The founder of The Eating Disorder Center, based in Rockville Maryland, saw a need for eating disorder therapy-which is why she founded the center. Today, The Eating Disorder Center works with people virtually for eating disorder therapy throughout Maryland and Virginia.
Eating disorders are the second deadliest mental illness and the pandemic has caused The Eating Disorder Center to see a dramatic rise in the number of folks reaching out for help. Factors like spending more time at home, social isolation, and ongoing uncertainty have all contributed to the rise in people struggling with eating disorders during the pandemic.
The Eating Disorder Center is a group outpatient psychotherapy practice that uses the top evidence based treatments for eating disorders. Many of the staff are either personally recovered or have supported a loved one in recovery.
