Situated in a quiet location about a half a mile away from the University of Massachusetts, our Amherst eating disorder treatment clinic provides easy access to students and residents living in the five-college area. We offer partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient ED recovery programs and welcome adults and teens of all genders and their families. Family-Based Treatment is the focal point of our teen program and is designed to give parents an active and positive role in helping their child to reduce disordered eating behaviors, restore weight, and resume proper adolescent development. With specialty programming including LGBTQ, trauma, and college student tracks, a gender and sexuality alliance group for adolescents and outings for adults every other week, our Amherst clinic is dedicated to ensuring that you find a healing environment that addresses and supports your unique needs.
This program is ideal for teens who are medically stable but who require the structure and support of day treatment. Parents will take on a more active role at this level of care, learning – alongside your child – how to replace maladaptive behaviors with coping skills and how to deal with uncomfortable emotions in the moment.
Designed for teens in need of more structured support than their outpatient team can provide, this level of care utilizes Family-Based Treatment, an evidence-based intervention proven to support lasting eating disorder recovery that is meant to equip you and your family with the skills necessary to best help your child.
