Making a Difference with BALANCE

A Supportive Partnership

At BALANCE eating disorder treatment center™, we know that lasting recovery is a collaborative, dynamic process between the client and their support system.

We recognize the lack of support you may experience regarding eating disorders and food and body distress with your clients. Whether you are working in HR, at a school, or as a provider, professionals often receive very little guidance and training regarding eating disorders.

The team at BALANCE has set a high bar regarding eating disorder recovery and eating disorder awareness. We strive to provide unparalleled care through our programs, education, and outreach.

Our goal is to work with you to move clients toward healing and nourishment. At BALANCE, we prioritize building strong relationships based on trust so that you and your clients can access the benefit of a treatment center. We understand that your clients may need a higher level of care, and will work with you to align with the eating disorder recovery goals that you both have.

We are committed to maintaining regular communication with our clients’ outpatient team throughout their time with us to best support them before, during, and after treatment.

With collaborative care, we can support our clients in achieving lasting recovery. Together we can make a difference.

Our Approach

We believe in treating the whole person and meeting individual needs by providing a continuum of comprehensive care.

We use an intuitive eating approach, believing that all foods fit. Our staff utilizes the Health At Every Size (HAES) ® treatment model, as we believe that weight is not a direct measure of health. We incorporate treatment modalities such as relational psychotherapy, behavioral therapies (CBT, DBT, ACT), expressive therapies (art, drama & movement), experiential therapy, food exposure therapy, and family therapy groups, as well as meal supports, outpatient groups, individual treatment, and yoga and mindfulness.

Who We Treat

BALANCE is dedicated to providing personalized care at the outpatient level to adolescents and adults across all genders and sexual orientations. We treat the full spectrum of eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image issues, including:

BALANCE Client Profile

When to Refer a Client

To help guide your decision on when to refer to BALANCE, consider the following:

Refer to BALANCE if

You suspect food, body image, weight, or eating issues.
These behaviors are not decreasing in your client’s current treatment plan.
You have concerns about patient follow-through in regard to maintaining weight, meal completion, behavior use, and/or harm reduction.
You notice your client’s relationship to food or body is further destabilizing, notice rapid changes in weight, or suspect greater behavior use or distress than disclosed.
Your client has engaged in a program and now needs a lower level of care, such as PHP, PHP to IOP, or IOP to group support.

Your client is more likely to stabilize and recover the sooner you reach out.
