Walden’s Rainbow Road Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) are unique day treatment programs that provide eating disorder support for LGBTQ+ patients by LGBTQ+ providers.

LGBTQ+ Clients:

Rainbow Road is open to anyone 18+ who identifies as being part of the LGBTQ+ community.

A Queer Team:

Your Rainbow Road treatment team is made up of eating disorder specialist clinicians who identify as LGBTQ+.

LGBTQ+ Eating Disorder Groups:

All Rainbow Road groups will be centered around the LGBTQ experience. You will participate in groups that will allow you to explore how your sexual orientation and gender identity impact your eating disorder and recovery with staff and peers who truly understand your lived experience.

Treatment:

• Therapeutic meals
• Individual therapy
• Group therapy (including queer body nutrition staffed by a counselor and registered dietitian)
• Case management
• Weekly meetings with a registered dietitian in PHP and dietetic consultation as needed by request in IOP
• Psychiatric medication management in PHP

Schedule:

Rainbow Road is offered through Walden’s HIPAA-compliant virtual program. PHP meets 5-6 days per week. IOP groups meet 3-5 days per week, and clients can choose 8:45 – 11:15 am or 11:15 am – 2:30 pm.
