Center for Discovery Fairfax is a residential eating disorder treatment center that has provided residential and partial hospitalization treatment to patients of all genders ages 10-18. Center for Discovery Fairfax serves Northern Virginia, Washington D.C. and Southern Maryland, including Baltimore. 

In addition to receiving evidence-based therapies, patients all have the opportunity to put “joyful” back into movement through yoga and other activities. 

This adolescent gender-inclusive treatment center provides patients with group therapy, structured and monitored mealtimes, group social events, family therapy and individual therapy – all with a Health at Every Size® (HAES®) philosophy. The center’s homelike setting allows patients to practice dialectal behavior therapy (DBT)-informed skills in a real-life setting. Yoga therapy is offered twice weekly.

Dietary Program: Handling Eating Disorder Treatment with CARE

Healing, growth and a positive relationship with food is possible with the Center for Discovery Dietary Program. Our approach the CARE-CFD Model, which stands for “consistent attuned relational eating.” This means patients have the steadiness of a dietary plan that is adaptable to what’s happening in their life. The CARE-CFD Model embraces: trauma-focused nutrition therapy; collaboration between patients and the care team; responsiveness to the whole body, including being in tune with the nervous system; and weight inclusivity.
