We offer the following for eating disorders:

• We offer the longest running, most seasoned, state of the art Intensive Outpatient Program in San Diego.


• We are the first treatment center to offer Brain Training as the primary treatment modality for eating disorders.


• We have treated many patients who have been unsuccessful in other treatment centers and the main region that drives the eating disorder is the dysregulated brain. The Neurofeedback directly corrects the brain wave patterns and interrupts the cycles of anxiety that perpetuate the symptoms. We have experienced tremendous success with some of our most challenging persons.
