Individualized Eating Disorder Treatment for Adolescents & teens IN-PERSON PROGRAM STARTING IN AUGUST
Overview Of Our Adolescent Program
At BALANCE, we offer flexible eating disorder treatment options for adolescents, starting at age 12 suffering from anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder or disordered eating. We work with our clients, their family and treatment team to best meet individual needs.
Adolescent clients can expect an initial consultation with individual treatment planning. This includes direct interaction with our eating disorder certified therapists and dietitians, and our psychiatrist.
This consultation will inform how they fit into our daily program. Our youth program is a unique system of recovery support, which teaches tools for integrating recovery into school, family and social life.
We are starting a track in August, which will be in-person at our space in the heart of New York City.
