, college students, and adults—each with their own lived experience and story. We serve professionals balancing high-pressure careers, neurodivergent individuals, dancers, athletes, and those in the LGBTQ+ and Jewish communities, all of whom deserve care that honors who they are beyond a diagnosis. 

We are especially attuned to the needs of BIPOC and Latinx clients, offering culturally responsive, bilingual support in a space that affirms identity and fosters connection. Many of the individuals and families we work with are also healing from grief, trauma, or systemic harm—including survivors of violence and loss. Whether you’re a parent seeking help for your child, or someone ready to begin your own recovery journey, you’ll find a safe and welcoming environment at Galen Hope.

we invite you here to heal in your own very special way

At Galen Hope, every client is immediately acknowledged as an individual whose story may not be represented by traditional diagnostic criteria. We seek to fully understand their life experience and to provide them with an affirming environment where they feel accepted and supported.

For someone struggling with an eating disorder or mental illness, finding a place in the world, forming connections, developing meaning and purpose in life, and having day-to-day support is vital to better outcomes, long-term health, and well-being. We create a sense of community inside our doors, where we facilitate a commitment to recovery. We find tremendous meaning in bringing someone into our circle and helping them recognize the importance they play in it. It is through these relationships that healing takes place and clients begin to develop the skills to live both independently and in relation to others.
