About Walden Behavioral Care

About Walden

We are here for you, your family, your loved one, your patients… we exist to help individuals with eating disorders and their families.

In 2003 founder and CEO Dr. Stu Koman had a vision – to provide people living with eating disorders and other mental health conditions the care and support they need, at every level, on their road to recovery. Stu’s vision, which we all live to here at Walden, is referred to as a specialty healthcare system. What sets Walden Behavioral Care apart from others is the ability to provide every level of care not only to people of all ages but also to people of all genders. We pride ourselves on being inclusive of any and everyone who is struggling because as we know, eating disorders do not discriminate.

What makes our system of care unique is that each person has a dedicated team to understand them and their specific needs. We never want anyone to feel like they have to ‘start over’ when a new level of care is needed. Our team of empathetic, welcoming and highly-trained eating disorder specialists is in constant communication with each other regarding the care of each patient and their family.

Today, Walden Behavioral Care is a nationally recognized leader in the treatment of eating disorders. We work with most major insurance companies to help you get the care and coverage you need and deserve.

Our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. James Greenblatt’s philosophy of care focuses on treating ‘all of you’. This means seeing you beyond the lens of your mental health condition, and focusing on your unique biological, psychological and social stressors that can influence how you cope and react. We use evidence-based treatments and highlight the importance of family and loved ones as crucial members of your treatment team. These differentiating qualities have been catalysts in helping more than 22,000 people receive the specialized care they needed to progress in their healing journeys.

Over the years, we have remained an organization guided by a team of innovative and compassionate leaders. We have grown to 10 locations in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Georgia offering a range of services including inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programs.

Regardless of who you are, where you’re from or the circumstances that have brought you here, you have found a warm place to heal.

quote

90% of patients said their experience with their clinician was positive in helping them acquire coping skills and gaining insight into recovery.

The most helpful part of my experience at Walden was: meeting people who are going through the same things and gaining understanding and insight into my eating disorder.

93% said they felt welcomed by the staff when they began the program

When I entered treatment, I felt as though I was in a safe space and it stayed that way my entire time at Walden. I felt very supported by all the people around me.

I learned a lot from informative sessions about the way our eating disorders work. The education around nutrition and food helped me understand what my body needs to thrive.

The staff is phenomenal. I truly couldn’t be happier with the skills I’ve learned during my time here. Thank you so much for saving me.
