You're not alone
5.5 million Americans are affected by an eating disorder every year*¹
These illnesses are serious.
Eating disorders have the second highest mortality rate of all mental illnesses, behind opioid addiction.
Early intervention is critical.
Research shows the sooner someone gets treatment, the more likely they are to recover and the less likely they are to relapse.
Getting the right treatment matters.
After working within a broken system, we built the treatment we knew needed to exist: accessible, evidence-based, and laser-focused on sustainable recovery.

We treat children, teens, and adults in all 50 states. Our providers are trained to treat all eating disorder diagnoses, as well as co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, and OCD.

Traditional mental health does not yet differentiate between treatment that feels good and treatment that actually works. The fully virtual platform is designed to make [treatment] accessible for anyone who has an eating disorder.
