Consider a Human Approach.
The world around us impacts our well-being and our ability to provide care. Your journey deserves a thoughtful approach that values who you are, the life you lead, and the community that surrounds you.
-
to empower clients and providers in seeking effective, equitable, and supportive health outcomes and interventions
-
Healthcare for All. Specialized care flourishes when made available equitably - regardless of ability, race, gender, orientation, wealth, locale, or lived environment.
Thrive Locally. Healthcare providers, like our clients, are sustained by live, local and harmonious relationships and networks of care.
Diversity in Care. Clients and providers benefit when they share the commonality of lived experience.
Sustainable Health Professions. Providers can care more completely throughout their careers when valued and supported by the systems in which they work.
Lifelong Learning and Mentorship. Creativity and innovation stem from sharing clinical experiences and learning in real time, for seasoned colleagues and newcomers alike.
-
Human-Centered. Individualized care is enhanced by allowing the client's instincts and intentions to guide the work.
Relational Framework. A supportive team moves through the work alongside you, holding space for tough moments and challenges.
Cultural Humility. A provider acknowledges the biases of medicine and science, and adapts best practices to their clients’ needs.
Care Continuity. An outpatient team that supports you through all the steps - successes, setbacks, team changes and treatment levels - provides a foundation of stability for lifelong recovery.
Find Your Dream Team.
Mental health is a social condition; leading with authentic connection between clients and providers, providers and providers creates space for meaningful work.
Eating disorders are beyond complex; providers who are informed, compassionate, and resilient are able to nurture lasting recovery.

What is a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist Consultant (CEDS-C)?
The International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals (iaedp) recognizes clinicians across the healthcare community that have gained the knowledge and skills throughout their career to treat individuals with eating disorders ethically and effectively - these clinicians obtain the Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) certification. A Consultant (CEDS-C) has achieved additional competency that allows them to mentor, train, and supervise other clinicians in the field as they work toward their own CEDS certification. This certification is also recognized for Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDN) by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) as fulfilling Continuing Professional Education (CPE) requirements for recertification.
